Some part of the neurosis that I was born with drives me to check up on this apartment that I’ve put money down on already… pretty much on a daily basis. I just want to make sure it’s still listed as “pending,” or that the square footage hasn’t changed or that some other unreasonable, paranoid, completely made up situation doesn’t occur.
Interestingly enough, today I checked in on the listing and saw that another apartment in the same creepy mansion is up for grabs. Well, rather… was up for grabs. Apparently apartments in this neck of the woods don’t stick around for very long because people are dying to move here (weird).
At first I was a little miffed, I must admit. I saw the pictures before anything else and it looked like the kitchen had just gotten a really nice remodel and there was a bay window, both things that my place is lacking, and all of this was 25 bucks cheaper than what I snagged my future home for! After I actually calmed down and read the description I realized that it was just a studio apartment and I must be the one who lucked out with a one bedroom for only 25 dollars more. Of course, the floor plan wasn’t posted and neither was the square footage, so for all I know this “studio” apartment could be 1,000 square feet and have a fire place and a live-in maid.
I guess we will find out when I move in though, my new neighbors actually get to move in a month before me… which I find sort of strange, but it’s just the luck of the draw I suppose.
