Nothing is luxurious about having someone live above, below, to right/left and across a hallway of you. Luxury living is at least a 2500sqft house with a decent sized yard space. And with the price of houses and where interest rates are…yeah that truly is a luxury nowadays.
@@BREEZYM6015 That’s great Breezy I’m happy for you. Funny enough I was waiting to get a townhouse built in Tampa but it was during Covid(constant construction delays) and rates started creeping up. I decided to go see what Houston was like and there were houses waiting all over the place smh so I used my VA loan and got a nice 3000 Sqft house and yeah I’m done with apartments…and “luxury” apartments in America ain’t really luxury…when I was in South Korea the regular apartments had heated floors/toilets that would cost 5K in America and a three bedroom 1100Sqft high rise apartment was 1200 dollars. That same apartment would probably be 4K or more. Most Americans truly don’t see how they’re getting screwed.
I dont live in a luxury apartment but we have a gym, community area, pool, vollybally and tennis court. I also can hear everything from everyone else lol. Im also not living high up when I have to bring groceries in.
I live in an older 2 bedroom 1 bathroom BRICK built apartment $900 a month (NOT HEARD OF IN 2025). I REFUSE TO MOVE UNTIL GOD BLESS ME TO PURCHASE A HOME, lt has everything l need, close to everything, and my landlord dont bother me! As far as lm concerned l am living in luxury, living comfortably within my means.
This is so strange because I'm a single/childfree woman with a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom 900 Sq ft here in alabama and my neighbors are sooo quiet. After this place, I'm moving to a townhome.
U really get it and that's great. When I moved into my first apartment, it wasn't much to write home about and I didn't like being on 1st floor aling with the buidling being middle of the run. 6 years after being dame apartment which had convenince saved enough to get decent town home to own. People sadly forget everything is a stepping stone to get to where u ultimately need to be esp with a good budget and planning.
I wonder if ppl realize that top floor ppl aren’t stomping (most of the time). They’re walking normally like ppl below them. The floors are just weak. I don’t understand why complexes can’t stack the floor to reduce the noise 😩
I’m thankful that I’ve been delivered from an apartment to a single family home. There was so many days I was awaken to stomping, music, yelling, sex, etc. The way my nerves are set up, I can no longer stand unnecessary noise and commotion. I pray that I never have to live in an apartment again!
People - no one is stomping - the floors lack insulation - you have a problem with building regulations. Europeans have lived in high rises for decades. I have lived in such an apartment. I could not generally hear my neighbours because the building was built to be soundproof.
I have been in Property Management for 20+ years. Now, 20 years ago the gym, parking, and all amenities were free. We actually sold them on our apartment tours, as inducements to entice you to choose our properties. Today, it's just additional gravy revenue for the management companies. These new builds have water savers, that save so much water, you can't even flush the crap down the toilet. Appliances are so cheap, they are constantly breaking from normal use; don't even get me started about the paper thin dry walls. I'm so happy I don't have to pawn this crap on unsuspecting prospects anymore.

@@pink1237480 why would you dump all that money into rent when you can actually own your own home that makes absolutely no sense either way you’re wasting money so it makes more sense to dump money into your own place that you can eventually own rather than lining the pockets of landlords
This is exactly why a high-rise condo will be a 2nd property for me. I need acres, no neighbors, and NO HOAs/deed restricted communities for me. These make a great vacation spaces like airbnbs.
Part of the problem is people love living in big cities...I love living in the country, away from the noise... and it's less expensive, safer, and quieter
I lived in a luxury apartment.., the part I didn’t like; nearly everyone had a dog!! No kids..A lot of dog barking at all hours and doggy accidents in the elevators. The smell of dog and pee in the hallways and entry ways. But never in the leasing office and lobby..
I will stay in my older apartment. It has charm and I have decorated it nicely. You feel warmth and comfort. I do not have extra fees and they do not go up on my rent. And my water is free and got a washer and dryer. I am fine.
