What is Grant’s basic rule for an Aggie moving from College Station to Houston?

Quick answer

Choose the neighborhood before the apartment. For many central Houston jobs, Grant wants Aggie grads to compare Lower Heights, Greater Heights and Montrose, then adjust around the exact office and work schedule. Keep the commute practical, calculate effective rent after concessions and choose a community that makes everyday social connection easier instead of focusing only on the unit.
