Apartment Living

I love apartment living.  This is the first time I have ever lived in a complex, and to be honest, I was a little hesitant before we moved in.  Living in a house, what other people so doesn't really effect you. Living in an apartment building, others actions do impact your life.  For instance, I always worry about what would happen if my neighbor's apartment caught on fire.   

The good outweighs my worries, though.  I love that the kids have somewhere to play outside, and that their friends are just one door away. Brandi's after school babysitter lives in our building, so it's easy for Kasi to walk and get her when she gets home.  I like that I have made friends with my neighbors as well.  

I would recommend apartment living to anyone.  Did you know that overseas, they call apartments flats? I'm not sure why, but there are beautiful Flats to rent in Glasgow as well as Flats to rent in Edinburgh. I would love to be able to spend some time overseas, and it would make sense to find Flats to rent in Aberdeen instead of spending a fortune on a hotel stay.  I mean, if I were to ever go, it would be for a long time. Maybe a few months.  I think it would be interesting to experience life in a country other than my own.

Unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever get there.  For me, a vacation is probably going to be a weekend stay at a local hotel.

It all depends on what kind of neighbors you have. I'm glad things are working out for you!!!!

Living in apartments like one bedroom apartments in atlanta ga would mean having neighbors who can help you keep an eye on your children when they're in the apartment community. So, I think it's great that renters like you have made friends with your neighbors!
