Apartment Hunting in Houston, Texas | Prices Included

[@HtineTEE]

As a Houston native…the city has doubled in just 10-15 years. Those same apartments would be maybe 1000 without all of the growth. Plus our salaries have not grown to keep up with some of the fastest growing housing prices in the nation. I am paying 1000 in an apartment that used to cost 600. I actually feel quite sad that I can’t afford to live in the new nicer apts. but they don’t build those for us. They are to attract ppl like you. But enjoy!! There’s enough room for everyone!

[@terrycrews1760]

Straight up. My first apt in Houston was a luxury apt at $786 rent back in 2013. I moved out in 2019 but by the time I moved out my rent was like $1180. Ngl I live in a newer nicer apt in the Heights and pay $1900 now but my situation changed. Even still ya boy struggling and just barely getting by. Truth be told I feel like now $776 only gon land you in the ghetto somewhere.

[@kmydesire12]

Same here in Florida. Places in the hood are asking 1800 for 1 bedroom

[@Kay.Marie.Wellness]

I feel like this is sadly an argument everywhere. I’m in San Diego now (left Houston last year) and some places offer cost of living increases to help but overall still an unfortunate predicament. I now see why practically everyone has a roommate here.

[@ahmedzakikhan7639]

In midtown Toronto Canada, one bedroom quality appartment costs 2500 without car parking at minimum.

[@toaugiewitluv3197]

No it’s not Like that for native texans. If you bring New York money to Houston sure! You still live a great life. But if you are a teacher bringing like $1700 home twice a month. It’s not the same

[@mebsr12]

Couldn’t agree more

[@HtineTEE]

Man..hol up!!! Big facts. I feel like I’m being priced out of my own city

[@mtymama6598]

Yea…this is pretty high for Houston teacher’s income! If you need more affordable prices, there’s other areas of Houston.

[@jedclams4559]

better buy a small house or condo, fast while you can

[@sleepmoneyken9234]

@@HtineTEE I'm so gotdam pissed at all these people fleeing down here ..just ruined Texas!

[@biglex42]

“Rent this affordable”? Lmaooo 1800 for a one bedroom is ridiculous when my house in Missouri city is $1300 and 4 bedroom. Rent has increased like crazy since all these people from Cali and New York moved her and started saying high rent was “cheap”/affordable

[@Kay.Marie.Wellness]

Missouri City is no where near downtown tho lol. I lived and worked downtown and hated Houston traffic so I was definitely paying for my sanity and peace with no traffic.

[@denisemock5372]

Rent is ALWAYS higher in metro areas even before Cali or NY people came, it is that wages that have become stagnant in TX. You can blame this on the people who run the state and the companies/corporations who came for tax breaks and lower wages.

[@biglex42]

@@denisemock5372…it’s documented. You don’t live here. Rent in the city went from $800 to 1300 for the same place in less than 3 years due to the influx of people coming down and willing to pay those prices.

[@candacegriffith9883]

I'm paying $515 for a 3 bedroom 😳 That's why I'm scared to move. I've became too comfortable.

[@ashantididit]

I guess that’s what’s attracting us there…. It’s like 2500 for this in ny 😩

[@aac8033]

got out of the military and decided to go to school , i was about to move into one of these but i moved in woth my parents because im still single . i pocket my BAH . altough i complain something im overall grateful living in TX

[@imaddie8steph]

Yeah we're not living in luxury if alot of Houston natives can't pay for luxury lol

[@sammiesmith3454]

currently in Houston and from here, most people from here cannot afford those apartments

I want to start a cooking show so this is perfect. I'm going to be coming from NYC as well.

Lmaooo 2700 is affordable?? Holy, I live in the woodlands and I can find better apartments. They were beautiful, however a 1 bed 1 bath just isn't worth the money.

[@lakiablanks9855]

I am moving to Galveston in June from Seattle and I am looking for me an apartment you’re giving me some ideas🥰🥰

[@nxssaa]

Hi Im from Texas near that area and I recommend getting apartments about 15 to 25 minutes from Galveston, that area floods so easily when it rains and there’s only one way in and out the island so traffic isn’t the best. I live in the sugarland tx, and it’s a good distance from everything. But if you didn’t know this information already I just wanted to give you a heads up !

[@Erica-fm8fq]

Hello, id love to assist you in finding a place. =) I do apartment locating.

