Need help making a decision!
Hi everyone! So I’ve been apartment hunting for 2 weeks now and I really need someone to give it to me straight. I got a job in Century City, and found a studio apartment in mid Wilshire. It’s cheaper than the usual market price ($1600) but it comes with some drawbacks. I’d have to install my own window unit AC (although it was pretty cool when I walked in so a fan might be enough for peak summer?) buy a microwave myself, and worst of all, it’s street parking only, which would usually be a dealbreaker but my friend checked it out during the night and she was easily able to find parking though. There seems to be ample space down the road and around and the residents themselves said they didn’t have much of a problem finding any. It still makes me a little nervous though because I won’t know how it is until I live there. As for the pros! It’s max 25 minutes from my office during peak traffic, 500 sq ft, includes laundry/trash/water, gated, and honestly pretty cute! I really like the storage, layout and location, what if I can find something better??? What do you guys think! Should I hold out longer, or is this a solid deal with some easy fixes? Thank you so much!