I’m dealing with upstairs neighbors for a while now and have a young boy who STUMPS and runs all day everyday. I wish it was a rule that people with kids have to live on downstairs apartments. It’s not fair or just. If I had a kid? I would do so or know how to tell my kids “you will not be running around here”. Then again I wouldn’t put myself in this predicament..
That's is what I'm dealing with now. I have a 2 year old who makes so much noise from stimming a lot and the manger won't let us be on the 1st floor until my lease is up. Which I requested before moving in and it's on my lease to be on bottom floor. Also we are on the 3rd floor and my neighbor under me be so upset with all the noise do to floor being so thin. Just walking make it sound like we throwing boulders on the floor.
I live on the 12th floor and my biggest fear already happened when both elevators broke down...I stayed in bed didn't go to work....12th floor and stairs...wtf
I live in one and it had been a nightmare the whole 2 years living here. Moving next month thank goodness. Stick to older buildings trust me when I say that. Plus they are most likely soundproof.
@asideofaioli4630 How many places have you seen with a food pantry? So many places have a cupboard for dishes, but where do you put the food, in the dishes cupboard? If it is a luxery apartment, then there will be a special room to store food.
@@KennTollens that's what I thought you meant okay. Yep, we had to get a dining room cabinet to serve as our pantry. And our utility closet can barely fit 1 person inside
Luxurious would be a high message toilet and jacuzzi tub. Good infrastructure so sunlight comes in well. An elevator option at all times if you’re on the top floor. The newest design of air conditioning system and alarms. Opening patio door not slide.
Before you move into Luxury Apartment go there and talk to people that already living in there. Go there during the daytime and at night. If I were you, I would avoid using the pool and jacuzzi.
We did it for three years and it was literally like living in an MK Ulta torture chamber. I will just say this. Most humans are very unsanitary, and I never saw people cleaning the luxurious apartments we lived in. It is a SCAM. You're paying a mortgage payment to live in an eastern block style rat cage with a slightly fancy façade from Temu
No joke, I have people above doeing SM, and 🌽 probably… it’s so nasty24/7…. It’s like they stomping with high heals on my ovaries… what a crazyness!!!! Yelling and screaming.. thinking they are hot… Not.. they demonic
I will choose older building over a newer building any day. My walls are legit made out of concrete I hate having to drill to hang things on my wall. I also don’t hear my neighbors conversations.
Its about common sense. An apartment is an apartment, a box (to me) isnt luxury, humans do human things and the neighborhood has to be worth the money. Amenities are wonderful but also think about little basic things and can you tolerate what those little cons can be. Research. Use your eyes. Common sense.
I used to live in a luxury highrise and we often had one hot ass slow elevator full of people with no other elevators working. I do not miss it. The fees were constantly increased and things not fixed long term. The included utilities were rationed out in very low quantities so I could not feel the heat or cool air when it was needed.
Alot of modern apartments are marketed as luxury but they're just modern. Actual luxury apts and hi rises are built quite well with proper sound proofing and installation. My view and wrap around apartment are top tier. Wouldn't trade it for nun.
i live in alabama, my sister lives in an apartment complex with about 40 units and the owner and her son lives in them too, no section 8, low income , straight rent, they arent updated but they have what she needs, she pays 585 for 1/1, she wirks 2 jobs and her credit score is 785 every last one of her friends tells her shes cheap, my sister says naw, im saving my whole second job check to buy her a house. i sent her this, oh and two blocks over
theyve built luxury apartments, 1250😂😂😂, we all do the same thing, house, apartment, trailer, van life, eat, sleep n shyt and anybody can get robbed anywhere
This is why I like my “old” 4 story walk up apartment with a laundry room in each of the buildings, with central heating/air and in a quiet building, thank you Lord!
you’d be surprised how many of these expensive “nice” apartments have bug & mice/rat infestations. ppl always saying it’s too nice to have an infestation etc, neighbours & the buildings itself (pipes, unsealed holes in the walls, cabinets, vents, windows not properly sealed ) is usually the problem especially when you keep your house clean !! there’s a lot of videos on tiktok it’s actually INSANE. one person I saw had just moved & one week later the home was infested and with their stuff moved in too, so sad.
