I Wanted to Move out to Find a Nicer Life

Growing up in my house was not easy. I had a dad that was gone most of the time, and a mother who had a lot of issues with alcohol. Both of these things affected me a lot, but by the time that I was 19 years old and you that I need to take matters in my own hand to save myself. I started looking for apartments in South Charlotte as soon as I could so that I could try to get away from the disfunction going on in my home. Around the age of 18, I realize that if I stayed living with my parents much longer, I was going to learn to be like them. That is not the way that I wanted to spend the rest of my life.

I think that my parents were relieved when I told that I meant that I was going to look for my own place. One of the things that really helped, is that my father said that he would help me with my first year’s rent. Continue reading

I Am So Glad I Moved

If you would have told me that I would be looking at luxury apartments in Washington DC even a few years ago, I would have laughed and told you to quit making jokes. I was content as a stay at home mom taking care of my last boy before he went off to graduate school. Once he left, life took on a very new meaning to me. I was bored, and I decided to fix that. I had always loved visiting DC, and three of my four children live close to there.

I figured it would be the perfect place to move to, and hopefully that would entice my youngest son to move there too once he was done with school. I picked DC for other reasons too, because I did not want to be the kind of woman who interjected herself into every facet of their grandkids and children’s lives. Continue reading

I Got a Job in a Casino

Of course I never really thought about how sophisticated these guys are when it comes to trying to catch people who want to cheat them. However if you think about it, then it is obvious. The casinos have piles and piles of money, people would like to take it from them and not all of them want to do it honestly. At any rate my job is to manage the cameras, although some of the people here do not do the job with cameras. These two guys at work have apartments for rent in Summerlin in Las Vegas or I mean that the two of them want a third roommate to share this place with them. Continue reading

I’m Living the Dream in Florida

When I graduated from college and started looking for apartments for rent in North Bay Village, thanks to getting hired at a local accounting firm, I knew immediately that I would be living the dream. I couldn’t imagine myself living in Florida right of school with a great job. While many of my friends couldn’t find work or returned to work in cold northern states, I was moving to the sunshine state to start a career in my dream field. Surely it couldn’t get any better. But it did when I found the perfect apartment to move into.

Picking an apartment anywhere in Florida is a challenge. Not because it’s difficult to find a place. Most people seem to live in apartments down here so there are plenty of choices. Continue reading

Looking for Apartments with Promotional Deals

I decided that when my current lease expired that I would look for new place to live. I’m somewhat happy in my current apartment, but I’ve really begun to outgrow it. Now that my family is larger than when I first moved in, I really could use an extra bedroom. I’ve been looking for apartments for rent in Colorado Springs. They have a great school system, and now that my kids are old enough to go to school, I should start thinking about these things. In addition to great schools, this area also has nice neighborhoods where I can imagine myself living.

One of the apartments I’m considering is having a move in special, which is really appealing to me. Whenever I can save a little bit of money, I like to learn more about how I can do that. This apartment is offering the first month of rent for free, which sounds like a great deal. Continue reading

My Wife is the One Who Woke Me Up to Something Very Important

My spouse told me the best place for us to live would be in some Atlanta luxury apartments because that would allow us to live in the type of surroundings we have been used to, and we could then take our sweet time about looking for a home about a year or so later. I thought this was a fantastic idea. This made a lot more sense instead of racing there, then rushing to find a good place and not being happy with it over the long run. My wife is pretty smart about these things, so I also listen to her, and give her free rein to do a lot of things for us the way she wants to things.

I would say that I was pretty immature when I met my wife. Continue reading

I Had a Plan for My Residence and a Job

It took me awhile to get hired on with a really good company in the area where I wanted to live. I had been scoping out apartments for rent in 30339 and I really liked the area. Sure, I could have chosen some other area, but I wanted to be near most of my family and friends. I wanted to be near the businesses that I typically frequent and have for years. And I figured it would be best to see if I could find a company in that same area that I could work at. I knew that it might be a long shot, but it never hurts to try. I knew that if I didnt find something in that exact area, I could find something close.

I do not like long commutes to and from work. When I grew up, both of my parents had to work in a city that was 3 cities away from our home. Continue reading

Getting Married and Getting a New Apartment

I am not picky when it comes to most things. If my boyfriend wants to take me out to eat, I’ll go anywhere. If a friend wants to see a movie, I’ll see one that just looks okay to me. However, when it came to finding my next apartment, I think I was the pickiest I have ever been in my entire life. I did not want to settle for something since I would be spending the majority of my non work time there. I did a search for apartments in Marietta to find out which apartments in my area were even accepting applicants.

Even with the really nice apartments, I know turnover is pretty common because people move on. Continue reading

Our First Apartment Together is Fantastic

When I started dating my boyfriend nearly ten months ago, I knew he was the one on our third date. He said all the right things and made me feel like I was the only thing that mattered, and he just gave me butterflies that still have not gone away. I suspected he felt the same way, and I knew that he did when he got down on one knee a few weeks ago to ask me to become his wife. Most girls want to plan their weddings at that moment, but I wanted to find the perfect apt for the two of us to share as soon as we said our I do’s. Continue reading

We Have a San Antonio Apartment That Accepts Us and Our Dog

I was grumbling pretty much non-stop when we looked at our budget and saw that we could not swing owning our own home yet. We do not just jump into things. We were tapped out on what we could do with overtime, and our lease at our apartment was up. There was no way we were renewing it. We were wanting to move to one of the Alamo Heights apartments in San Antonio instead. I was not in the mood to be impressed since we were not going to realize our home ownership dream yet. However, I could not help it once we checked out the new apartments in person.

Pictures give you an idea, but then you have to visit to see and feel what a place is like. Having a friendly greeting from our new neighbors before we signed the lease was a real plus. I am kind of reserved about people, and I liked the people my wife and I met right away. The person showing us the apartment was really nice too. Continue reading
