Default Roommate wanted: Houston

So, I am graduating from Texas A&M May 14th. I'm going to work in the Galleria area on San Felipe. My parents live in Kingwood, but that is a ridiculous commute and I really don't want to live with them.

Is anyone looking for someone to live with or even get a house? I'm looking to save some money by having a roommate or two and I'd like a garage since I'll probably be buying a new car also. I'm open to looking into other areas than the Galleria, but closer is better for me.

Just a little about myself... I'm 24 and a car nerd like most people on this forum. My degree is in Petroleum Engineering. I feel like I'm easy to get along with. Like to keep things clean for the most part. I have a well-behaved black lab. Like enjoying a beer or ten on weekends lol

Even any suggestions on where to live in the area would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Mattko

"Cheap" and "1 bedroom near the galleria" don't really mix unless you go ghetto. Good luck

Well, I didn't really say "cheap", I said I wanted to save money by having a roommate.

I haven't visited them personally, but I've seen some in the ~$900 range that look pretty nice on craigslist and realtor sites.

Just kinda wondering if anyone had any personal experience with the area and knew a "reasonably" priced nice place to live.

There's a few neighborhoods on Richmond that might have some houses for rent, but for the most part anything half a mile from the Galleria is ghetto. I know cause I live a couple miles from the Galleria on Richmond.

When i was single, i rented a tiny house around Studemont and I-10 for 450 bucks, check north of I-10 in the Heights area, theres lots of garage apartments and small houses for rent.
