For summer housing during an internship in Houston, here’s what you need to know based on the most helpful WSO content:

  1. Best Areas to Live:

    • Midtown: Convenient for walking to work and has a good mix of bars and nightlife. However, recent posts suggest it might be getting a bit sketchy.
    • The Heights: A popular choice with a safer vibe and a good mix of restaurants and social spots.
    • Montrose: Known for its vibrant culture and great food options.
    • Downtown: Ideal if you want to walk to work, but it’s more expensive and can be noisy with ongoing construction.
  2. Transportation:

    • Car: Absolutely necessary to get around Houston efficiently. Public transportation is limited, and the city is very spread out.
    • Downtown Tunnels: If you’re working downtown, you can use the underground tunnel system to move around conveniently. It connects various parts of downtown and has lunch spots, tailors, and more.
  3. Weather:

    • Expect it to be hot and humid during the summer, so plan accordingly.
  4. Housing Costs:

    • Short-term rentals in Houston are relatively affordable compared to other major cities. If you’re interning, consider splitting costs with roommates to save money.
  5. General Tips:

    • If you’re looking for roommates, WSO threads often have people in similar situations looking to share housing.
    • Check with your bank to see if they offer any relocation stipends or housing assistance.
