I took over a lease in a multi-family apt once. A good friend asked me to stay the remaining six months until the end of the lease. I didn‘t have to pay a deposit and the unit was furnished. I knew the deal was too good to be true.

The sound of a crying baby screaming at the top of his lungs or a kid bouncing a basketball upstairs above me seem to wake me up every weekend. You may not be the ideal tenant for a multi-family apartment if you engage in any of the activities that are listed below:

Throw loud parties regularly
Entertain high profile business associates at home
Hold practice for a rock band and impromptu jam sessions at home

Don’t fret, a loft, town home or mixed-use rentals will welcome you with open arms, but living large in a multi-family apartment might make your neighbors angry enough to file a complaint with the property manager.

The President had to find just the right dog for his girls, a Portuguese water dog, because one of them had dog allergies. If you share that same ailment you better make sure that your apartment complex isn’t a haven dog lovers.

You also don’t want to end up next door to a cute little tea cup Chihuahua that interrupts your sleep because it barks from dusk to dawn. Or you could move into a unit that was once inhabited by a pet that left just enough pet dander behind to give you a mild case of swollen eyes and a rash that will have you paying for an unplanned doctor visit.

A smart cost saving move is to drop your gym membership and find an apt  that has a fitness center, so that you can work-out at home instead of driving across town. Another caveat is that you don’t want to wait until you move there to discover that the place is only open at odd hours of the day when you’re working or it’s only available late in the evening when you need to be resting for work.

Your Futon and 32 “ flat screen may have looked huge in a 700 sq foot unit, but if you move into the 1,100 sq foot spacious open floor plan you have been craving, it will look under furnished and nearly empty.

You should think through how your furniture will look with those high ceilings that seem to touch the sky and the huge floor plan you always wanted. If you have been living in an efficiency or a one bedroom big on value, but short on space, your furnishings could be a terrible mismatch. You may have to spring for a few nice pieces that are more in proportion to the space.

Some of the high end luxury amenities that you’ll find in local apartment communities are aimed at attracting young professionals. Some of the perks that are being offered include swimming pools, club houses and lounges on site.

Their are some "good eats" at restaurants in and around Midtown apartments. Most of them are also fairly close and convenient to anyone working or hanging out in downtown Houston and TMC.

We have added a few of the new businesses that have recently hung out their shingles in the last year, and some of the old eating places that have been in the neighborhood for years.
