Hi 🐠 looking to move with my husband and infant to Houston but struggling to find a good place. Heard Hanover (Autrey, Parkview, Driscoll) is going downhill, Blvd / West Oak (above gallery) is nothing to walk and sounds crime goes up. Where do you all live with small infants if you prefer apartment complexes (for security)? Any insights on the Westcott? Thanks all

I would not move to an apartment complex for “security” in Houston unless you’re talking a place with a doorman. Apartment garages are easy targets for cat converter and tire thefts, and generally the security is a single rent-a-cop at night.

Would look Heights, Bellaire, plenty of other areas, and would opt for a townhouse or bungalow.

The Heights is nice, very family friendly, but expensive.

I would recommend micah doherty if you need a realtor. Realtors can help look for leases at no cost to you (apt or landlord will pay). He helped me find an apt close to downtown.

DM me too.. do either of you have a job lined up? there are many places good to live, picking one can be a matter of where you work. also when you say Houston are you specifically differentiating between the woodlands/spring, Katy, Cyprus or is it all Houston to you? also are you minorities? what are your occupations? I transplanted a year ago

We live in The Sterling (across the street from the Hanovers) and really love it. Made some good friends in the building and they all like living here too. The location and proximity to Buffalo Bayou Park, grocery stores, commute downtown, etc. is awesome.

We looked at The Westcott too but it was out of our price range!!

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
