Our new apartment is in Park Lane Towers, on the 9th floor. We've gone to the other extreme from living in a basement, I guess. It's got 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a lovely kitchen and balcony. As a matter of fact, here is one of the coolest things about this new apartment: 2 things that I saw from the balcony this morning!
Really, we have an awesome view. It's close to a busy street, though. It's pretty impressive how noisy it still is, even though we're 9 stories in the air. The apartment was rented furnished, so we didn't have to move any of our precariously balanced stuff out of storage. We basically just brought over all of our clothes over the course of a few days, and then we were all moved in! It's great. We can walk to work, or out to dinner, or to a movie. The Saturday farmers market is only 3 blocks away. We have an underground parking space, access to 2 swimming pools, a hot tub, and 2 gathering rooms. Lucille's is right across our parking lot, Avo's is just down the street. There's a coffee shop on my way into work!
There are a couple of down points, I suppose. We're not allowed to have open flames on the balconies, so that means no grills. There are lots of various rules and regulations about conduct and stuff (wear a cover up and footwear on your way to and from the pool! No pizza boxes in the garbage chute!). Things that all make sense or are reasonable; but there sure are a lot of them.
Anyway, here are a couple of other pictures of the apartment. Y'all should all come visit!
