So I’ve recently been accepted for my first apartment, yeeeees, and the manager recommended I go with Reliant.

I’ll be living on the 3rd floor, RIP to me, so it’ll probably get really hot during the summer but I won’t be moving in until end of July. I’m using powertochoose.org to compare rates and Reliant is offering a deal for new customers at a fixed 24-month rate, where it’s:

• 500kWh for 11.4 cents

• 1000kWh for 10.4 cents

• 2000kWh for 9.9 cents

I live in a house with 5 people and a baby so the energy bill is pretty high, especially around this time. I do what I can to conserve power but I’ll be in the same area as my family (about 20 minutes away).

I’ll be living alone but I work everyday except Sunday, and won’t be home until around 5-6 so I can keep certain appliances unplugged and lights off. I am shopping around currently and have time, but I wonder….

I plan to move around August and I’m looking at various apartments around the city. I kinda have my eye on the Westchase area and I’m rather familiar with it for the most part.

However, I’ve read mixed reviews on how one area is rather nice and right around the block is shady/seedy as hell. The apartments I’m looking at are rated 4.0+ or very close to it. I keep to myself and don’t go out, plan on getting RING installed if certain apartments allow it, but I do worry still. What are your opinions on the area?
