Houston apartment recs?

[GOAT 1]

I'm 30, recently single, and work in Deer Park but have no desire to live there. I'm wanting to spend at max 1300 on a 1 bed apartment. I've had people recommend to look for places in Midtown, but I don't know if I will find a place that's not in the ghetto at my price, plus I might be too old for Midtown. Others have said to look at Heights, Washington, Rice-Military, and Upper Kirby, but I don't know anything about those places. Any suggestions?

Head the other way and get a waterfront place in Kemah.

I had a friend who used to live here and had no complaints.

Not all of Midtown is young. You would be in between downtown and Montrose and easy access to I-45 (until they tear it apart), and a short Uber to everywhere. EaDo is up and coming, but not much retail. Heights, Washington/Rice Military are good options. I think downtown would be out of your price range.

I prefer Montrose, but I'm biased because I live in the area.

Edit: Some people complained of maintenance issues lately at those apartments above. That complex might be aging. Can't beat the location though,

It was almost 10 years ago now but I lived here for two years while in law school and loved it. https://www.plazaatriveroaks.com/Home.aspx

It's a pretty small complex and doesn't have any on-site amenities but I didn't care about a pool, gym, etc. Great location.

Montrose/EaDo/Midtown/Heights.

I would use Google Maps to determine the commute for all of the locations mentioned here.  It's amazing that another place a 5 miles away can add (or subtract) 10-30 minutes to your commute.   Adds up over a year.   It would seem to be an easy commute from Midtown to Deer Park but I bet Upper Kirby or the Heights would be a pain.

I'd stick to Midtown or EaDo for that commute.  30 isn't too old for either. The Seabrook/Kemah idea isn't bad either.

Strippers sound nice, but don't move to the Galleria area
