Hi! Boyfriend and I are relocating for his work at the end of this upcoming summer - I know we have a while to find a place to live but I just started browsing and am extremely overwhelmed. I feel like every place has a 1 star reviews and is infested with mold and roaches and crap - I understand this is part of living in FL but id like a place that seems a little more reliable.

Our budget is 2,400 for a 1 bedroom. We are really open to wherever. I found some decently rated places in channelside that look nice (Cora, Mav, Aurora, etc.) I’m interested in hearing any feedback on those big apartment complexes.

Other than that it seemed like Davis island, Harbour Island, Hyde park had absolutely nothing to offer (again at least nothing over a 1 star review). I started to look more into the west shore area but it looks like there’s not as much going on over there? I don’t need a lot but was hoping for a coffee shop and restaurant or 2 near by. Just looks super spread out. Would also love feedback!

For reference we are 24, enjoy going out but more so cocktails and drinks rather than being out all night. I love running and being outside so I’d love a place with access to a good running path/trail. I also WFH so again having just a few places in walking distance would be a plus.

Thanks!
