The Heights, Galleria area, around Rice University, etc. Conroe is nice but it's a far out suburb with zero nightlife and about 45-50 minutes to the airport. Some other nice suburbs are the Woodlands (30-40 minutes) and Kingwood (15-25 minutes) and Atascacita (15-20 minutes). If you want to live super cheap real close by live in Greenspoint but be warned it's not a nice area. It's nicknamed Gunpoint for a reason. There are a few other okay areas too like northwest of the airport off of FM1960. A lot of people really rag on Houston but I enjoyed living there. The cost of living is great. The nice areas are very beautiful with lots of greenery, and I loved the weather. There are a lot of ugly areas like in any city so don't live there and you'll like it. There is a lot of traffic in certain areas too but almost none in others. Good luck.
I'm supposed to, according to the current contract (currently up for renogtiation, supposed to be taking paycuts, we'll see) start out making $41,000/yr. My idea of "real cheap" in the last two cities I've been in (for having my own place) is anything less than $900/mo. I am young, so something like the loop sounds good. What does a decent place cost there? Is that an easy commute to the south side of IAH? P.S. Ignore Vector4Fun, he's yanking my chain. He knows I can't move to Austin for about ten years.