The strongest protest is withholding monies and not allowing yourself to rent this mess to begin with. They need to go out of business And that is the best way to make that happen.
I lived in one of those and my family visited me in my $1600 studio apartment then moved me into a home months later because they couldn’t understand how a room can cost just as much as mortgage.
When looking for apartments I saw a new build that had no lights in the bedrooms supposed to be new and innovative 🙃. Also I don’t hear anyone talking about the layout of these new builds… it is not a functional space! A lot of wasted space even when it’s small square footage. 80% of the time you’re walking into the kitchen. Always seems to be bedroom that has door located on the wall where you’re expected to put your tv. The whole open concept is a big part of the reason for losing rooms and space. No breakfast island to even separate kitchen from living room. There is no dinning room! One bedroom is always in a spot that could’ve or should’ve been your dining room and or closet space, lenning closet ect. Glass shower doors always breaking and has hard water buildup. I get not everyone wants a bathtub but it’s better than these glass walk ins and a tub is easier to clean than the tiny square tiles that they usually put in the walk ins. Shower curtains can change the whole look and theme of the bathroom instantly. Floor to ceiling windows are just a loss of privacy if below the 5th floor. You have to change all the blinds to curtains and frost the bottom of your windows if you want to open them to get full natural light and privacy.
I just hate all these mew cheaply built modular apartments are marketed as luxury when its just a normal new cheaply built place. Its not automatically luxury just because it's new and has a few on trend decorations/renovations. And people are doing this dumb crap everywhere, buying up land in the carribean and building "luxury" apartments that locals can't afford. Why do i have to be rich to enjoy the carribean now? This is BS. And why does everything need to be luxury? Just make a normal comfortable clean building. If its labeled as luxury it needs to be heavily regulated and if you dont meet the standard, you shouldnt be able to label your apartment luxury and cant charge over a certain percentage for rent based on the local average COL and income. We need proper rent regulations
Why such foul language. Didn’t their parents or guardians teach them right???OMG I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet. Some people would be grateful to have a home. 😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔
I left mines 6 months ago. Worse place I ever lived. I'm 42. No noise reduction and cheap ass appliances and expensive rent never again. Once again so incredibly noisey!!!!! Quiet is true luxury.
I live in a luxury apartment and each person had their in entrance that was my reason to live there. When I tell you that it was the worse experience in my life. I developed so many different issues. But the biggest one was that the wall was so thin.
In larger cities like LA and NYC, luxury apartment developments are often required to allocate a certain percentage of units, typically around 10%, for residents using housing vouchers. This is because many new "luxury apartments" are built after demolishing and displacing lower-cost housing. To obtain permits for these developments, builders must agree to serve a portion of the population in need of affordable housing. However, some older apartment buildings avoid this requirement by simply renovating their units and rebranding them as "luxury" apartments, bypassing the need to accept vouchers. These practices are tied to construction codes and the population demographics of the area. Essentially, the legal framework allows developers to replace thousands of affordable units with only a few low-cost units alongside hundreds of luxury apartments. For more details, contact your local city ordinance office-they can provide specific information about the regulations in your area.
@@come_on_barbie_123 Additionally, in some cases, a housing voucher isn’t required-eligibility is based on income and the size of your household. The process involves submitting documentation, which is then reviewed and approved by a third party before being forwarded to the property. However, even if you meet the financial requirements, you may still be disqualified if your family size doesn’t match the available unit. For example, a property with only three-bedroom units might require a family of 5-6, so a family of four would not qualify. **Ironically, if you were renting at full price, you could be a single person renting a three-bedroom unit without any restrictions.**
The flex life makes no sense when u gonna look 20 years later and mad at the world for clown choices with people who don’t care about you live your best life save your money travel the world take your time before having children ! Luxury apartment (stuck or on a beach in Australia smiling) better choices !
