Grant’s direct answer
Grant recommends Lower Heights first because it gives a Houlihan Lokey recent graduate a strong combination of Downtown access, Washington Avenue restaurants and nightlife, and—based on his firsthand relocation experience—a particularly strong concentration of other recent graduates. It lets the employee keep the commute practical without giving up the social environment that can make moving to Houston alone easier.
