The continuing apartment hunt...

[arib]

Looked at a place in Brookline last night.

I'd be paying $750 a month as my share of $2350 not counting utilities. The apartment's absolutely gorgeous. It's *huge.* Three bed, two bath, small kitchen alcove, large dining room, with a living room and a small den. (and it's right down the block from mabfan and gnomi, an added plus)

Points to ponder:

-Like the last place, the two guys who're there now are planning on leaving when the lease is up on 8/31/04. So I'd have to try and find two more roommates at the end of that time, or risk moving out in just four months.

-It's just a wee bit out of my price range. If I were staying at McLean, this wouldn't be much of an issue. Since I'll be changing jobs in the fall, I run the risk of being jobless for a while, not to mention that I'll probably be making less as an EMT than I am right now.

In essence, I'll probably have to pass on this one, although I really wish I didn't have to.

Anyone feel like moving to Brookline?

Feh.

a thought concerning your first point:

you may want to talk with the landlord about the roommates-moving-out issue. some of my past landlords have offered to help with the roommate-finding process (though i've never taken them up on it).

FWIW.

Ah. negotiations are going on with the current tenants, not the landlordy.

Think I'm going to pass, though. The price would start getting uncomfy once I leave McLean.
