Good news! We found an apartment! Somewhat by chance, because I halfheartedly looked on Craigslist, saw one in the area, contacted the owners, met them and looked at the apartment, and got it! There are a couple of good and a couple of bad things, of course.
Pros:
- Facing south, corner apartment, which means tons of sun (when it’s sunny).
- Two bedrooms (which I have learned actually means three rooms), nice kitchen, washer & dryer in the apartment.
- Near bus lines.
- Parking spot.
- Fireplace….yes, A FUCKING FIREPLACE!
Cons:
- Carpet. Unfortunately, that seems to be a thing here.
- I have no idea what the previous tenants were like, but one thing they definitely were not is clean.
- Said tenants did one of the shittiest paint jobs I’ve seen in a long time. And had terrible taste in colors, too.
- It’s near pretty major artery, so it’s not exactly quiet. It’s not like living next to a freeway, but still.
I have painted all the walls white and cleaned the carpet and that really made a big difference. It’s nice to have our own place after all these years!
