Over the last several days I have wondered how does the apartment that I rented measure up to the list of items that I set out for my perfect apartment. Since I have this handy blog I went back in cyber space and looked at the list that I gave several months ago. I have to admit I did pretty good...
Here is the original list:
Needs:
-pet friendly-two bedrooms-close to the interstate or a major highway
-walkin closets
-patio
-nice kitchen with lots of counter space and cabinets
-washer dryer or hookups
-lots of grass nearby
-fans in every room
-rent to be under 1100: hopefully that will include any of the extras water, trash, sewage, etc.
-large bedroom, with lots of space
Wants:-
Washer dryer in the unit
-first or second floor apartment
-separate dining space, not a whole room but a space for a table
-gym on the property worth using
-pool, preferably a saltwater pool
-separate storage space
-close to work
-a large garden tub
Bonus:
-dog park, I didn't even know you could get this
-Second bathroom
-built in storage, like shelves
-recycling, gotta be green-window seat
Things highlighted in red are items that I did not get in my new apartment. I highlighted two items in yellow because I kinda got them. The kitchen is nice sized but there aren't any lower cabinets, I am still working on addressing this with extra storage. The unit does not come with a fan in the living room (unless a previous tenant put one in and left it) but they will install one (I purchase) at not additional cost. The other items I didn't get were bonus items and in some ways that is why they are bonus. I do hope that they allow recycling soon because that is important.
Well I have to admit that I am getting very excited about this apartment, only 7 more weeks until move in day. I still have so much shopping to do.... AHHHHHH
