Current apartment 2780/month: not moving = no brokers fee, brand new sparkly kitchen with new appliances, two parking spots, spacious bonus room, forced air AC, baseboard heating that costs $400+/month in the winter bc of bad insulation, kind of gross bathrooms with some tiles hard to clean/falling out of the walls, lots of small fixer-upper items like replacing curtain rods where the nails seem to be coming out from their holes, etc.

Potential new apartment $3100 and a brokers fee: very well maintained, great sized bedrooms, clean and with one garage parking spot, central air, mid 90’s level kitchen, wall to wall carpet except the kitchen, slightly smaller than option 1

I’m torn. The bad points for our current place are REALLY bad in my opinion. As a neat freak the bathrooms really get to me. But the good points of our current place make me really happy such as the kitchen. I am in love with our current kitchen.

I should note: $400/month by keeping the apartment at nothing higher than 55* every day

Are there no other options?
