Pros and Cons of Living in an Apartment...

Pros:
* If something were to happen to one of us there are alot of people around to help.

* since we live between two apartments and below another we haven't had to turn on our heat! :-) The heat from other apartment seeps into ours.

* We are lucky because everyone in our building in around our age.

* We have a campus police officer that lives in the building - so nobody parties too hard.

* If the appliances break (Like the fridge...) we don't have to pay for a new one. And Sears delivers! :-)

Cons:
* We don't hear anything from the apartments next to us but the upstairs neighbors are a different story.... we hear EVERYTHING! And one of the girls beds is extremely squeeky and we hear every single time she rolls over in bed. And her bed is directly above ours. And she has a boyfriend... who stays over quite often.... read between the lines. Not pleasent.

* The mail gets mixed up alot because our building has 1516 #1 #2 #3 and #4 and 1520 #1 #2 #3 and #4 so it gets mixed up.

*Limited Parking. When we moved in we were told we each got 2 parking spots per apartment. But there are 8 apartments so thats 16 spots and there are only like 10 spots.... so sometimes we have to park behind the building.


That's all I can think of. But so far I really like our apartment. I love the location its close to the downtown stores and it takes me only 10 minutes to get to work and only 10 minutes for Alex to get to school. The landlords are awesome and very friendly. And if there is ever a problem they are very quick to fix it. We haven't had any problems with our neighbors. We don't really know any of them but they all seem really friendly and nice.
