Apartment hunting
    #5752877 -

Chode wants a balcony, I want big closets....


What's the most important thing to you when you are looking for a place to call home?

ooh, good one. Central air is key. I use cable net, so shouldn't that be available everywhere?

Probably, but not necessarily. Speed and availability can vary so if it's important to you I'd double-check with the landlord.

and a nice shower.

Of all the things to forget to check when I we picked our apartment, I never turned on the shower to see how the water pressure was.  Now my days begin in misery. :bored:

you can get a lowflow valve that will increase the pressure

I need to take the shower head off the pipe and remove the water restrictor to begin with.

Where does the lowflow valve get installed exactly?

Quiet. I am the lightest sleeper ever. If it's noisy, I can't live there. Also, safety, bug free, and nice.

I go with quietness and privacy.

I have a pretty large home theatre system, so basically I want it quiet when I need it to be, but also to rock the system when I want.  Thus, I've found carriage apartments to be ideal.  Right now, I live behind an older guy's mansion.  He converted the old carriage house into an apt./garage.  I have the whole thing with no neighbors.  All my problems solved.

What sucks is I'll be moving to a larger city soon.  THat'll prob. force me to live in a traditional apt. complex.  :frown:

Did you grow up in NYC, or just attend school there? I personally don't like big cities like NYC. Too much hustle and bustle for me, although there is a lot to do there.

I've lived here my whole life...I love the sirens and garbage truck noises the best.

Craziness. I stayed in NYC for 3 days, and slept for only a couple hours. The city noise drove me crazy :frown:

Lots of awesome stuff in the city though.

I'm the opposite.. I like crickets chirping and owls noises.

I guess it all depends on what you're used to.

The pub seems really slow today. On another note, I think I may be allergic to codeine. I feel itchy for some reason.
