When I was searching for a new apartment, I was overwhelmed by the arenas to choose from and how competitive it was.
Despite having hundreds of apartments available, there were a lot of other people trying to find an apartment and as things were tense.
I would see an apartment I loved only for it to be rented to someone else before the day was even over! At one point, I felt like I was grasping at straws and simply trying to get anything because I was running out of time. I ended up getting an apartment that was small however in a wonderful area. As I was moving in, I discovered things that I hadn’t noticed before. The floors throughout the apartment were heated! The landlord had completely renovated the apartment a few years prior and she had radiant heat added underneath the floors as an expensive touch, and she knew that her children would live in the apartment one day, which was why she made a lavish investment to add the radiant flooring. This was lucky for me. The town where I was residing experienced rough Winter seasons, so the radiant heated flooring would be a nice touch. I knew I couldn’t afford to keep the heat on all day long, however it would be really nice to know the warmth on some of the coldest, bitterest afternoons. I really lucked out with this apartment because I don’t know anyone else with radiant flooring in their apartments within my budget.
