I have been to many cities, but it was only short-term, I even lived in Harlem for 3 months. Please give me some advice on how to deal with this. I am driving myself crazy, even the apartment hunt is killing me. I just want to calm my nerves. I Love New Orleans because everybody knows everybody. LOL. But, I know its not the best place to be Post-Katrina, so I chose to start my career elsewhere. But I think that I am starting to regret it. I leave in approximately 2 months, and I just don't know what to do.  |
I'm from Houston - born and raised.
The one thing about Houston is that you need a car.
As far as apartments - it depends on where you want to live. There is decent housing and not so decent housing all around town. If you don't like long commutes, then try to live close to your job. Right now the housing market is so-so, leaning towards the buyers side, so you might be able to get a very decent house / condo starting at around 150,000. Recently a developer was auctioning off his condos starting at 80,000. No matter where you live, go see it first - just don't go by the web site.
There's lots to do and get involved in, so don't worry about a social life.
