What would you do in my current position - A) Property management company that completely messed up the inspection and gave me a townhome in terrible condition. Every single thing with them is a fight to get things fixed but they are doing it slowly but surely. Large space. Rent - 2275, 18 month lease. B) Well run apartment, much smaller unit and less autonomy. Located in a mall, so not super walking friendly. Rent - 2600, 13-15 month lease.

You say option B is well-run but how do you know that? As someone who lived in my fair share of apartments with terrible property management and someone who also once worked in property management (more than a decade ago) for a luxury community, I've been on both sides of the table and seen both ends of the quality spectrum so I'll just advise you to do your due diligence because property teams can suck no matter the price or location. Good luck!

Of course they're nice to you before you sign; that's the only way to get most business. Don't just trust Google reviews, though: most places incentivize residents to complete them within the first few days of moving in (they may say doing so enters them into a chance for a raffle prize or staff will kind of guilt someone saying the person who gets the most Google reviews completed or mentioning their name will get some kind of prize). Look for ones of long-tim residents. Or at least people who have been there a minimum of 3-4 months. Those are more likely to not be in the feel-good moments right after moving into a new place to find they gave you a "welcome gift" of a branded mug and a pool towel.

In a mall is walking friendly... Just not outdoor walking. Honestly, it is weatherproof walking friendly.

Now parking at Christmas? Totally different story.
