which apartment should i get

apartment 1 monthly cost - $1530 680 sqft, pool facing

apartment 2 monthly cost - $1671 720 sqft, facing openness (not downtown or anything fun)

both in the lower heights area

apartment 2 is slightly bigger and has much more amenities (pool tables, lounge areas etc) but apartment 1 is on the top floor while apartment 2 is on the fourth.

:/ thoughts?

i make around $105k for context

Not sure if OP like to be quiet, just want to point out the pool area tend to get crowded and loud during summer times (also top floor is great until summer months when it’s HOT outside)

Do you think the rent is high for OP’s salary?

If it’s a midrise, make sure to consider hearing your neighbors who are above you.. most annoying thing at my apartment now. I’m on 5th floor out of 7 and I hear the person above me at the worst hours.

You can ask. Guarantee the property manager knows.

Lower heights apartments are normally happening places, you can find the party anywhere but I would want a peaceful retreat to escape to. Better amenities + not hearing drunk idiots at the pool at 2am sounds like a win to me.

That’s what I’m saying, both apartments will be popular spots I’d pick the one less noisy and peaceful (seemed like option 2 was)

What EY1 said. Apartment 2 is the choice I would make. Major reason: Its not on top floor. When I was staying at a Houston native’s airbnb while searching apts - she specifically said don’t take top floor. The ac bills gets considerably higher during summer.

I’ve got a 2200 sq ft townhouse that I lease in the heights for less than that. I need to reevaluate 🤔

I'll make a competitive bid for it lol
