After debating the benefits of a super-trendy hood against the perks of a pimped-out apartment, we've decided to go with the place in Prospect Park South. Firstly, I'm sure that when January rolls around, we'll appreciate having laundry in the basement, draft-free windows, and a brand new heating system. And it will be nice to eat our meals at an actual kitchen table instead of conducting all of our operations from the futon. But what really made us ditch hipsterville was the realization that, if we're actually going to be paying rent and utilities for the next year, we won't be able to chill out in trendy bars and restaurants every weekend. Living on a budget means ditching the daily iced soy chai latte, so why bother living across the street from a super-hip coffee shop? Moving to a neighborhood with more essentials than indulgences will definitely be friendlier on the wallet.
So we're applying for a lease and hoping to get that squared away pretty soon. Third time's a charm?
