Nicest apartments in Houston??

Need a place to live soon. Looking for somewhere in midtown/memorial heights/washington/downtown
Budget is ~$1500/room max for 2 bedroom.

Anyone know of nice complexes?

You're not going to be able to find anywhere "super nice" and close to downtown on 1500/mo for a 2br in Houston. The places listed are all in the ~2000+ 2br range. Check out Esplanade (288 to Downtown) for something closer to your price range and still good.

If you're set on the areas and pricerange you've listed (Esp is in the Med Center), try Calais (Midtown), Archstone Memorial, Metro Midtown (a bit higher than 1500/2br), and Marquis Downtown Lofts (Downtown).

Actually no everything here is in my price range except for Mosaic. 2121 has 2 bedrooms under 1000, metro is around 1200-1300, and windsor had 2 br for 1400/room

Thought you meant 1500 total, not 1500br. Hell if you're down to pay 1500/br, get yourself a townhouse on HAR. Can get MUCH nicer places then what you'll find at places like 2121 or Gables.

To the guy suggesting living in Katy as an analyst (assuming OP is an analyst), heck no! That commute is ~30mins in the AM. Nobody wants to do that as a Y1.

 

AMLI 2121 is nice

You also have Gables West Ave, but thats closer to 610 somewhat.

My other recommendations would be 2411 Washington, City Place Midtown, Camden Travis Street, Camden City Centre. All of these are good, but as I mentioned if you are willing to live in between downtown and the galleria, I'd recommend Gables in upper kirby. Really nice and posh area with plenty of bars/restaurants around.

oldmansacksI'm sure a complex attached to a Costco probably won't be "filled with a bunch of tatted up 30 yr. old meat heads / international students"

homophobic? That is quite a stretch - I simply enjoy being around a certain type of people (as most anyone does). I'd rather live in a place with a fun/young crowd of young professionals who have potential, rather than an apartment filled with people who are more concerned with their physical appearance / whether they took in enough protein last meal.

So you are saying people who care about the way they look have no pontential and are not fun? You are the dumbest fuck I've seen in a while. Good luck with all that.

WHoa there buddy - vent that anger. Obviously that is not what I am saying. I am referring to people who have "jobs" rather than careers - people who spend 2 hours at the gym everyday and are more concerned about short-term lifestyle rather than long-term goals. There are a lot of people in Houston like that and I'd simply rather not live in a place where there is a high concentration of that - is that so hard to understand? I'm not saying that I despise that type of person or that they are somehow inferior, I simply would rather not be around all that.

 

To be honest when you're in Houston you can't expect to find a neighborhood that's completely insulated. If you're from the east coast then you're not going to find the same type of "vibe" in Houston.

I would suggest you look into the West U area (I'm sure you've heard this plenty). I think anything on Kirby east of 59 would be nice for a young person.

I hope your car has good functioning air conditioning, you're going to need it.

 
analystforhireI think oldman is trying to say, and I agree, that Costco, etc, is more synonymous with a less unsavory crowd then aforementioned sub-humans.

So now a 30 year old "tatted up meat head" is sub-human? haha

 

Anyway, sorry for the above "rant". I'd definitely say upper Kirby area. You wanna be close to work and in a good neighborhood.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