Then it's not luxury. Why they keep saying that. It's high rise project apartments. They just slapped the word luxury and you think you living high on th Hog. Sad.
The issue for me was that my not luxury apartment I just moved from was the same $1800 my luxury apartment is now. And it had mold. My first apartment in 2018 had the brown unfinished cabinets, full of pantry moths. Larvae crawling up the walls and roaches were getting stuck behind my tv screen. Since then, I too have had a deep distain for the brown cabinets.
Atlanta is literally turning into a little New York with all these so called luxury apartments and townhouses they’re putting up. I know everyone needs a place to live. But they need to stop overselling these apartments. Stop overpricing them and calling it luxury. Because it’s really not. They don’t even make duplexes nowadays like that. But calling these regular one floor apartments luxury. Smh.
Nothing is luxurious about having someone live above, below, to right/left and across a hallway of you. Luxury living is at least a 2500sqft house with a decent sized yard space. And with the price of houses and where interest rates are…yeah that truly is a luxury nowadays.

@@PerryGyalTyngzmy thing is the closest what tf could possibly be in there that they are opening that shit every 10 mins i go into my closet twice a day maybe 3
They put overprice marble countertop in a regular apartment and call it Luxury if they don’t kiss my ass.😂
7:56 She ain't gonna be thinking about no view when the appliances in her pad start shutting down. Many of those "luxury" buildings are poorly built.
"And I HATE IT HERE!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Felt that on a soul level, cause I am right here with you!
@@sunflowerkisses you live in a luxury apartment?
There is NOTHING luxurious about being uncomfortable where you lay your head!
Dude said he ONLY making 15k and month 😑, maybe get a mortgage instead
right??? i'm like shit, i wish i ONLY made HALF that per month!
I'm proud of him
@@aspyn.j_u will hun
I would advise him not to get a mortgage. If he doesn't have a family or anything there's no need. He can live anywhere in the world without dumping all that money into a mortgage. There's better things he can invest his money in.
@@pink1237480 why would you dump all that money into rent when you can actually own your own home that makes absolutely no sense either way you’re wasting money so it makes more sense to dump money into your own place that you can eventually own rather than lining the pockets of landlords
These new buildings are built of cheap materials and labor.
And they build it so quickly
Super cheap; all the fixtures break with normal use.
This is exactly why a high-rise condo will be a 2nd property for me. I need acres, no neighbors, and NO HOAs/deed restricted communities for me.
These make a great vacation spaces like airbnbs.
Part of the problem is people love living in big cities...I love living in the country, away from the noise... and it's less expensive, safer, and quieter
First dude… just take the stairs to the 6th floor…. problem solved.
Check the neighborhood out at night as well that way you can peep game
I don’t like depending on other people to not burn down their apartment so that they don’t burn my down😂 I couldn’t do it
I lived in a luxury apartment.., the part I didn’t like; nearly everyone had a dog!! No kids..A lot of dog barking at all hours and doggy accidents in the elevators. The smell of dog and pee in the hallways and entry ways. But never in the leasing office and lobby..
I know since the 90s luxury apartments was a scam 😆
I almost going crazy … every room I’m in I hear feet draggging above my head , things dropping I’m so over it
I will stay in my older apartment. It has charm and I have decorated it nicely. You feel warmth and comfort. I do not have extra fees and they do not go up on my rent. And my water is free and got a washer and dryer. I am fine.
I’m dealing with upstairs neighbors for a while now and have a young boy who STUMPS and runs all day everyday. I wish it was a rule that people with kids have to live on downstairs apartments. It’s not fair or just. If I had a kid? I would do so or know how to tell my kids “you will not be running around here”. Then again I wouldn’t put myself in this predicament..
