Finally, a place to live!

Matt and I have spent a lot of our time lately scouting apartments and making appointments. Since our ideal locations are about an hour and a half away from Poughkeepsie, we wanted to set a date to visit as many apartments as possible. After making a wonderful color coded itinerary, printing directions, maps, emails and floorplans we were prepared to take the trip. We left around 7:45 this yesterday morning for Stamford, CT in high hopes. We absolutely loved the third place we visited, but decided that we should keep looking just in case we found something better. The fifth place we looked at was extremely similar to the third place, but a couple hundred dollars more expensive. We then decided to take a risk, cancel our remaining appointments and put a deposit down at the third place we went to, Avalon Grove. Some of the perks of the property are: heated in ground swimming pool, gym, indoor racquetball court, indoor basketball court, beautiful outdoor grilling area and the best of all is the free shuttle to the train station that comes every 20 minutes during peak commuting hours. The apartment we chose is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with loft and an extra large storage unit that could be used as a guest room.

Floor plan:
I am very happy with our decision and it's nice to not have the stress of looking for a place to live. Our official move-in date is June 10th, which is nice because it gives us a little time after graduation to prepare for the move. For pictures of the property click here.
