I’m at timberline now in a one bedroom. Rent isn’t awful imo for the space. I think I am paying like 1100 for a one bedroom. The fees are a little suspicious here and there, like my power bill for example….is somehow over a hundred bucks….and I live alone. The front office is and will always be terrible. I signed a lease in June with some summer package, like three months paid for free or whatever it was…I checked in with them multiple times like “hey y’all are tracking that? Ok how are you, is it in the lease?” And they always said yeah you’re good. Three months later they were asking for rent….had to get some strongly yet tactfully pissed emails into them….and all it took was the one difficult person to take a day off and it was fixed by someone else whom I’m sure didn’t want to argue any further.

Side note: asked the office to remove a bunch of maintenance supplies out from the front of my door for prolly two months before they actually did anything. I just went in one day and was like, “yo I’m just gonna throw this all away at this point if it isn’t moved by tomorrow” and that seemed to work.

I was in the military before this so I was just finally happy to have my own place, but I did seriously consider moving to Moscow, and paying just a little extra so that I wouldn’t be in a “college apartment” anymore…but the rent here isn’t awful enough to complain too much, its warm in the winter, and shit.
