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

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

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!

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

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

I love this!! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for this video 🤞🏽🥰

Thank you for such great information. You've covered a lot of angles.

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

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

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 👌🏽

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.

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.

Thank you for sharing this!

thank you for posting this its very helpful

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

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! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Very informative thank you !

Exactly 100% what you said great video

Thank you, great video!

I’m new here❤️ Thank you for sharing!!

I live in Chicago now, and I’m really considering moving to Houston very 🔜. I stay in South Loop. What neighborhood in Houston resembles this type of area here?

I’m shocked about the amenities in Chicago. We have those same amenities in Kansas City but in our suburbs which wi Johnson County. Point being it’s in the Midwest.

Thinking of moving and this is so helpful!

Houston is lit af

All of these things are very common in Florida

YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

#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 search! 🤗

Very informative TY. I live in Dallas. Which neighborhood do you recommend in Houston?❤️

Houston for some strange reason has more apartments than houses. 75% of the people there combined, stay in apartments, townhomes that look like apartments and condos. That's the reason for the competition possibly and elaborate amenities.

#movingtoHouston in August. From the Chicago land area also.

hi planning on moving to Texas next year not sure which area i want to be in but I'm planning on coming to work there first as an agency nurse to see if its a good fit first

It’s amusing that this video popped up for me. I’m thinking about making the opposite move, from Houston to Chicago (or Evanston). What did you like about Houston initially? Also, looking that the date of this video, has living in Houston met your expectations?

#movingtohouston very helpful info! I'm relocating from IL and your advice helped me to be prepared for the extra fees and to be more wise in choosing a apartment to live in. Can you advise me? so far, my top choices are : Saphire resort apartments in nassua bay, Bar Harbor apartments in Seabrook, Harbour Point in Webster and The Madison on the Lake apartments. Do you know of these? recommendations?

I am moving to Houston this summer! What area would you recommend for two young women ?

BUGS...BUGS...MASSIVE BUGS!!!

Would you say this is the case in any other Texas cities or or cities in general?

Moving from Baltimore to Houston in August. Thank you

#MovingToHouston from NYC

This is so helpful, I’m planning on moving to Houston in Feb. 2021 with my kids, my credit isn’t the best but I have the income. I’m coming from Miami, FL where everything goes by credit, I wonder how that works in Houston?

I’ve never been charged a pest control fee. That’s the job of the complex. Be prepared for pest control to not be effective. They come in and spray baseboards and that’s all.

New subbie. Can you list some of these developments?

#moving to Houston can’t wait but under a budget girl😆

Can't wait to go back home to Houston for work and family and establish a business

I don’t like all of those generic, modern complexes. It has no character. But being from NY and living in Chicago I can see how Chicago landlords also compete and are actually kind of desperate. But I think Chicago apartments are much nicer. The architecture is way better in Chicago. But what you’re saying doesn’t completely make sense because Chicago has plenty of balcony apartments. I feel like 70% of the city has balconies. D.C. has a lot of those complex buildings as well. It’s like living in a mall. Chicago is the last city where you can find apartments with a living room and dining room and a separate kitchen. Most apartments nowadays don’t have a dining room and the kitchen is in the living room. Also, I live in Chicago and I was required to get renters insurance.

#houston I am in the process of moving

Renters insurance due to hurricanes

I'm moving to Houston

##Houston

Apartments in Houston are mostly gated but that does not ensure security because lot of complexes gates don’t work properly. I feel safer in Chicago area vs. Houston because the crime here is on another than Chicago. It’s not just people shooting each other like Chicago but more crazier crimes, less police patrolling. Houston 👎🏽

I’m from Cleveland Ohio I’m looking for one bedroom In Houston

#movingtohouston
