Houston Area Real Estate: Are There Perks To Leasing?
Do those who rent know something about saving money that homebuyers don't?

HOUSTON, TX — Years ago, leasing was only an option for those who couldnt afford to buy a home, but times have changed and many Houstonians and residents outside of Houston are finding benefits to leasing.
Many renters who prefer apartments or condos find they can save money on monthly utility bills which are generally lower.
Plus, having a landlord look out for general maintenance issues can be a huge load off, too.

The same goes for lawn maintenance, but none of those so-called perks will likely apply if you rent a house.
Of course, whether you prefer a house, apartment or condo, you can find them all in any community in the Patch Real Estate Guide listed by our partners at realtor.com.
