Apartment Prospects

6 January, 2007

We've found a great neighborhood called Crow's Nest. It is very vibrant, with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs. Apartment hunting is a little tricky - the units are open for inspection for about 15 minutes on Saturdays, so we joined a crowd of about 15 couples, racing from apartment to apartment, frantically grabbing applications. I was feeling quite discouraged until I spoke to an agent who said she took ten applications for a unit and none of them were approved. I have no doubt that we will be able to qualify, especially if we offer a large cash deposit. It may take a little longer than we’d hoped to find a place, but I am excited about the area so don’t care to rush into a commitment elsewhere.
