In case you didn't read two blogs ago, I hate where I live. The neighborhood is sketchy, the place is small and overpriced. And there are very young and annoying neighbors. So, I've been apartment hunting for a couple weeks now. I went to see three places on Wednesday, and I've picked my favorite. It's a lot nicer than what I was expecting to get.
Right now, I live in a tiny studio apartment with a kitchen and bathroom and laundry down the hall. I get electricity, internet, water and cable included for 725 a month with parking fee. This new place is 2 bedrooms, 750 square feet, slightly smaller bathroom, small kitchen, huge living room, huge closets and a small back yard. It includes only water, but it's $450 a month. Add electricity and gas, that's an average of $577 a month. So, get a place about four times as big, in a much better neighborhood, that is closer to campus, and save 173 a month. I'm kinda thinking this place is a steal. I'm visiting again today and bringing a friend for a second pair of eyes. And if it feels right, I'm going to apply!
By the way, the other places I've looked at are smaller, farther away, and either more expensive or only 10 less a month. So, I really think this place is worth it. We will see though! Updates to come!
