Houston apartment: safe and reasonably priced

Hi guys,
I am looking for an apartment in Houston that is near the Med Center or Galleria area, that is affordable and safe. I want something that is 500-525 a month, with some bills paid, ie lights. Where I live now is very expensive and my lease is up at the end of this month. I love my area now and I am comfortable here, but I am not working so I have to leave. I don't have a roommate option, so that is out of the question. If anyone has any ideas please pass them on. I am up to my neck in books so I don't have a lot of time to look for a place. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

At the price you are stating, it will be difficult to find one with lights paid ,but if it is a one bedroom without lights paid that is a good price range to have. Haveyou tried those little free apartment books that are usually found in Kroger or randalls they will give you alot of choices. I hope this helps
