Why should an Aggie grad evaluate Houston apartments block by block?

Quick answer

Because Houston neighborhoods can change quickly from one micro-location to another. Two apartments carrying the same neighborhood label may have very different walkability, street activity, restaurant access, commute routes and overall feel. Grant recommends looking at the exact apartment address, immediate blocks, parking and access, nearby destinations and the route to work rather than relying on a broad neighborhood name alone.
