    Which apartment do you think I'll pick? 🤔

  • @ritagold1034
    @ritagold1034 Рік тому +9

    The lake view. You can update the counters in that kitchen using marble contact paper. Looking forward to seeing what you choose.

    How nice of you to take us apartment hunting and to see your channel and content growing. 😊 My guess is apt 4 - Lake View

    I turn keys in, in the morning. New city, lower rent and nicer community. I’m thrilled. Already looking to improve it.

    Lakeview bc you can use all your diy skills to update and the money you save can go towards your future house! I also love the view!!

    Highway Hideaway has 1130 sq ft and is the cheapest in rent. So you get more space for your money. It also includes water and trash. Now Center Point includes internet also. But only had 1056sq ft for 262.00 a month more in rent..... Lake view is 147.00 more in rent than Highway Hideaway with the same sq feet and internet. So if you were going on a budget alone I think you would pick Highway Hideaway. Can't wait to see which one you pick and how you decorate it.

    @marymack4105 Рік тому +4

    This was fun! If I were choosing, it would be the unrenovated one that doesn’t have the arch. I know you like that arch, but I think it’s an oddity. And it limits wall space in both of those rooms. Whatever you choose. I know you’ll make it look awesome.😊

  • @lindawarden-burglund9603
    @lindawarden-burglund9603 Рік тому +2

    Center Point would be my first choice. It's beautifully renovated already. Lake View is obviously the same size but would require some updates and reno projects, not a problem for you however, and would allow you to put your personal touch on the apartment! In addition, you'd be saving money! I'm really torn. I would choose Center Point, but my guess is that you will choose Lake View!

  • @marieconway6600
    @marieconway6600 Рік тому +3

    Number 4. It's a really nice apt. It's cheaper than 4 so you can save. You can also post a kitchen diy rental friendly

  • @mistyduke880
    @mistyduke880 Рік тому +2

    I think it’s going to be the Lake View. It may be plain, but you will make it look great while staying in your rent budget.

  • @AndreaSooHill429

    The last one with Lakeview. Cheaper... worth to save the money for the next place and get what you really want then. Til then still save some money

  • @IPScrap

    The 4th apartment. I think with that one, although is outdated, you can do some diy make it your own and teach us how to do it 😉

  • @saidaswift9531
    @saidaswift9531 Рік тому +1

    Lakeview is the best and since you have a diy channel it does give you room for that without breaking the bank. Also, as you've experience, rents go up so it's best to start a more affordable starting point that you can make your own.

  • @Deborahs.6992
    @Deborahs.6992 Рік тому +1

    I’m guessing Lake View since it has the 3rd bedroom for an office/craft area and it’s within budget.

  • @CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa

    Fun video Alli. Moving can be so stressful. I’m guessing you pick the last one. Your diy and decorating skills will shine the most in that one. It has the right bones and I know you can work with that. Hugs friend 🥰🤗

    Hi, I think you will pick the last one. It has a little calming river or whatever it’s called. Money wise I think you may just get that one. Either way if not any of them, maybe you’ll find something closer to what you like better. Good luck.!!!💞

  • @robindrever4544
    @robindrever4544 Рік тому

    Thank you for sharing you journey!! All the apartments had definite potential. My favorite and the one I believe you are leaning towards is the "Lake View". Even though the kitchen and bathroom were outdated, there are so many possibilities for renter friendly upgrades that I know you could do to make it work for you and your boyfriend. Add a bar cart and a buffet/hutch painted white to the kitchen/dining area for storage and additional counter space. You could move the bar cart around on casters so it could act as an island or get tucked away against a wall. You can also cover the counters with a removable material in the color of your choice to liven it up. Can't wait to see what you choose! Good luck!

  • @lovealwaysmom
    @lovealwaysmom Рік тому +2

    I thought it strange that you objected to the "outdated" features of option #3. Think of it as an opportunity to use it for your diys. You would want to "make it your own" and you have content.
    Keep in mind that many garage spaces for apartments don't have or have few outlets in them. Also the power that tools would require might blow a fuse.
    We hear about your wish list. What about his? Space and what else?

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  Рік тому +1

      That was definitely a consideration! And I could see DIY potential for all of the apartments!
      Also, it was "our" wishlist/requirements list. I'm just so used to saying "I/my" in videos I didn't even realize. We definitely made a joint decision on the apartment we chose!