That's is what I'm dealing with now. I have a 2 year old who makes so much noise from stimming a lot and the manger won't let us be on the 1st floor until my lease is up. Which I requested before moving in and it's on my lease to be on bottom floor. Also we are on the 3rd floor and my neighbor under me be so upset with all the noise do to floor being so thin. Just walking make it sound like we throwing boulders on the floor.
What they call “LUXERY” is considered TRASH nowadays 😅
I live on the 12th floor and my biggest fear already happened when both elevators broke down...I stayed in bed didn't go to work....12th floor and stairs...wtf
2:04 steps per minute took me out! 😂😂😂 frfr cuz just wtf are yall doing up there? Having a whole damn million man March is insanity 😩
Lesson learned here, don’t help anyone until you can fully help yourself out of your own problems.
Shower curtains & luxury don’t belong in the same sentence. That was a big clue right there.
I live in one and it had been a nightmare the whole 2 years living here. Moving next month thank goodness. Stick to older buildings trust me when I say that. Plus they are most likely soundproof.
What were the issues you encountered in your 2 years besides hearing everything through the walls?
Only thing luxury is the price.
If they say luxury, then I say show me the pantry.
I think i know what you mean, but can you explain?
@asideofaioli4630 How many places have you seen with a food pantry? So many places have a cupboard for dishes, but where do you put the food, in the dishes cupboard? If it is a luxery apartment, then there will be a special room to store food.
@@KennTollens that's what I thought you meant okay. Yep, we had to get a dining room cabinet to serve as our pantry. And our utility closet can barely fit 1 person inside
20:03 THE MAIN THING TO TAKE OUTTA THIS!
Never understood luxury apartments. For those prices, just buy a your own house. Thats luxury.
Luxurious would be a high message toilet and jacuzzi tub. Good infrastructure so sunlight comes in well. An elevator option at all times if you’re on the top floor. The newest design of air conditioning system and alarms. Opening patio door not slide.
The first guy has to understand. The people who live on the top floor od his building arent taking the same elevators he is.
I have a private elevator.
You are correct
Second guy has me crying! Also, luxury apartments look cold and hard.
I've never thought I was winning, living in my lil rancher. Thats one if the reasons I hate big cities.
Before you move into Luxury Apartment go there and talk to people that already living in there. Go there during the daytime and at night. If I were you, I would avoid using the pool and jacuzzi.
Always a good idea
We did it for three years and it was literally like living in an MK Ulta torture chamber.
I will just say this. Most humans are very unsanitary, and I never saw people cleaning the luxurious apartments we lived in.
It is a SCAM. You're paying a mortgage payment to live in an eastern block style rat cage with a slightly fancy façade from Temu
You don't know most people.
No joke, I have people above doeing SM, and 🌽 probably… it’s so nasty24/7…. It’s like they stomping with high heals on my ovaries… what a crazyness!!!! Yelling and screaming.. thinking they are hot…
Not.. they demonic
I will choose older building over a newer building any day. My walls are legit made out of concrete I hate having to drill to hang things on my wall. I also don’t hear my neighbors conversations.
"I pay a million $ for my shoebox." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its about common sense. An apartment is an apartment, a box (to me) isnt luxury, humans do human things and the neighborhood has to be worth the money. Amenities are wonderful but also think about little basic things and can you tolerate what those little cons can be. Research. Use your eyes. Common sense.
Oh and everything works properly in the regular apartments … also the hot water works just fine!
Not he could get a intense workout at the nursing home😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I used to live in a luxury highrise and we often had one hot ass slow elevator full of people with no other elevators working. I do not miss it. The fees were constantly increased and things not fixed long term. The included utilities were rationed out in very low quantities so I could not feel the heat or cool air when it was needed.
