Found an apartment
Well I went out today with my broker with not so high hopes. Even though I decided to look in Jersey my price point was still limited. There were two apartments that I really liked, one in Hoboken and one in Jersey City. The one in Hoboken was what they call a "junior one bedroom". Basically it was a studio with a half wall separating the bedroom area. It was very charming and in a great location but I decided to go with the new construction apartment I saw in Jersey City. It is brand new, still being competed actually, and only 6 blocks to the path train. It is a split level 663 sq ft one bedroom. I am paying more than I wanted but cable, phone and internet are included and there is a washer and dryer in my unit. That was the big selling point for me. When I go back to GA this weekend I will have to measure my furniture to see what all I can bring. Oh and I know ya'll are dying to know, I am spending $1755. Yes I know that is like a mortgage payment in GA but believe it or not for the location and the amenities, that is a steal in Jersey city. My heart nearly sunk when I wrote out my deposit and rent checks today. I better get use to it though this is home now. I'll post pictures later I move in the end of the month.

My mouth just dropped open when I saw that number. I had no idea it was that much. Crazy! Makes me think I can afford a new house afterall. I'm so happy for you. It sounds so exciting. I'm looking at flights now and can't wait to come and visit. Miss you!
