Wonder of Wonders...

...miracle of miracles?

I have an apartment - lease signed, fees paid, keys in pocket, can move in any time, apartment. I paid a high premium for the privilege, but then I got a nice 1 bedroom in a great neighborhood, and feel none the worse for it in the end.

My address is - or will be, once I file the forms with the PO:
238 W. 72nd St. Apt. 3B
New York, NY 10023

Or, here's a Google Map.

Dude.

haha kick ass...way to reveal sensitive personal info about yourself to the world $ *huggle*

on that note, why doesn't my house have a camera next to it? it's a total landmark $

I've put up google maps before, and I've put my last 4 addresses and 3 phone numbers on LJ without anything happening, so I'm not that worried.

Rocking!

Does this mean you're coming to New Years? :)

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Well...I want to, I really do. But I've crunched the numbers over and over and checked all the air lines and discount flight places, and it just can't be done. I can't afford it, and it'll cost $250 minimum, which is a lot. Since I'm really freaking out about money right now...I think I have to stay home. :( I'm sad about it, though.

So I'm curious, how much is a 1BR in New York in that neighborhood cost?

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. A whole, whole lot. My rent is $2150 a month.

I think I'm gonna be sick. HOLY $H!T!

Haha, your apt is near my office. So when are you planning on moving in? I'll be glad to help out :-)

[unforth.livejournal.com]

As soon as possible; my lease already started, and I'll start living there as soon as I can transport my stuff.

[ultimabaka.livejournal.com]

wooo...super secret business project? sounds sexy...I would love to hear about it

[unforth.livejournal.com]

I know what it is, and can say it probably wouldn't interest you. But it is pretty awesome nonetheless.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, sooper sekrit project. I'll take a look in the morning first thing. ;)

[khaoskitty.livejournal.com]

Very nice. I'm glad things worked out.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Woot! Fantastic news.

So, what are the details? Is it a 1 bedroom? Dishwasher? W/D? Walk-up? Nice view? Close to your favorite bagel shop? Close to the subway? Close to your mom?

[unforth.livejournal.com]

1 bedroom 3rd floor walk up with pretty much no view it all. It is close to all three of those things, though - less than .5 miles to the bagel, a block to the subway, and about three quarters of a mile (or two train stops) to my mom. It has neither a w/d or a dishwasher - neither are standard features in NYC apartments, though, so that's unsurprising. Doesn't even come with a microwave, just a stove and fridge/freezer. The kitchen is sadly small, but the cabinets and fixtures are new which is nice. It's got high ceilings, hard word floors, and lots of lovely closet space. Once I find the cable for my camera I'll upload some pictures. :)

I randomly walked to 72nd and Columbus Ave. a year or so ago, so it's cool that I know what your new neighborhood looks like, sort of. Sounds like a fun place to live!!
