    The housing shopping trip starts tomorrow! Thanks all for the feedback, he's targeting areas around Midtown. We'll see where he ends up.

    That didn’t go well. The only thing he liked was $3k/mo. He got slammed by many rental agents, one places price increased $150/mo while he was there. I think he’s had to reset his expectations.

    Yeah, not surprised. When we talked a couple of months ago and you told me about his 1.5k budget and wanting to be inside the loop you might remember we both agreed he might be in for some disappointment.
    Don’t worry though. They’ll find a place in their budget. They’ll commute a little farther, but they’ll be ok.

    He’s wanting to rent a house or an apartment?

    Good selection of 1br montrose apartments for $1500.

    And the winner is:

    Upper Kirby/River Oaks, near Kirby and Westheimer. He went a little over budget but got a 2 bed/2 bath so he'll have room for me to visit and stay for extended periods. When it's not Summer. :)

    Thanks all for the input, it was an experience!

    Congrats! That's a great area with a ton of good restaurants and bars with easy access to both the Med Center and the Galleria. He's going to be spoiled!

    What's hot these days? I'm thinking Kirby Collection?

    Where are all the other Ferraris? Just up the street on kirby right? Should I just buy a condo?
