The view from my apartment living room

The view from my apartment living room

I was freaking out about finding an apartment because there were last minute changes and the market was especially competitive as August is the worst time to find an apartment. I was afraid of becoming homeless.

Fortunately, I found another roommate at the last minute, and we found this amazing apartment, at a really good deal in the most desireable neighborhood. Loring Park is the most dense neighborhood in the city and has a park (also named Loring Park) that has pretty much everything in it (Loring Pond, a wading pool, horsehoes, shuffleboard, basketball, tennis, water features, 80% of the city's festivals, etc., etc., etc.).

We're presuming it's such a good deal because it's on the fourth floor and there is no parking (a nightmare in this area). Neither of us have a car, nor do we mind the stairs, and this window faces west and has a spectacular view of the sunset over the park. :-)
