How come you moved out of your old joint if I might ask? Rent went up too high?
The place I've been in the past 3 years is annoying to park into and very barely fits a small SUV. Parking spots are generally gonna be pretty ordinary with apartments...
Yep, it's 2k/mo for a 1bed. Now we're 2k/mo in a 2bed plus a living room itself that's bigger than the old place whole. And also so my wife's parents can visit.
Yeah, that would definitely be worth moving for, although the switchboard situation doesnt sound great. For 2k/month I'd definitely be expecting a 2 bed. Same location?
Unfortunately not, but it's not too far from the old place.
Fair enough, these days you do need to move a bit further out to get a decent deal. I know someone who bought a rather shabby 2br w/ parking in Carlton and rents it out for 550/week. Prices are nuts...
And then there's that balcony in Sydney for 300/week lol.
God I'm glad I don't need to deal with that. As nice as the weather is...
