Not that you want my opinion but I'll give it anyway. First, MD Anderson has a great reputation. Cancer patients come from all over the country to be treated there. I spent alot of time there in my former profession and dealt with patient families and they all gave huge unsolicited compliments to the hospital even when things didn't turn out the way they hoped (which is when I saw them). Secondly, I've always lived in the suburbs of Houston, but in my experience, the nicest areas to live that are within 20 minutes of MD Anderson and the Texas Medical Center are going to be just to the west. Though there are some decent apartments (if that's what you're looking for) about 5 minutes away near Reliant Stadium. At least that's what comes to mind. Last, there are no shortage of restaurants in the area. It just depends what suits your palette.
