Quick answer

Upper Kirby can be a great fit for a recent Aggie grad who deliberately wants peace and quiet, but Grant ranks it third by default because the area has lower ambient energy and, in his experience, fewer apartment choices. For someone moving alone, he would want strong existing social connections or a property with recurring resident interaction before choosing it over Montrose or River Oaks.
