Photo of the Day: A Blank Slate
Though I've only been living in New York City for a few months, I'm already thinking of moving again. The family I am staying with found an incredible piece of property for rent in a brand new building for a comparable price and is seriously considering taking it. The apartment is located in the same neighborhood, so very little would change in terms of commute or access. The church the family attends meets in the basement, and their pastor actually lives down the hall for added convenience. Some other definite perks: a balcony and central air conditioning! They were hesitant at first about bringing up the proposed move to me since I just settled in, but after seeing this place, I'm all for it! Let's just hope and pray now that they can successfully negotiate the asking rent down to their price range. I'm trying not to get my hopes too high, but as you can see below, it's quite an upgrade!

Agree, the place looks so much nicer and spacious than your current one. I hope the nego. goes through.
ReplyDeleteif you move to a bigger place, will your rent go up?
ReplyDeleteNo luck...we didn't get the place because they wouldn't budge on the price. :( Sad day.
