Yet More Apartment Hunting
Uggh…when will it end. Due to an unwillingness on our part to sign a lease without seeing the apartment again, it looks like the keeper We reported last month may be on shaky ground. C’est la vie. Recent trips to Craig’s List have yielded several promising apartments near Back Cove.
We’re headed up again this weekend to (hopefully) sign a lease on a place. We’re bringing Her sister for an extra opinion. I’m hoping to get at least four showings lined up between now and Friday. There is a nice development in South Portland that could be worth checking out. It’s extremely close to the airport though, so that is certainly a strike against it before we even get there. However, we live in the flight path of the Albany Airport now, so it might not be that big a sacrifice. We’ll have to see. I’m not sure on the heating in that place–if it’s electric again, I think we’ll avoid it.
All in all, things are coming together. The situation with the apartment from the first trip is disappointing, but we’re excited to see so many places with potential listed now. I guess maybe it was too much to hope for to find the right place two-plus months in advance. We’re closing in on a month to go now, and things are looking up. I can’t wait. I counted today–only 23 working days left.
