SECOND: FINDING WHAT YOU WANT!
Here are tips to help you find the right apartment:
1. Know what you want. Before you venture out there to look at apartments, take the time to decide on what you want in an apartment. Ask yourself questions such as:
How many bedrooms and bathrooms do I need?
How much closet space do I need?
How important is size?
How important is location?
Are any features -- such as a good view, crown moulding, an updated kitchen, or built-in shelves -- important?
Will I need a place to park a car, or a building where people who visit me can easily park their cars? Will I need to keep a bike in the building?
What amenities are important to me? Do I need a doorman, laundry in the building or on the floor, or a fitness center?
As you ask yourself these questions, decide what your limits are. For example, if you need to live within walking distance of where you work or go to school, look at a map or actually take a walk around the area so
you can decide just how far away you'll look.
Once you're set on exactly what you're looking for in an apartment, go hunting while keeping all your criteria in mind. Don't waste time checking out listings for apartments that won't fit the bill.
2. Stay organized and take good notes. Once you start to see more than a few apartments, it's easy to get them confused. Stay organized by taking good notes about your apartment hunting efforts. For example,
make a chart (by hand or on your computer) that lists the following:
an apartment's address;
the broker, owner, or tenant and their contact information;
the number of bedrooms and bathrooms;
the pros and cons;
any promises that were made; and
additional notes.
Use an accordion file to hold any brochures, advertisements, floorplans, listings, photos, or other printed material you have.
3.Save Time by Searching Multiple Apartment Web Sites at Once
There are many great websites out there that let you search for apartments that match your criteria. Whether you're looking for a one-bedroom apartment with a swimming pool in an Atlanta suburb or a two-bedroom
furnished apartment in a building with a fitness center and doorman in Chicago, the Web can help you find it.
Although you might have a favorite apartment search site, you're limiting your options if you stick to using just one site. Checking at least a few sites regularly for new listings is the best way to maximize your chances
of finding the perfect apartment for you. Searching multiple sites can be a drag if you have to visit each site and enter your search criteria each time.
