Yeah, I've got the fever--moving fever. I went out with an agent from Apartment People which was great--my agent was very upbeat and knowledgeable about neighborhoods and leasing companies, etc and we found some good contenders. One in particular stood out. Later, Kathleen told me that my face absolutely lit up when we walked in. I was so enamoured ( Read more... )

Oh that's so funny, Kathleen mentioned she had shown a bunch of places to a UofC person (I'm assuming you're a UofC person, since you're an lj friend of Penny's) the day before. Alas, I did not get to see the bathroom with the dolphin tiles, but I did see some decent places. I'm bummed that I missed out on a dream place, though. Did you have any luck? The whole process was so exhausting, I'm not looking forward to doing more of it!

yeah, I'm in the MAPSS program; Penny and I actually "met" on the uchicago comm, and we live in the same building, one floor apart!

I was also at the AP place for three or four hours and was totally wiped out afterwards. Originally I was thinking Lakeview/Lincoln Park/Wicker Park (typical) because those are the only other neighborhoods I "know," but after looking around St. Ben's and Roscoe Village, I'd be open to looking in other areas. I hope your app goes through successfully though, Logan Square seems like a decent area to live as well :)
