Looking for something around west or northwest houston. Around $400 a month. Studio or one bedroom only. SAFE. SAFE. SAFE. I don't know anything about the area, and I've tried all the internet sites but don't get much good info.

I doubt your gonna find anything close to SAFE for $400 a month!

My friend has an apartment over in La Porte. He pays like $1000 a month. It's a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom. They are pretty nice. I plan on looking for an apartment in that area pretty soon also. I'm having thoughts about moving over into the La Porte/Deer Park/Pasadena area. If I see anything online in the area your looking for an apartment in, I'll let ya know something.

i'm in the woodlands and pay 800, it's safe here for the most part. kind of a nice town still...for now...

TATER

Thanks guys. My mind boggles at the cost of living here, even still. A $400 studio or 1 BR back home is a very nice apartment in a very nice part of town, lol.

cardboard box ftw

Haha.. What about when it rains. I guess throw a tarp over that **** so your box can stay dry.

for 400 you should be able to afford a tarp. box+tarp = easy livin

GunshotZ28

Yeah. I highly reccomend one of them big boxes. Like the ones that a fridge or stove come in. That way you can atleast fit two people of it comes down to it.

I actually have one of those 8 person tents. I could put it out under a bridge and charge bums a few bucks a night to stay there. Money maker for sure!

Yeah $400 wont get anything, yet I cannot image anywhere. Galleria area apartments go for atleast $525 for very small 1 bedrooms!

You won't find any for that price range in NW Houston unless you look near 290 and W. Tidwell and I for sure wouldn't live there! I lived off of 290 and Jones and paid $675 for a 1 bedroom, I would say that would be more what your range would be for any apartment.

You need to find a roommate in order to afford anything decent for that price.....for about $800 or more you can get a decent 2 b.r.

You think the cost of living is high here, go to NY or LA, lol.

Thats right. I have a friend that lives on the upper west side in Manhattan and pays $1400 a month for a 300 sq feet Studio. Only door is the bathroom door! The bed is one foot away from the couch!

damn, 400 a month aint much, and ussually when you pay less, the security issue goes up

There are several groups of older apartments off hwy 6 that are cheap and not that bad. You wont find $400 but you will find 500-600. I cant imagine a 400 a month complex in houston even coming close to being safe

TATER

Went up to 500. It's me and the girlfriend. We're leaving at the end of June. Can pay 3 of the 4 months up front. Possibly all 4. Short term type thing. I've been all over apartments.com and rent.com and had some "favorites" we will check out.
