So let me tell you about our new apartment.

I used to live in the complex we've chosen. My mom and I were roommates there (I was 25 or so), and we both think of that year or so as the best in our lives. We were so happy and calm, and the apartment was perfect, if small. Well, not nearly as small as my *current* apartment, but still.

<td>2 bedrooms</td> <td>1 bedroom</td> <td>1000+ sf</td> <td>700 sf</td> <td>Washer and dryer *in the unit*</td> <td>Lug the laundry downstairs or to the laundromat. Pay too much and get all hot and sweaty from lugging.</td> <td>2 bathrooms</td> <td>1 bathroom, through our bedroom</td> <td>Central air</td> <td>Hot air through the screen</td> <td>LOTS of storage</td> <td>All our stuff crammed into one tiny closet</td> <td>Two pools and a jacuzzi</td> <td>Not</td> <td>Responsive landlords, but 300 units, so they're not in-your-face at all</td> <td>A landlady who gets all tweaked and calls and leaves multiple long messages on our machine</td> <td>Nice big balcony with *another* storage closet.</td> <td>Narrow shared balcony out front</td> <td>~$1200/mo.</td> <td>$550/mo.</td> <td>Bliss</td> <td>Must. Get. Out.</td>
