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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
