Apartment #1

We saw our first apartment option.

Here's the Details:

Money Details:
  • Base Rent $725 (Must pay an extra $15 for first floor and waste water is set at $35 a month)
  • Garage is an extra $50 with no opener
  • Super picky about Credit, rental history and time at job
  • $45 Application fee per adult
  • $50 Administrative fee due at move in
  • $99 to $725 Deposit dependent on credit
Apartment Details:
  • 2 Bedrooms
  • 2 Full Baths
  • 1,125 SQ Feet
  • Fully Equipped Kitchen with Frost free refrigerator, dishwasher, electric self cleaning oven, and built in Microwave oven
  • Ceiling Fans
  • Huge Walk-in Closets in both bedrooms
  • Private Patio or Balcony of Living room
  • Washer and Dryer Connection in a rather large laundry room
  • Chandelier in Dining Room
  • Coat Closet in Front Hall
  • Looks Nice
  • 1 Car Garage Rental
  • No Stairs for First Floor Places
Complex Details:
  • NICE GYM!
  • Large Pool with huge Sun Deck
  • Tanning Bed
  • Tennis Court
  • Full Basketball Court
  • Sand Volleyball Court
  • Recreational Room
  • 24 Hour laundry on-site
  • Clubhouse with Sitting Room with Fireplace and Wide Screen Television
  • Indoor Racquetball Courts
  • Picnic Area
  • Playground
  • Convenient
  • In Elementary School District
  • Possibly in Middle School District (They were not sure because lines just changed. Waiting to hear back from the school.)
The full rent will be $825. If it is in the middle school district then it has all the must haves. On the Wants list it has 3-5, 7, 9, 11-18, 20, 23, and 25. Kind-of's 8, 19, 6. It had issue about 5 years ago when a lady was stabbed in her apartment but they haven't had any problems since. The guy was caught.
Doesn't have 10, 21, 22 and 24. Not being walking friendly is the only one of these that really bothers me.

This place is still in the running. Over-all we liked it. The bedrooms were good sized, closets were huge, and the gym was great! My only concern is how picky they are about credit. I do not have much credit. My husband has credit from buying our car. I never wanted to hamper myself with credit cards that I did not really need. His credit is good enough but I do not know if mine is. We both have to meet the guide lines or we have to put down a full month of rent and here's the kicker, have a co-signer! I have been a renter for 10 years and I have never encountered this.

There's the Pros and Con's of apartment #1. On to #2!
