We have looked at a nice 50-75 homes within our price range and found nothing that we liked. And, we aren't even that picky! We almost bought one until the inspection went sour due to about 20 raccoons living in the attic of the home. At that point, I looked at my husband and we both sighed and said, "Let's continue to rent and just build a house in a year or so."
Back to my point--rent in Chicago and Dallas on these particular apartments would be much, much higher than the offering currently. We lived in a 600 sq ft loft and paid $950 for it in Dallas and I lived in a 1000 sq ft' apartment in Chicago and paid almost $1400 for it. These are priced correctly for their size and amenities. We also checked out about 6 other apartment homes (in downtown OKC etc.) and they were much more pricey and not near as nice as Providence Place Apartments. The carpets were disgusting, the appliances were old and run-down and the communities are WAY too big and loud. True, possibly in 20 years these guys may not be what they are today, but what is??? If anyone finds "the fountain of youth" please let me get a few drops. ;-)
