Hi,

I’m considering a job offer in Houston that would be in Greenway Plaza. Unfortunately due to the pandemic I’d have to make my decision without ever having visited Houston.

I’m a big fan of walkable areas. While I do enjoy driving as well, my ideal Sunday would involve sleeping in late, taking some CBD, and then casually walking around the neighborhood for some coffee and eats.

I’m fortunate to be making enough to comfortably live across the street from my office in Upper Kirby / Greenway Plaza should I choose so. As someone in his mid 20s, is super single, and has a strong affinity for walkability as described above, would Midtown definitely fit me much better than Upper Kirby?

On a side note: what would the drive during rush hour be like from the SW edge of Midtown to Greenway Plaza? Unfortunately again due to the pandemic I can’t get a realistic estimation from maps right now. Google / Apple maps are showing me a ~10m drive.

Thanks all
