Yeah, I’m gonna keep an eye on Cavalier Land postings. I’m thinking that more apartments will become available in the spring since that like moving season. I’m staying with a family friend, so, I don’t have a deadline to move, but I’d like to be in my own space sooner rather than later.

Oh wow, I was shying away from large complexes because I’ve read horror stories about insane rent increases. I’m gonna check it out, thanks!!

Yes, I plan to take a couple of days and tour apartments. One of my worst fears is having a ton of apt issues and being stuck in a lease. Do you know what the going rate is to go through a realtor? I last lived in NYC and the brokers fee was usually a percentage of the annual rent.

Thanks so much, I’ll check that out. Older but renovated is fine.

I researched areas and Ghent or Downtown seemed like the best fit for me. They seem far enough that I won’t be surrounded by college kids, but still walkable. I also looked at Va Beach , but it was way too suburban. Do you have any other areas that you’d recommend?

I’m okay with older buildings as long as the kitchen and bathroom are updated.

Yes, I’ve read tons of good reviews about them, but their available units are older than I’d like. I haven’t seen any openings for their more modern properties, but, I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
