That was quick.
Nov. 1st, 2006 07:07 pmWe've already found a place. Pending approval of our applications, about which we don't have any worries, it should be ours. I'll put up the full address when it's official, but it's at 33rd and Orange Avenue, RIGHT at the 805. Since in three weeks my company moves to the 805 and Governor, that's mighty handy. AND it's only six blocks from Lestat's.
It's a one-bedroom cottage surrounded by banana and coconut (!) trees in a locked complex. It's $925/mo as opposed to the $1250 we've been paying and the $1325 the landlady wants to raise it to.
Downside: It's small, though bigger than that micro-apartment we saw in Clairemont Mesa.
Upside: It has its own storage unit in back where my books will be residing for the most part. The satellite dish is OK. And there's a YARD. Out the back is a large wooden deck with a yard that wraps around the house. Steve plans on putting the yard under production and I'll have a kitchen garden because a door from the kitchen leads into a small greenspace too.
It'll be a bit of a tight fit, but there's enough connection to both nature and our friends who will be only a few blocks away that I think it'll end up being "cozy" rather than "claustrophobic".