Alot of modern apartments are marketed as luxury but they're just modern. Actual luxury apts and hi rises are built quite well with proper sound proofing and installation. My view and wrap around apartment are top tier. Wouldn't trade it for nun.
$4000 a month ??
i live in alabama, my sister lives in an apartment complex with about 40 units and the owner and her son lives in them too, no section 8, low income , straight rent, they arent updated but they have what she needs, she pays 585 for 1/1, she wirks 2 jobs and her credit score is 785 every last one of her friends tells her shes cheap, my sister says naw, im saving my whole second job check to buy her a house. i sent her this, oh and two blocks over
theyve built luxury apartments, 1250😂😂😂, we all do the same thing, house, apartment, trailer, van life, eat, sleep n shyt and anybody can get robbed anywhere
The gag is by apartments, putting "Luxury " in their name they don't have to accept section 8.
This isn't a gag. It's untrue. Many "luxury" apartments have housing programs for a certain num of units. It's a huge tax write off.
@@cjohnson_Yep
You can have a regular apartment and make it luxury. That’s currently what I’m working on 💕🥰
For those who moved into these apartments thinking that they were going to get luxury, who are you trying to pop style for? Your guests? 😂😂
This is why I like my “old” 4 story walk up apartment with a laundry room in each of the buildings, with central heating/air and in a quiet building, thank you Lord!
City life is overrated! You get so much more in smaller towns, communities, personal space, lower rents and so on.
Jobs are largely downtown though. That's the main draw because commuting from small towns to where jobs are isn't always worth it
At least there’s no bugs or gunshots 😅
you’d be surprised how many of these expensive “nice” apartments have bug & mice/rat infestations.
ppl always saying it’s too nice to have an infestation etc, neighbours & the buildings itself (pipes, unsealed holes in the walls, cabinets, vents, windows not properly sealed ) is usually the problem especially when you keep your house clean !!
there’s a lot of videos on tiktok it’s actually INSANE. one person I saw had just moved & one week later the home was infested and with their stuff moved in too, so sad.
This is why I choose to live in a studio apartment and keep everything low and be in my peace and live below my means
Renovation is not necessarily luxury .
How are fertility rates falling everywhere for a couple decades at least now and there's a housing shortage... 🤔
Logic. Where are all of the children that we need all of this housing?
The strongest protest is withholding monies and not allowing yourself to rent this mess to begin with. They need to go out of business And that is the best way to make that happen.
I lived in one of those and my family visited me in my $1600 studio apartment then moved me into a home months later because they couldn’t understand how a room can cost just as much as mortgage.
12:20 blond guy say pay 10k for linkedin irl 😅
A three-plex is the highest I would live high-rise is a nightmare elevator with strangers every day every day like you're at a hospital
When looking for apartments I saw a new build that had no lights in the bedrooms supposed to be new and innovative 🙃.
Also I don’t hear anyone talking about the layout of these new builds… it is not a functional space! A lot of wasted space even when it’s small square footage. 80% of the time you’re walking into the kitchen. Always seems to be bedroom that has door located on the wall where you’re expected to put your tv.
The whole open concept is a big part of the reason for losing rooms and space. No breakfast island to even separate kitchen from living room. There is no dinning room! One bedroom is always in a spot that could’ve or should’ve been your dining room and or closet space, lenning closet ect.
Glass shower doors always breaking and has hard water buildup. I get not everyone wants a bathtub but it’s better than these glass walk ins and a tub is easier to clean than the tiny square tiles that they usually put in the walk ins. Shower curtains can change the whole look and theme of the bathroom instantly.
Floor to ceiling windows are just a loss of privacy if below the 5th floor. You have to change all the blinds to curtains and frost the bottom of your windows if you want to open them to get full natural light and privacy.
Wait. People in luxury apartments ain't buying furniture?!? The HAYLE? LOL.
I will not live in apartments nor condos.
