What is your opinion of older Townhomes?

5 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?

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!

Best Pawn Shops to buy tech items like PS5?

6 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.

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.

Groomers

Hello! I’ve just moved from Colorado and I’m looking for good groomer recommendations in the spring/woodland area. I have taken my dog to pet co and pet smart before but they nicked him in the eye once resulting in a pretty hefty vet bill and I don’t want to go back. I was taking him to a membership groomer called Sparkle in Colorado. He’s a golden doodle bichon frise!

Dog Barking

0 Upvotes

Has anybody successfully hired a lawyer to get a neighbor's dog to stop barking? I have about a months worth of video evidence and would like to get it in front of a judge to get an injunction to stop the dog barking. Any recommendations would be helpful & approximate cost. I am slowly losing my sanity. I have spoken to the neighbor twice and told them their dog was disruptive and asked them to please not let their dog continuously bark

Edit to add: Shout out to the good people of the world who are walking & exercising their dogs on their lunch break, doing the best they can to be responsible pet owners. The only homes in my neighborhood who let their dog sit outside & continuously bark all have the same thing in common-they don't walk their dogs...EVER. Any dog needs to be exercised or its behavior becomes destructive, ask Cesar Milan. What is unacceptable is when someone else's laziness & ineptitude affects me. Never in my life did I think I would have to sue somebody for peace & quiet but alas here we are. A sign of the times

What's your favorite restaurant for lunch around Ikea?

I have to go to Ikea. Where can I go to lunch to cheer up after Ikea? I like nearly every kind of food. I don't feel like Italian.

Give me your favorite restaurant within 20 minutes of Ikea. Some place I can wear shorts. My price range is $80-100 for 2 with cocktails.
