I am pulling my hair out. Houston is too big to make sense of. I am from Decatur, a suburb of Atlanta and rent is too damn high. We visited Houston, mainly near Minute Maid Park and FELL IN LOVE. Also y’all rent is way cheaper than ours. I am getting too many options on APartmentList and niche.com isn’t useful so help?

I need a 3bd/2b under 1600. This part is easy according to what I have seen online especially because I work fully remote BUT

1. I want to be close enough to get to Astro games with EASE
2. A good school district for my Kindergartner
3. Walkable enough to hit up a grocery store or a park

For context, I am an afrolatinx, queer, single mom of a special needs kid. So, an area that’s DIVERSE DIVERSE is important to me.

Initially, I did all the darn looking and ended up picking 3 places in alief based on price and if Tobe Nwigwe has taught me anything, I ain’t leaving Atlanta for damn Alief. I then looked at some spots in Clear Lake and Memorial but they were not diverse enough for my tastes. Should i stick to Montrose?
