I need to find an apartment.
UGH! My lease is up in August, but I need to start the search now. You see so many duds before you find THEE ONE! I'm deeply in love with my current apartment, but without a roommate, it would run me 1650 bucks!(I will do an apartment tour later)
I saw an apartment today on my old old block.(I will explain in another post) Its a 1 bedroom/1 bath floor through apt. in a brownstone. The only other people that live there are the owner,her husband and daughter. So here are the pros and cons. ::sigh::
PROS:
- nice neighborhood
- floor-through apartment
- only $900
- can totally HGTV the place (paint,change fixtures, etc.)
- original brownstone detail
- only tenant in the building
- high ceilings
- nice light
- a couple blocks from the Express
- across from one of my fave restaurants, Solomon's Porch
- pet friendly
CONS
- old appliances
- walls need work
- missing drawer in the kitchen
- doors need to be replaced
Check out the pics
Keep looking... Nesh

ReplyDeleteHey ... the price, size and the fact that you can upgrade makes it a good choice. This is Brooklyn ... pristine apartments are one in a million and mostly expensive ... and best of all you will still be close to me ... I sayor it before someone else does or ago f t least keep it on the list and look at a few one just to satisfy that feeling of not choosing the first apartment you saw thing

Anse, my mom is coming Tuesday to look at it...I was just shocked at how they looked at me crazy when I asked about renovations. My mom said I should negotiate the rent if I renovate the place myself.
