Adventures in Apartment Hunting

Now that I’ve got a job, it’s time to get an apartment. I hadn’t thought that finding one would be as much of a pain in the ass as finding a job had been, but it’s still in the running.

I did find a place about 20-30 minutes from work. It’s a two-bedroom apartment with an enclosed front porch, combined kitchen/dining room, laundry room with washer/dryer hookup, one and a half crappers and some storage on the second floor.

The rent is $700/month, which is fifty bucks more than I was paying for a one bedroom/one crapper apartment in Waterbury, CT. It’s right off a main road, so getting to work is straightforward.

Catherine and I are going to check the place out tomorrow. I hope it’s right for us; I want my own place.
