I feel that finding our next place, from Longmont to Denver, is harder now than it was out-of-state, from Indiana to Colorado! YIKES!
We want a 2/2, would do a 2/1, might end up with a 1/1.
We see a rental advertised, but are told it is already rented when we call. Chris makes appointments for viewings and gets contacted about 30 minutes before to say it has been rented. The place, a townhouse, I really wanted, Chris attended an open house while I was in Florida. We didn't get picked! We have done a couple drive-bys to find that we don't like the area. A house was a little more "worn" than we liked, but we would have managed it had the street/neighborhood been better. We had appointments to see 4 apartments yesterday, but were told that morning two of them had been rented (both 2/1's which we really want).
The prices are all over the place. We have an amount in mind and areas of the city where we would like to live. We worry that we will either have to overpay or settle for something small, just to remain in Denver proper. We are thinking we might do a suburb, which would get us much much closer than now up in Longmont. (We would, most likely, be able to get something a bit newer and bigger for a similar, maybe smaller, price.)
We applied for a 1/1 (925 sq.ft plus a storage "closet) last nite. It's right at City Park, so we have a great spot to run & walk. The building, while old, is gorgeous ~ Romanesque with porticos and a shared courtyard! There is a claw-foot tub, not to my liking, but we really like everything else about the place. A shared laundry, but we are working with slim-pickings and a time crunch.
Chris has been a champ with packing, as usual. I am working on embracing the chaos!
We could use a bit of luck....our lease ends August 31st.
Fingers crossed! Asking for thoughts & prayers.
