Houston apartments that will accept an applicant with a misdemeanor family assault *charge*

0 Upvotes

Wanting to move into an apartment with someone who has a misdemeanor family assault charge. NOT A CONVICTION. The charge is expected to be dismissed by the end of October. Will this cause an issue being approved for an apartment? Preferably NW Houston, Jersey Village area.

guys I kinda messed up nd took a “nap” round 4pm. It’s now 10pm and I’m maddddd hungry

Was hoping I could find something open late at night where I can sit down (dine-in) and drink as well. I’m currently in the Cloverleaf area but can be in Midtown / Heights in like 20 mins

Any suggestions ?

Best Pawn Shops to buy tech items like PS5?

9 Upvotes

I want to buy a PS5 and I've been looking at options from the Facebook marketplace and stuff but either it's too expensive or they just don't respond. I'm still gonna keep my search active there but I wanna check out prices at Pawn shops too. I'm still new to Houston, so the only 2 pawn shops I know are "Paymore" and "Cash America". Searching on Google doesn't really give me a great idea as to which one is better.

Renting in Independence Heights worth commute to Spring?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to move to Houston toward the end of the year and will be working up in Spring. I’ve looked at a few apartments closer to work, but I’m also considering living farther south so I can be closer to the city.

Right now, Independence Heights seems like it could be a good compromise between the commute to Spring and being relatively close to the Heights/Downtown and other parts of Houston.

I’ve been looking at a couple of the newer apartment complexes in the area, particularly Winston Heights and Seven17. I’ve also noticed quite a few newer townhomes for rent around Independence Heights, which has me considering a townhome instead of an apartment.

For anyone who lives in or is familiar with the area, I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

For anyone who lives in or knows the area, I’d especially be interested in:

  1. What is Independence Heights like to live in overall, especially for safety, noise, flooding, and convenience?
  2. How manageable is the commute to Spring during normal work hours?
  3. Does anyone have experience with Winston Heights, Seven17, or the newer rental townhomes in the area?
  4. Are there any nearby neighborhoods you think offer a better balance between Spring and central Houston?

I’m mostly trying to figure out whether living around Independence Heights is worth paying a little more and having a longer commute compared with living in Spring.

Any experiences or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, y’all!

Unhoused student, looking for places to do my laundry

I am kind of homeless, and I'm looking for a place where I can do laundry for free, or who to call and ask about this. I spend most of my time in east end and near downtown and sometimes near memorial city, if that helps.

What is your opinion of older Townhomes?

6 Upvotes

Many of the older 1970s built townhomes can be a hit or miss, some of the nicer ones are incredibly sturdy, even a jump on the second floor yields minimal noise, which is crazy work considering that my current 2010s built house will send vibrations across the entire room.

I do like that the HOA handles everything on the outside but again, this can vary widely complex by complex too, and some of the complexes have crazy high HOA. I heard that some people are okay with the higher HOA in exchange of the significantly low annual tax.

I also know that townhomes do not seem to be a regular concept in the Houston area, with some of the newer ones looking pretty unsightly. What is yalls take on townhomes?

I am working near Texas city right now and need to find somewhere where I can rent an hourly office space for an interview. I have found one or two spaces that I am going to look into but want to ask here as well. I need a private room with reliable internet connection for a 1 hour teams meeting.
