Hi everybody! We just moved to Houston and I'm trying hard to get things settled. One of them is to find a place where I can get my bed linen pressed. I asked around and no one has a clue. At the dry cleaning they offer, well, dry cleaning and it's expensive. Please guide me! Thanx! PS We live at the West U, so I would prefer the service nerby us.

Hi everyone! We just moved to Houston and among many other things to sort out is cable tv. Our friends suggested TimeWarner but its seems expensive for us taking in consideration that: 1) we don't watch much tv and don't need 80 channels 2) also don't need home phone, although we need internet 3) what we do need is BBC world, BBS prime, DW and may be one Russian channel (for me, when I feel nostalgic ) Any suggestions what would be a good solution for us? I was thinking about sattelite dish but I have no idea how it works, how we pay etc. Please help! Thanx for replies!

Hi everyone! Hope you have a great sunny Sunday in Houston like we have it in Paris today. My dear husband found an appartment for us at The Village and he loves it. It's within our price range, its big, but location is not exactly what I wanted/planned. Did anyone lived at that condo? or in that area (77005, West University)? Was it good? Is it safe? How would you describe the neighbourhood in general? This condo was built in 1999 (6 years old). Would you consider it new or is it the time when things start breaking? Any oppinions and replies are very appreciated! Thanx!

Actually company my husband works for is gonna provide us a real estate advisor. I just prefer to do my homework before we start looking around so I would have an idea what we need. And in case this advisor has an attitude like "offer them something and get rid of them as soon as possible" I could rely on myself armed with information .

Thanx for guidelines and oppinions! I have posted the same message under "Real estate" forum, so there are some replies there as well. I liked gables.com, didn't come across that place before.

Thanx for replies and for links! It's important for us to stay in Midtown because it's close to the driveway (don't know exactly which one) that brings my husband to Greenway Plaza, he says it will save a lot of time on commuting. Another reason is that I can't drive ( ) and it will take a while before I learn. To stay sane with two kids I just MUST go out for a walk (to the park or do some small grosseries). As far as I understand Midtown gives this opportunity and in other parts of Houston there is just no place to walk. Prices for electricity are scaring! Otherwise I'm full of optimism. I'm sure we will find something nice.

Hello everyone! Our family is moving to Houston soon, for at least 2 years. We plan to rent 2 bedroom townhose/condo at the Midtown area. Our budget is $1000
