Lady and I have started Apartment Search Part III. We're moving in together [again] when our leases expire at the end of August. We looked at three two-bedrooms over on Pine/16th Sts. yesterday which were all very nice. And no, we're not sleeping in separate rooms, we're going to use the extra room most likely as an office/studio space to share between the both of us. Lady for her schoolwork [she starts grad school at Temple in the Fall and me for working on my photos without distractions.
I'm gonna have to figure out a nice spot to place the wireless router once we pick a spot and get all settled in. Ideally, I'd like to upgrade to WiFi-G and maybe get a repeater and stick it in a hallway between the bedroom[s] and living room areas if we get a big enough place.
We're looking at another place today over on Lombard/9th Sts and on Monday two more over at Pine/13th and Spruce/10th. I'm sure we'll be looking at plenty more in the very near future.
Anyone moving out of a really cheap place [big 1BR or 2BR] in Center City at the end of August?
How cheap are you talking about?

Yow, good luck with that. Coeruleus and I got fed up with our cracker box and started looking for a new place. In the end we just gave up. Nothing was nice enough to actually work up the energy to move. Granted, we are picky, but I think that is just the way it goes in Philly.

Hey Anita-
Nice to meet you at DL last week. Well, right now, we're living in separate apartments and really want to save money by living together so we'll end up moving, we gotta. I hate moving. I hate packing. I hate unpacking. But the thought of more space and paying less is what drives me/us.

When I was looking for apartment in Los Angeles few months ago (i've got a job there), I couldn’t even think about difficulties which were waiting for me. I checked ads, went to agencies which offered houses, but nothing was as useful as apartment for rent site. First of all, I concentrated to my needs (considered the area I would like to live, made a list of my top housing priorities, considered amenities and etc. ), created my own note-taking system and allowed my self time. I could eliminate apartments which didn’t meet my needs. I saved time and money. I found good and affordable apartment and I’m very satisfied with my new home.
