The hunt continues

Yesterday, Reese and I checked out a couple more dwellings.

The first place was a well-priced apartment, in a prime location. In a word, the place was "quaint". It wasn't the bare-bones deal you'd find in lesser neighborhoods; not by a stretch. In the same regard, the place wasn't in the echelon of Parkside Estates either. It was a fine, mid-level, quality apartment. Actually, it reminded me of my very first apartment. Not too suave, not too rustic. Some things are nice about it. The washroom is huge, and all appliances are new. Other things aren't so nice. The bedrooms and living room were quite small.

While driving from those set of apartments, we came across an ad in a newspaper for a three bedroom house for rent in the Cecil/Bridgeville/Southpointe area. First off, I had no idea that such an area even existed. After all, I worked for a year in Cecil township installing residential waste systems. I know that town like the back of my hand. I was surprised. okay? The house is pretty big, well laid out and roomy. Its got a garage, an ideally sized yard, finished basement and a down-to-earth landlord. Its certainly the priciest of the structures we've looked at thus far. That didn't prevent us from filling out a rental application on the spot, though!

So now I'm toying with the idea of either living at Parkside Estates or this Cecil home. I know I want a house, but I don't want a house I can't afford. I'd rather not do the whole apartment thing again, if I can avoid it. However, the luxury that Parkside offers goes pretty much unmatched by these other places. We've got a few more to look at, hopefully by tonight. With any luck, we'll arrive at a well-thought-out, mutual decision shortly thereafter.
