One of my sons is graduating from A&M next month and he took a job in NW Houston. It’s close to 290 and Pinemont Dr. He has never lived in a big city before. I don’t know anything about Houston. Is that a decent part of town or should he look for an apartment further out towards Cypress. How bad is traffic on 290 in that area? He wants to live within 20 minutes of work if possible. Any advice would be appreciated.

In Oak Forest tear down & rebuild lots are going for $400K. Higher in Garden Oaks.
I would direct your son into looking at some of these huge apartment complexes that are already built and twice as many more going up.
Start your search from Washington as the south starting point.
Use Studewood as your east border & 610 as your west & north border.
Tell him to focus on the one with the best pool setup. When summer hits the pool looks like a Vegas party every weekend. They are very social and do tons of activities together. Grilling at the pool, bike rides, running, pub crawls.
They are co-ed dorms for adults. Don't go with him or your gonna want to move in with him.
Cypress social scene is a bunch of old drunks watching sports together.
