Houston Area Leasing Options: The Best Areas To Rent

HOUSTON, TX — When it's time for a change of scenery, there are a whole lot of reasons you could be looking for a new place, and all too often it boils down to one word: Location.

Your location can matter for any number of reasons, such as having your kids in a quality school district, being close to parks or shopping, and the time it takes to commute each day to and from work.

But there are other reasons people may prefer leasing over buying and those who shun home ownership cite things like:

• Lower utilities
• Maintenance
• Lawn care
• No Taxes and HOA's