[@sserrato30]

Living in Galveston was amazing! So awesome living walking distance from the beach but.. on the weekends and almost 24/7 in the summer the traffic is horrible

[@e.s.5529]

make sure you have something to float on from August to November . lol

[@kymistryw]

I'm planning on moving to Houston, TX next year. I do agree with paying cheap rent will get you cheap quality, you get what you pay for. I live in Charlotte, NC rent has went all the way up but I went from paying 875 to 1,685 ( I moved) but I am glaaaad to pay it because I don't have to be disrespected by ma Management because my rent is cheap. I had to get a second job but hey I'm happy.

[@schwarzeraraberhengst2124]

whats cheap anout 1899

[@carlosherrera2]

Thank you for showing these amazing apartments! May I ask you, who pays for these amenities? A landlord or tenant? Is the rent price of $1800 include using of gyms, pools, etc.?

[@Soul.Munchie]

theres a monthly fee for the amenities, i think it was around $25 a month

[@carlosherrera2]

@@Soul.Munchie Really? I see common property and there is 300-700 bucks per months. But this HOA if you a buying and became a homeowner.

[@stacyhoward5464]

Weather is not amazing...wait til the 110 degree days and 99 degree nights, your electric bills will be over 500/month for 10 months a year!

[@jamesweaver1635]

Some folks enjoy warm weather and some do not; if you do not like the heat, move to a colder climate and complain about the constant snow buildup and cold weather!

[@jedclams4559]

once the sun goes down humidity climbs to 80-90% - 65-75% during the day

I have never had a light bill that high in Houston and I used to own a 4 bedroom house. 😂 Newer places are energy efficient.

[@Lashante727]

lol naw we dealing with no lights during random blizzards XD

[@2Sayurichan0]

Native Houstonian here and I hate to tell you this hun, but girl you are so not from here lol. Houses in Houston go for that amount and even less depending on where the house is and who is leasing or selling it. You have to be a norther or a coaster (east or west) to think $1800 for an apartment is reasonable. And that is just the rent. Most places require you to have your own electric, water, cable/internet/wifi provider, and you have to have renters insurance, plus a deposit which can be as high as a full months rent, and then have to pay first and last months rent BEFORE moving in (for most nice apartments). Forget about moving in with a pet because the prices at that point are just not worth it. Not trying to dig on Houston, but these are the facts. look into all that you have to pay for when apartment searching, not just the rent. Just a little tip to help out.

[@Soul.Munchie]

yup, you're right sis! I'm from NYC, check out my Houston vlog to see why I was visiting 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4nLhKWBoN-rhKs

@@lpaleaz5707 anything less than 1k is gonna be “ya get what ya pay for” type of places unless you luck up on a serious deal. Most decent places are now starting at about 1k.

Cool 👍 I love Houston 😀

[@Soul.Munchie]

Such a beautiful place!

[@shekelafarmer8306]

👌 Both apartments shown by the attached 🎥 were really nice, I'm thinking the monthly rent cost includes being so close to downtown Houston Texas.😊

[@shaunyb22]

Question: What do you mean by gross rent and net rent?

[@Soul.Munchie]

Gross rent is total rent. Net rent is total rent minus the promotions (4 months free). For example if the gross rent is $2700 per month but the lease offers 4 months free, it calculates to technically $1800 a month. Hope that helps!

[@shaunyb22]

@@Soul.Munchie thanks! I’m apartment hunting in Houston all of next week. Is that common (4 months free), and if so what’s the catch? Haha And do you have names of places currently offering it?

[@Soul.Munchie]

@@shaunyb22 No catch at all! A lot of apartments are trying to get as many units filled, especially with the pandemic so theyre offering incentives to get people to move in. The first one was Camden McGowen Station Apartments and second one was Drewery Place. I really liked the location of both places. Good luck with apartment hunting!!

[@reemthebarber1900]

@@shaunyb22 the catch is for year 2 or 3.... when you renew your lease, and there might not be any specials. Then you pay the full gross rent.... with no discounts.

what are the apartments name on the video ?

[@Soul.Munchie]

The first one was Camden Travis apartment. Second one was The Drewery

[@Kay.Marie.Wellness]

I have a friend that lives in Drewery and omg it really is nice. They would post pics of their living room window when it rains and the view of downtown 👌🏽. I visited once and they had a little resident party on the roof with mini charcuterie boards for everyone to take home.

[@Soul.Munchie]

ahh thats so cute!! Yes the drewery was my fav!

[@Sasha-vn9qw]

Drewery has terrible reviews of tenants complaining of the property. They’re inexpensive for a high rise, you get what you pay for.

[@captus4920]

$1,800 & $2,700 for one bedroom.... No. Also, not a fan of ''Hotel'' like design apartments, with too many floors and claustrophobic halls.

[@nataliaromanova6535]
