Well, honestly, you'll have to do one or the other. :shrugs:

I love Houston, but there never really was or is any true urban planning and there is no zoning. So, you (the general you) could live in a great apartment / house / condo and be next door to a trashy automotive shop.

There is a web site that you can use to check out property in and around Houston, www.har.com, but like I said, before you commit to anything go see it first.

That was the strangest thing I'd ever seen

I checked this site out a while back, maybe I will check it out again. Thanks

I just moved to Houston about 3 wks ago. You have a job, so that's one thing out of the way. Like everyone else says, calm down. If you really want help with an apartment, you can always try a locator. www.houston.craigslist.com or www.thegreensheet.com. I also found this one http://houston1apartments.com/ helpful, but the natives will know more.

Thanks I really appreciate all of the help. I have tried 4 different apartment locators. They all gave me good info. but some of the places were either in bad areas, looked totally different from the way they were presented on the website, or was just too expensive. Those are the problems that I have been having.

Go to www.har.com and find a realtor and tell them the area, price you want

I'm curious as to what makes an area bad. Is it the presumed crime? The distance from your job? Because Houston is a very "industrial" looking city but there aren't a lot of areas I would consider to be "bad."

When referencing "bad", I mean unsafe, or high crime areas.
