Home Sweet Home

I've lived in a great apartment in midtown for the last 4 years.  This is the longest I have lived in one place since I was 15 years old.  Recently there was the possibility that I was going to have to move, however that has since been resolved and I will definitely be staying in my apartment for now. When faced with the possibility of moving and then finding out I would be staying, I now have an even deeper love for my place of residence.  Here's my fav list for my apartment:

• Beautiful hardwood floors
• Fan in the dining room
• Cute teal tile in the bathroom
• Gas oven/stove in the kitchen
• Gas heater in the living room works like a charm and takes only 20 minutes to heat my whole place
• A/C in the bedroom is right where I want it when it's an 80 degree night
• No roommates (except my cute kitties)
• Cat policy has always been "don't ask don't tell" (all the tenants have cats)
• Cable is free
• Trash pick-up is free
• Water is free
• Wifi provided by the owners
• Rent is cheap compared to the rest of the greater Sacramento area
• Connected parking garage is safe
• Maintenance issues are fixed within a day or 2
• Huge windows in the living and dining room face east so I get great morning sun
• 2nd floor means I do not look at another building or fence out my front windows
• Apartment manager is friendly and lives in the complex
• Mailbox is 20 steps from my door
• Gated complex (keeps out the majority of the crazies)
• Walking distance to countless parks, restaurants, bars and coffee shops
• Coin laundry onsite
• Landscaping is well maintained
• Excellent water pressure in the shower
• Have never needed to use a plunger on my toilet (don't even own one)
• Trees right outside my living room window bloom with the most gorgeous pink blossoms in late summer
• All my bedroom furniture fits in the bedroom
• Safeway within 1 mile
• Gym within 1 mile
• Easy access to all major freeways
• 15 minutes from airport

Thank God I get another year!!
