PROXIMITY TO YOUR OFFICE
Houston is home to numerous
energy and oil companies, as
well as a few Fortune 500
companies, making it an ideal
city to start you life in. If you're
looking to study, well, Houston
hosts a number of universities,
particularly the University of
Houston.

As mentioned previously, it has
a population of over two
million,
and
the
public
transportation choices are
limited – buses and a light rail
transit are present. These
however, have limited range,
meaning you're better off
owning your own vehicle.

This also means that the city
has a young and vibrant
population. The city of more
than two million has a lot of
living spaces for rent – town
homes, high rises and many
more. Having said that, it is

Houston is a BIG city, being 628
square miles, making it the
largest city in the Lone Star
State.

In this case, choosing an
apartment near your office
wouldn't be a problem – due to
the booming economy and high
student population, there are
numerous living spaces for
rent. There's probably one just
five minutes away from your
workplace.
