I really feel like I should write an entry, and I WANT to, but I can't think of what to say!
Well, we did get the official call for an available townhouse. The projected move-in date is July 8, which is a Sunday. That sucks and we're going to talk to them about Saturday instead. Seriously. I would just request the Monday after off, but I am planning to request the previous Monday off as I will be partaking in the Warrior Dash on July 1 and expect to be dead afterwards. Anyway, I applied for Steve and myself (the online application conveniently gives you the option, when listing roommates, to apply for them as well. I didn't feel like paying $560 up front though, so I simply applied for Steve and myself).
Today we had some errands to do, so we decided to check out the specific unit we're applying for. We drove all the way down to the end of the community, and were pleased to discover a type of cul-de-sac where the unit is, conveniently with its own parking lot. The model we were shown was down a generic street with parking inbetween sets of buildings and much more inconvenient.
Here's sort of a view of the lot. If you were in the driver's seat and looking forward instead of to the side like the camera, that's where our unit is.
Ours is second from the right (brick). The white one on the far right is the end unit.
( Here's plain and 3D floor plan )
Ours will be filled with nothing like in the pictures though ahaha. Much more games and much less dining room tables. Steve and mine will be the not-master bedroom. Our counter will be bigger in the bathroom, but we might have to stop showering together in the morning and that will be totally lame. We'll see. The garage will be particularly great because there's ample storage space. Steve and I plan on trying to cut down even more on our stuff (though we did get rid of a lot when we moved back to his parents' house) so that we don't feel cramped. Anyway, we're very excited and plan on saving as much as possible in the two months until then (we already have over $6000 saved). Rent will be $1380/4 and has all the upgrades we hoped for (microwave, countertops, paint, carpet etc.).
Regardless of the unit itself, it's in a great neighborhood. We drove around the area, scoping out trails and paths. It's located right by several food and shopping areas, is directly behind my doctor and walking distance to the DMV. It's biking distance from two GameStops and several parks and a lake. It's awesome.
