Awesome thanks! We've been feeling lost, and we haven't had any free weekends to travel up there and visit. Hopefully we'll have some opportunities to travel up there over Christmas break. So are those areas pretty safe? That's my only concern about living downtown...

My fiance is a petroleum engineer looking for a job in the Houston area, but we're from Austin and don't really know much about Houston. Basically I need a 1 bedroom under $850. A duplex/townhouse/something with a backyard would be cool for the dog, but she lives in an apartment now so that would be fine too. The most important thing is safety, and of course the budget. Any suggestions of areas to look?
