Should an Aggie grad live directly on top of Houston nightlife to be walkable?

Quick answer

Usually no. Grant likes being close enough to walk to activity without necessarily putting the bedroom directly over the loudest part of it. Living one or two blocks off a busy corridor can preserve much of the convenience while reducing noise, traffic and late-night disruption. Exact unit orientation still matters because even apartments in the same building can have very different exposure.
