As many of you know my new job has been a huge adjustment for several reasons the main one being my commute. I am from a decently small city, where you could basically get anywhere in about thirty minutes so I'm not used to heavy traffic or commutes. When I got this job I didnt think the drive would be too bad, of course I interviewed in the middle of the day when no one was on the road. I quickly learned I needed to give myself between forty-five minutes to an hour each day for the drive in the morning and it easily took an hour to get home each evening. Oh and did I mention that I have to be at work at 7:00? Yes you did that math right that means I'm leaving the house at about 6:10 every morning Naturally this driving and traffic has not been working for me so it is now time to move a little closer to the office. Plus the extra sleep in the morning will make all the difference.
So since this weekend was the first free one in awhile we decided it was a good opportunity to go look at a couple places in the area we were considering to see if there was anything we liked. On Saturday we went and looked at four places and we very happy with what we saw. We looked at all apartments this weekend but will also consider rental houses in the area if there is something available. After looking at each of the places we sat down and wrote out what we liked and didn't like about each place. We quickly realized that the first one we looked at was our favorite.
One of the biggest selling points... this kitchen. What is not to love here? The apartment was brand new and the unit we would rent has had no previous tenants, which would mean we would be the first to live in it, a large plus for apartment living. It also had hard wood floors, big rooms and big closets.I quickly noticed that the places I liked the most tended to
have a few things in common.
1.
A modern look
2.
Nice kitchen
3.
Big bath tub and plenty of bathroom storage
4.
Hardwood floors in the living room
5.
Apartment doors inside the building instead of
outside (more secure)
A fireplace would also be nice but most places didn’t have
them. Also I’ve had one at my last two apartments and never used them so I’m
sure that pattern would continue. Overall the hunting process was a fun one and
got me very excited to move after seeing the great options and was a big fan of
the area as well. Fingers crossed we can make this happen very soon!
Happy Monday!
