Moving to Houston What to Look for in an Apartment.pdf Apr. 2014 | Page 5

Money matters –
apartment should be
cheap
Overall, Houston is an
awesome place to live in. Just
remember to pick out the
right apartments though!

T

he average cost of renting an apartment is at $600 per one
bedroom unit and $800 dollars for a two bedroom unit –
this highly depends if you contacted the right real estate
agent though. Having said that, the city has the most
affordable housing compared to the big cities.

Like nine other states, Texas does not impose income tax, which
is a huge sigh of relief if you're starting your corporate career
and looking to pay off all of those student loans. Remember to
pick out the cheap decent ones. Why live in a palace when you
can live comfortably in a studio apartment? Also, remember to
save a lot of money before moving in – you'll be exploring the
city and will certainly look at the art and theater districts!
