Tasteful Friends- Look at this beautiful apartment for $935 a month in Spring, TX

Welcome to the principle of supply and demand. Housing is more expensive in popular areas and cheap in unpopular ones.

Remember to boil the water.

One more person who doesn't know what "literal" means, unless he's three inches tall and can live in a literal shoebox.

Prefab housing complex shit. Overpriced.

“Literal” means for all intensive purposes, doesn’t it?

Is this a test R5?

Having to walk through the bathroom to get to the clothes closet is a no sale for me.

Obviously Mike Brady was not the architect.

Plus the neighbors play their music too loudly.

Matt Bomer and Lee Pace graduated from high school at the same school there. But -

Houston.

Texas.

No.

I would rather live in the nicer parts of Houston, where you would probably be working, or rent a little farther north, in The Woodlands , where you could walk and shop, and ride a bus to work.

I think Jim Parsons is from Spring, TX.

TRUST ME! You would never want to live in Spring. It’s red-neck, bigot, “Karen” on every block hellhole. Although there is one gay bar there, so there’s that. Houston neighborhoods you would like are Montrose, The Heights, or Midtown. Unfortunately you’ll have to double or triple that rent amount, but it’s worth it.

Not sure I'd go for "beautiful" or "gorgeous" OP, but it's certainly newer and clean.

That said, you're living in suburban Houston

Was that a wee deck or terrace that was skimmed past? I want to see that too. And the view from it (probably parking lot and dumpsters and two withered saplings).

I would rather live in a state that was not a third world country for electric supply.

I wonder if TX will ever fix the electricity problem

[quote]Although there is one gay bar there, so there’s that.

And I'll bet they play BOTH kinds of music-- country AND western!

You can get a 1,300 sf apt in NYC area (NJ) for the same price.

Oh dear r17. Read your listing again.

Even in low rent Phoenix I am horrified what people are paying for rents. My mortgage is less than 500 a month and i will own the place one day.

R19 it’s scary. And I’m tired of the excuse of it being due to high demand. Enough.

And if you’re a native of that city you shouldn’t have to pay what transplants pay. Period.

[quote] And if you’re a native of that city you shouldn’t have to pay what transplants pay. Period.

And natives should get free ice cream and half-price movies

R21 no. But they shouldn’t have their rents tripled because whitey from Ohio suddenly wants to move here.

You have your “free stuff” list, and I have mine.

the floor looks like it gives off toxic gas. This apartment is ugly and who wants to cook in their living room?

Are you “Chris Evans Stan” OP?

I'd rather live in Pasadena than Spring-- and Pasadena is an actual shithole.

R24 most of these new apartments have the kitchen connected to the living room

Ranch Hill Saloon, Spring, TX

What about The Room lounge?

R27 that may be so at this price point but it does not make this functional, clean, utilitarian apartment beautiful.

I looked on Hotpads - there are lot of very nice 1 bedrooms in Spring, TX for around $1000 - many much nicer than this.

Actually, Houston rentals are extremely CHEAP for a large city - even in nice areas like River Oaks.

But, it's Houston. Glad to know there is some affordable housing left in some large cities.

Houston is actually great. Have you been there in recent years? It’s nice and feels liberal compared to a lot of the rest of TX.

R32 - I can't reconcile living in a small blue bubble among a state of deplorables and politicians who would just assume kill me than have me as a fellow citizen.

Besides - nasty humidity, heat, hurricanes, flooding, ugly strip malls, lack of housing codes - plus citizens who think Texas should be praised as the highest form of civilization ever produced.

I can't stand the obnoxious and uninformed state pride Texans have.

48% of TX voted Blue. The state isn’t as deep red as some of you claim.

I've never been to Houston, but a friend of mine was travelling there regularly for business before COVID and he has been raving about it.

A.) It is hideous

B.) It is in Spring, TX

LOL. I grew up in Spring, Texas. It's a shitty, fucking, miserable place. It's Dan Crenshaw cuntry. It's about an hour or more, in traffic, from Houston. In the 80's, there was one gay bar but I have no idea if there's one now.

I went to college with Jim. I knew their high school drama teacher Rick Garcia. Bomer, Pace and Parsons went to school on the nicer side of the I-45, in Klein (or Klein Woods) which wasn't far from the misery of Spring.

Wasn’t that years ago r37?

I go there three times a year to visit family (well, not this year) and, if anything, it has gotten worse in many areas.

If you want to commute to live in an inexpensive area outside of Houston? Sure, go for it. But, the stretch of I-45 you have to travel down is a dystopian horror. Billboards, billboards, deserted car dealerships, apt. buildings with aluminum foil covering the windows...

There are quaint little shops in Old Town Spring but, no, nothing else to see beyond that.

Houston has gotten better. It’s actually been great.

Here is a different one but similar in Forth Worth
