5 Things Nobody Tells You About Apartments In Houston 😩 + *BONUS TIPS*

You gotta be careful which area you move to with multiple complexes in close proximity to each other. There can be conflicts between the young people... ie: fights, shooting,etc. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security with the gates.

Also if your budget is above $1800 get a realtor!!!! You don’t pay them the apartment does and they will find your perfect spot no hassle

Absolutely! I moved from chicago to houston about 5yrs ago and that’s what i noticed the pool, balcony, walk-in and they all have ac… and i was paying $587 when i first moved here… i love it!

Me sitting in my expensive ass Chicago apartment with no parking, no pool, no patio, no dishwasher, no in unit washer and dryer. And they raise the rent every year.

They not all good, lived here my whole life n I’m struggling to find an apartment without bugs, dealing with bs leasing office n etc. so make sure you yelp every apartments the residents will tell you wassup.

I’m from the Chicago area. I grew up in the south suburbs and lived in the Hyde Park and south shore area for 6 years before I moved to Houston in 2012. The type of apartments you’d see in Houston are more like what you’d see in the suburbs or the luxury apartments in Chicago. It’s definitely available in Chicago but you’ll pay more for it. But the suburbs of Chicago are a lot more affordable. Houston seems to be the opposite, suburbs are more expensive. As for parking, although you don’t have to park on the street most complexes are very strict about parking in their lot. You’ll still deal with towing issues and get a notice on your car saying that they’re going to tow it for things like flat tire, expired registration, etc. For me Houston more comparable to living in the suburbs of Chicago. Although I never experienced towing issues with apartments in the suburbs of Chicago. They didn’t monitor the parking that hard. But I spent most of my time living in the house I grew up in Illinois. So apartment living in general was different to me.

Really like apartments coming with washers and dryers in them

liking the visit since we both from Chicago :) thanks for the info #thinkingaboutmovingtohouston

you definitely have to read the reviews on pest control because the older and cheaper the apartment is the more likely you're going to experience roaches. And unfortunately, if one of your neighbors is not very clean, they're going to have pest which will keep coming into your apartment as well.

Can u make a video over the houston flood map; And best places to move to, to avoid flooding?

Moving to Houston at the end of the year from Minneapolis. Can't wait! Thanks for all the great information!

I just rented an apartment and found your video after . I can confirm everything you said is absolutely on point . :)

There are still many apt complexes here that lack a walk-in closet, patio or balcony, gym and washer/dryer. I moved from one in Feb, it's an older community (very well maintained) and l just found out they went up by $220 for the size l was in. Makes no sense to me because there are no updates in that complex, only the location is really good and it's safer than many. Also, don't depend on management to tell you if they flooded. Try to find a resident who's been there for a while. That's how l found out that last apt l was in flooded. Management told be no but a longtime resident told me they did.

I really enjoyed the tip of viewing apartments of different price ranges just to have an idea of the renting scene!

All facts i live in the suburbs of Dallas and moved from Chicago never have i seen so many beautiful homes and apartment complexes in my life. Illinois is so behind in my opinion compared to Texas i have a very nice apartment with an indoor parking garage 👌🏽

#movingtohouston from ohio im excited. im going all by myself and baely know anyone! i appreciate your tips so much

From Miami and just came back from a trip to Houston. Ran into a childhood and lost my shiiii when he told me how much his apartment is by some area called galleria? $1350 for a MASSIVE 1/1, with all the amenities you mentioned. That exact unit in Miami, and location and set up.....you're easily looking at $2300, starting! 🤦🏻‍♂️

As a Californian I'm mind blown looking at prices and amenities in Houston.

#itsHoustonforme 🥰 I’m curious... did you know any of these things already? If you found value in this video please thumbs up 👍🏾 babe 😘 and good luck on your apartment searc

I just moved from Chicago to Houston 3 weeks ago. This was indeed helpful
