A guide to finding your perfect apartment

Dear millennial girl, if this is your first rodeo I got you… if this isn’t your first rodeo I also got you!

Today we are talking about what to look for in your new apartment.

We all want luxury for affordable prices, but when I say you have to research the area, facility and everything make sure you do your research.

When looking for an apartment you should make sure there is :

• parking

•ceiling fans

• walk in closest

• nice size bedroom/ bathroom

So think about your non-negotiables, which means what you want to have in your apartment, what you want to pay, and how close you are to restaurants, shopping centers, and grocery stores.

A couple of questions you should ask your apartment place is:

What different ways can you pay your rent?

How quickly does maintenance come?

What animals or around here or rodents?

Where do you take your trash, mail, and other necessities?

If security is important to you, make sure you find a place where they have a gate, police officers, or security guards.

Things to check in your apartment, if the stove is gas or electric, windows (big or small), floor plans, and floor levels.

Ask them to show you what is available now because sometimes they show you sold apartments then when you move in it be looking differently

So when do you plan on getting your first apartment? Do you have a budget now, have you started searching yet? Next week we will talk about finding a roommate.
