you've never looked sweeter, my dear
Mar. 19th, 2025 09:30 amYesterday, Erica and I went to check out an apartment building I am pretty hyped about. It’s an 11 story building on the chip of downtown Raleigh with a grocery store (Publix) on floor one. Unfortunately this visit left me with more questions than answers which does not bode well in regards to my moving there. The building is just over four years old and was recently sold from a Raleigh big deal developer toa nationwide apartment chain. The first strike against the building, even those shown on the website, the rooftop bar/dining area does not actually exist. The leasing agent tried to explain to me how it was an issue of cutting and pasting the wrong information from a different property website while constructing a new one. I stopped listening pretty quickly because that was just lip service. He said that other people had mentioned the same thing to him recently. Here’s a crazy idea. If other people have pointed out a mistake this big howzabout this? FIXIT !! Pretty simple.
We checked out three or four apartments and the gym area. The apartments all looked nice. I had my eyes on a 10th floor one bedroom. Another of the drawbacks is the studios/one bedrooms only have one set of windows and they overlook the courtyard/pool. Part of the reason I wanted the ninth floor apartment was the view of the city. None of the four sides would present a breathtaking view but there would still be streets and lights and cars driving past in the night. That would be good enough for me. But instead, I’d be overlooking the pool. I am a fan of large breasted big haired bubble headed sun worshippers I would honestly rather have the view of the highway.
Strike three was the reason we could afford living here to begin with. Two months free rent on 12 month lease. That would knock down over $200. With that in mind we could afford up to the $1580 deluxe one-bedrooms. Living like a king would kick ass like 12 months but then they would want to go to the regular rental rate and I don’t think that’s in the cards.
I left the building 51-49% against moving there. I am fickle enough a good argument could sway me in either direction. Right now I don’t have any better arguments though. I’m going to spend some time online today and see if I can find something else in the price range. It’s doubtful you’ll find another place at that price in that area.
