Grant’s direct answer
For many recent graduates, I begin with Heights at 1520 and Sync at Sawyer Heights in Lower Heights, then use Foundry on 19th as a Greater Heights comparison. Modera Waugh can test a Montrose high-rise lifestyle, The Bowen can represent River Oaks, and Parkside Residences can be added when Downtown high-rise living fits the budget and commute. This is a starting framework, not a universal list. Workplace, office frequency, unit type, total monthly budget, social priorities, management, access controls, flood considerations, and live availability should determine the final three-to-six-property route.
