When it’s time to search for the perfect apartment to call home, there’s no surefire way to make the best choice. However, creating a checklist of criteria that are important to you before you start searching for available apartments is a great idea. Here are some of the most important factors to consider:

Location

Even the most beautiful and comfortable apartment won’t make you happy if you have to drive too far to work or school and there’s nothing fun to do in the immediate vicinity. Whether you’re planning to move across town or across the globe, you’ll want to look for available apartments that are located near the shopping, dining, and recreational venues you enjoy most. If you have children, you’ll want to ask about the quality of the schools they would attend for each apartment you’re considering.

Size

In many apartment communities, units are available with one, two, or even three bedrooms, as well as laundry rooms, dens, and walk-in closets. Some people have little need for extra space and don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning a large apartment, while others need extra bedrooms for family members and frequent guests. At One 51 Place in Alachua, Florida, for example, we have luxury apartments with up to three bedrooms, and our friendly staff will be happy to discuss your needs and tell you about the apartments we have available.