I just hate all these mew cheaply built modular apartments are marketed as luxury when its just a normal new cheaply built place. Its not automatically luxury just because it's new and has a few on trend decorations/renovations. And people are doing this dumb crap everywhere, buying up land in the carribean and building "luxury" apartments that locals can't afford. Why do i have to be rich to enjoy the carribean now? This is BS. And why does everything need to be luxury? Just make a normal comfortable clean building. If its labeled as luxury it needs to be heavily regulated and if you dont meet the standard, you shouldnt be able to label your apartment luxury and cant charge over a certain percentage for rent based on the local average COL and income. We need proper rent regulations
Why such foul language. Didn’t their parents or guardians teach them right???OMG
I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet.
Some people would be grateful to have a home. 😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔
I don’t envy anybody that doesn’t have a mortgage right now.
Bro said he could probably get a better workout in an old folks home...I'm done😂😂😂😂
I'll stick to my home that's over 100 years old. Made well and beautiful.
I left mines 6 months ago. Worse place I ever lived. I'm 42. No noise reduction and cheap ass appliances and expensive rent never again. Once again so incredibly noisey!!!!! Quiet is true luxury.
I live in a luxury apartment and each person had their in entrance that was my reason to live there. When I tell you that it was the worse experience in my life. I developed so many different issues. But the biggest one was that the wall was so thin.
😮
They are advertised as luxury because that way they don’t have to take section 8 . It’s a legal reason nothing more
Ahhh that makes a lot of sense.
That's not true. Im here because I'm in one, and I don't like it. Lol And I have a voucher. It depends on the state/county, I guess?
In larger cities like LA and NYC, luxury apartment developments are often required to allocate a certain percentage of units, typically around 10%, for residents using housing vouchers. This is because many new "luxury apartments" are built after demolishing and displacing lower-cost housing. To obtain permits for these developments, builders must agree to serve a portion of the population in need of affordable housing.
However, some older apartment buildings avoid this requirement by simply renovating their units and rebranding them as "luxury" apartments, bypassing the need to accept vouchers. These practices are tied to construction codes and the population demographics of the area.
Essentially, the legal framework allows developers to replace thousands of affordable units with only a few low-cost units alongside hundreds of luxury apartments. For more details, contact your local city ordinance office-they can provide specific information about the regulations in your area.
@@come_on_barbie_123
@@come_on_barbie_123 Additionally, in some cases, a housing voucher isn’t required-eligibility is based on income and the size of your household. The process involves submitting documentation, which is then reviewed and approved by a third party before being forwarded to the property. However, even if you meet the financial requirements, you may still be disqualified if your family size doesn’t match the available unit. For example, a property with only three-bedroom units might require a family of 5-6, so a family of four would not qualify. **Ironically, if you were renting at full price, you could be a single person renting a three-bedroom unit without any restrictions.**
The flex life makes no sense when u gonna look 20 years later and mad at the world for clown choices with people who don’t care about you live your best life save your money travel the world take your time before having children ! Luxury apartment (stuck or on a beach in Australia smiling) better choices !
Then it's not luxury. Why they keep saying that. It's high rise project apartments. They just slapped the word luxury and you think you living high on th
Hog. Sad.
The issue for me was that my not luxury apartment I just moved from was the same $1800 my luxury apartment is now. And it had mold. My first apartment in 2018 had the brown unfinished cabinets, full of pantry moths. Larvae crawling up the walls and roaches were getting stuck behind my tv screen. Since then, I too have had a deep distain for the brown cabinets.
Atlanta is literally turning into a little New York with all these so called luxury apartments and townhouses they’re putting up. I know everyone needs a place to live. But they need to stop overselling these apartments. Stop overpricing them and calling it luxury. Because it’s really not. They don’t even make duplexes nowadays like that. But calling these regular one floor apartments luxury. Smh.
That’s why you look at the reviews and go to the lowest ranked views. All these “luxury” apartments are ghetto.
I wouldnt want to live more than 3 floors up. What if you need to jump out the window?
To go where?
