Why does Grant usually start Houston recent graduates in Lower Heights?

Quick answer

Lower Heights combines several things Grant values for a newcomer: a strong recent-graduate peer environment, restaurants and nightlife along Washington Avenue, newer apartment choices, central access, and a compact enough lifestyle that the renter can get out and interact with the neighborhood. For someone rebuilding a social network after college, that combination is difficult to beat. HomeBase still checks the exact apartment, unit, management, parking, and current pricing, but Lower Heights is Grant’s first general Houston comparison unless a stronger practical constraint—such as a difficult commute, high-rise requirement, or desire for a quieter environment—moves another area ahead.
