So I'm DONE!! FOREVER!! oh praise God
Still not caught up on sleep, but that'll come. The point of this entry is to discuss housing for next year. Graduation is Sunday, then I'm going home. The next week, She-Mom and I are gonna drive down to Atl to see about finding me a place to live. I'd kinda like to work with a realtor just to make things easier, but I'm not sure. Below are some places I've found online that I like--cast your vote.
General thoughts:
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna try to get a house because they're so cheap and I think it would make me really happy. I really really want a house with a porch so I can sit out there and drink sweet tea in the evenings and be friends with my neighbors. Also they're really cute. Also that's part of why I wanted to move to the South--front porches.
Porches aside, the most important feature of a house (aside from exterior cuteness which is stupid but matters a lot) I really want a good big kitchen. It doesn't have to be amazing, but counter space and an open feeling are very important to someone who cooks as much as I do.
I'm pretty set on hardwood floors, too. I think carpet looks cheaper and gets dirtier. And especially if I have Clare, hardwoods are easier to get dog hair off of.
Speaking of Clare, a fenced-in yard would be lovely. I think that if I get a place without one, I probably won't bring her down, which would be very sad.
I'd love a washer-dryer--think how much cleaner I'd be!
I really hope it has nice trees outside. I really love trees.
I'm hoping for a good familyish location, but you can't tell much from one visit. I'd like a safeish neighborhood where the houses aren't too far (but not close enough that you look in your neighbors windows) and I'm dead set on sidewalks in the neighborhood--then people take walks and are friends!
Without further ado, the competitors (in no particular order)
1. Carpeted, but very cute with a nice looking kitchen.
2. A little funny-looking but very nice inside
3. Small porch but washer-dryer and nice neighborhood
4. Amazing, incredible, lovely, but no fence
5. Not sure if I love the inside (and it's a duplex) but there are roses on the porch!
6. Small porch, nice kitchen, house might be too big
7. Very very cute but not a reverse commute
8. No porch, but somehow still very cute
9. Tiny and cute but in someone's backyard
If you're really into this (or really bored) and want to see how far this stuff is from my school, the address is 4449 Northside Drive 30327.
So far 4 and 7 are my top choices, but it will naturally depend on how things feel when I'm there. Cast your votes!!
