Today started bright and early again. As I’m sure many of you know, apartment hunting isn’t all that great. The apartments are either too small, too far away, too expensive, too run down, and so on. I started my day off in Burbank where I visited an apartment complex that was located just north of the Disney Studios on Buena Vista Avenue. Pretty much a prime location – but at a premium price. $890 a month for a pretty small apartment that was in kind of a run down building. They had two vacancies, but for that price, they just weren’t worth it.
I actually found two apartments today that I thought I could live in. One is in a really nice area called Valley Village, which is just north of where K.C. lives. It is a junior 1 bedroom, which means that instead of a wall separating the living room from the bedroom, there is a railing and some vertical blinds that can be opened and closed. I really liked the place, espcially at only $750 per month, and actually submitted an application. The other apartment is in North Hollywood. It’s actually a pretty nice 1 bedroom apartment in a secure building, but the surrounding area is kind of shady. Lots of car repair shops, convenience stores and rough roads. But the apartment is pretty large and a steal at $725/month. The landlady already told me that I could move in if I wanted to, but we’ll see what happens with this junior one bedroom first.
