TIP OF THE WEEK

First Apartment — You’re Ready for Your First Apartment, but Where to Begin?

You probably want to be in an area that is close to your work, or college, or maybe even mass transportation if you do not own a car. And while budget is always a consideration, you do not want to sacrifice your safety to save a little money. So use your resources to make the best and most informed decision: Internet, Inquisition and Instinct.

• Internet — Use websites such as www.bestplaces.net to search different areas for statistics and data on climate, employment rates, culture, household income, crime rates, and so forth; any of these factors could affect your satisfaction with a neighborhood.
• Inquisition — Talk to friends and relatives who may have visited the area or know someone who lives or has lived there.
• Instinct — Trust your gut. If you do not like what you hear or see, do not move there. Remember leases typically run for one year, and they are legally binding – meaning if you do not like your apartment or the neighborhood after two months, tough. Visit websites that provide ratings and testimonials from former and current tenants regarding cleanliness, maintenance, and security.
