We checked out our first apartment today. It isn't too bad of a place, super tiny but my parents said we can store some of our stuff here at the house since it is a super small place. We are still keeping our options open but it is in a nice neighborhood, we won't feel like we are poor since everyone else is too. ;) Pretty much the size is the only con on the list. We get free Wi-Fi, water is included in the rent and gas and power are usually like $70 a month year round, but we are pretty much budgeting the full $100. It has a small stack able washer dryer combo.
This is really hard, trying to find a place that sings to you and will keep you in your budget. It does keep me farther from work than what I would have liked but it's freeway driving so that's not all that bad. Okay that's another con on the list, it's closer to Chris' work but farther from mine. Course I work on the other side of the valley so unless we lived outside of our price range would it make me closer to work. But we are still looking.
Thank you for reading

Free Wifi is a good deal--that's like 30-40 bucks a month. And having water/sewer too is a bonus. And I can't even begin to tell you what having a washer and dryer in your apartment will do for your sanity.
ReplyDeleteThat pretty much was part of the deciding factor.
