Double_E Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Looking for studio or 1 BR apt... hopefully within house... hopefully with neighbors who don't mind occasional loud music/teevee ... My only "absolute musts": 1) $600 max (better yet 550) + utilities 2) onsite washer/dryer 3) easy, quick access to an I-5 exit in Seattle (anything from like 85th St in the north end to Albro/Michigan in south end would work) 4) some type of backyard/deck/patio, however small... basically anything big enough for BBQ and a couple chairs. (Might even consider a room in a group-house with cool climber/biker cats... but for the most part am looking to keep living solo.) any tips/info/advice much appreciated!! Quote
Skip_M._Kliphiem Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Hey Ethan, I'm just finishing some work on a place that fits all of your "absolute musts" except for 1)... more like 2x that amount. Yowza! that's a lot. It's at 70st NE and 19 ave. Call me if you if you want to be put in touch with these people. Quote

Only problem is that the landlords, who live upstairs, are doing this remodel job on their apartment which in my opinion is (A) impacting my apartment, and the backyard, way more than it needs to and (B) taking WAY longer than it needs to. So anyway, it fulfills all but item 4, above.. the back yard/patio is barely usable as such, cuz it looks like fuckin Bosnia what with concrete chunks and lumber scraps and other shizzy everywhere; has been like that for three months now and prolly will be for god knows how much longer. And with the noise/TV issue... wouldn't mind a place with slightly more flexible "noise hours". I dunno tho... thanks for the reminder/perspective, TLG. maybe I got it better'n I think.. should count my blessings. Quote
