    I live in an apartment and I really like it. Before this apartment, I lived in an over 50 apartment complex. I didn’t like it because a lot of people there were one step away from a nursing home. Smoking outside constantly despite health issues, some in wheelchairs or walkers, dying or ill. It was too depressing. So many died while I was there. I like the variety of all ages here. No children running around,very peaceful. Thank you for your bread recipe.

    Hi Carolyn, I'm so glad you started this channel :) I'm fully retired since 2024, living in the Pacific Northwest near my daughter. I enjoy your cooking ideas, your hobbies, and your goal of creating a community. I live alone and currently own my mobile home, but I rent the land it's on in a lovely park. I can relate to your situation where big decisions face us. I moved here from Kansas in 2015. A close friend of mine gave me some good advice: "Enjoy making all the decisions that lie ahead". This would never occur to me. I can't ever have enough information to make a good decision, I say to myself. So, she set me on the right path. My mother lived in an over 55 apartment complex and had a wonderful life there, but I would miss my container garden :)

    Your home situation is happening to a lot of senior, myself included. I live in a condo, but because of all of the increases in ins, HOA fees, assessment fees, increase in utilities etc, make it harder for people on fixed incomes to live. I am 76 and still working but I wish that I didn't have to. I am fortunate to love my job. I love your channel and I learn something new every time I watch your videos.

    Hi, Carolyn! What a wonderful recipe and it was clear as a bell; you are a very good teacher. I love your blue mixer. I would like to tell you my thoughts about moving. First of all - prayer! You knew that. My husband and I had tried for years to get my parents (with our help) to move close to us {they were in Colorado; we are in Virginia). I felt that they would surely do so when my Dad retired at 74, but no, they didn't want to be a bother and they were used to where they were. By the time they were in their early 80s, I could only get out there every year ot two. On our last visit to see them, we found that they had not been telling us that they were in trouble and everything was a shambles, including their health. My husband and I had to spend 6 weeks (luckily he could work remotely) helping them and packing up their stuff. Sorry to be longwinded, but do think about how much harder it might be for your family if you don't get settled near some of them in the near future, before the calamity comes. It always does. God bless you.

    I think apartment living has good points. I lived in an apartment twice in my life, but years ago. Last time was in 2005. I like that I had a balcony where I could have privacy and sit outside. Was able to have a few plants outside on the balcony to satisfy my desire to have plants around me. And when things break down the landlord will repair things, although maybe not always in the timeframe you’d like. But the responsibility is on them. Best of luck to you.

    Hi, Carolyn! I moved from FL to TX a few years ago to be close to my family and lived in an apartment for 15 months while looking for a home to buy. Frankly, apartment living was an awful experience for me. I lived on the bottom floor and the noise at all hours of the night was unbearable. The management of the community was virtually nonexistent, so the rules in place to keep the community nice were not enforced. When my lease expired, the rent increased by over 100%. I bought a small single family home just under 1500 sf with a small yard and the cost including HOA fees, taxes, and insurance is very similar to the monthly rent I was paying. The only added cost is the maintenance. However, the maintenance is reasonable since my home is small.

    When I was contemplating retirement, I had a small mortgage and of course taxes and upkeep on a mid size house. I made the decision to sell. So stayed with daughters for awhile, but really wanted my own place. I decided to try senior apt living. There have been and still are good and bad points. I have found my one bed apt is just big enough for me, also I must say neighbors can be a problem at times. The rules and regs are an onus. And management and maintenance have changed 4 or 5 times in 6 years! On positive note the apt is quite roomy at 765 ft, one level, convenient post. Looking back to be honest, I would have kept my house and worked it out. But each person is different. Good luck!

    When it comes to an apartment, a lot depends on the area of town it is in, if children are there, and the management. Some management really do not enforce rules on the property, and can be very intrusive, finding reasons to enter your apartment that really are not necessary. Some take excellent care of their property, others do not and jury rig a lot. Kids are great. But as a senior, many of us need to live on the ground floor. Kids run just being kids make a lot of noise even at the apartment swimming pool and hot tub. I would see them standing on the side going to the bathroom in the pool to the point, I would not use the pool, but yet my water bill had a surcharge on it every month for the water that was used in the community pool and a water the grass. And a lot of the parents just do not monitor their children like we used to. And they can recap it sometimes kids or kids. I love them actually, but I really don’t wanna live in an apartment complex with them. I have lived in apartment complexes. Also that always followed the law before they entered your apartment they gave you the proper notice we’re gonna come in and change your air conditioning filters. We’re gonna come in and do some maintenance work whatever they needed to do because it was always a problem for me when I was a nurse and I worked 12 hour night shifts and here they would insist that they had to enter my apartment after I had been working all night and needed to go to work that night and I had no options to sleep and get ready and if I made an error at work, it could mean someone’s life so if that was an issue for me. So I think a lot of it depends on going out walking the property looking around seeing if there are kids hanging around people sitting around smoking outside also looking at the quality of the apartment inside don’t just look at their model apartment asked to see an empty apartment. If they don’t let you see an empty apartment there’s an issue. Because a lot of times the model apartment has higher quality cabinetry everything in it and then you move in and you’ve got cheap cabinetry. It’s jury rigged, repairs, etc. and really you’re gonna know there’s a problem. I don’t really trust on line reviews of apartments because you get one person that’s had a problem and actually maybe that person was the problem And they can leave some pretty bad reviews. But what I got to where I did when I had to live in apartments was I went out and walked the apartment grounds talk to people that lived there before I ever even bothered going into the office and looking and do you know taking up any more of their time it was just not worth it to move in and then find out that it’s miserable once you get there. But there are some very nice apartments, especially if you can find a nice one that seniors live in. They’re usually quiet not always grandkids do visit, but they’re not there all the time and if there’s someone that lives above you who babysits for extra money, you’re gonna hear all that noise so you need to ask if they’re allowed to open a business like that because I ran into that one time in about two years I will be moving back into an apartment. So I really do hope to find a decent apartment I live on some family property right now. That really doesn’t work well other than I travel a lot right now as part of my retirement plan, and so I really only need a homebase. I’m only here3 to 4 times a year, but I learned during the big pandemic to have a homebase.

    • @Neena-e1e
      @Neena-e1e 7 днів тому +1

      I totally agree with your post. I have lived in various apartment complexes and it definitely depends on the management and the area of the apartment. Most of my experience of apartment living has been in the Houston TX area. Due to a family situation I lived for a little over a year in the Austin area. The manager was constantly visiting the apartments and I believe they were concerned about activities some residents might have been involved in. When lease was up I moved out.
      If you are respectful of others I truly feel you can have a good experience

    Be prepared to look for apartments that accept pets. They usually have limitations on pet size and breed. They will probably charge rent for Maizie. I pay $15.00 per month for one Chihuahua. There is a pet deposit also. Rent goes up every year; I lease for 12 months, but for more money I could rent month to month. 🙏🏻 for the Lord to guide you and bless you favorably.
