I'm not sure what I'm looking for at all. If I'd be honest with myself, I'd say that the idea of living in an apartment complex is scary. I really don't want to be annoyed by loud music, fights and I don't want to be the one who's doing the annoying because of the dog. I saw dog (singular) because I'm hoping that my brother will have Annie with him in his truck, at least for a while. Renting an entire house is an option but it's always more money and the leases tend to be at least a year. A lease that long scares me. I think a 6 mos. lease is reasonable and I'd even pay more for the ability to make like a tree and go. A big 2 bedroom place would be nice if only for the pets and my 10,000 boxes of stuff. I had a 2 bedroom apt when I lived in St. Louis and I never used one of the bedrooms.
Living in a not-so-nice neighborhood should be cheaper and doesn't scare me because those are the kind of places I've been since I've been in Cleveland. I might hang out in places like Rocky River but I have to live on Bridge Ave in the heart of the Puerto Rican hood. Que lastima. I also know that I'd feel really out of place if I lived somewhere swanky. Besides, it's not like I'm rolling in jack.
I've noticed that a lot of apartments don't list air conditioning as one of their amenities. Is that because no sane person would ever live sans A/C in Dallas? It doesn't really matter, you know?
