I've been in the market for a new apartment. Originally I was looking to move to down town Portsmouth. Why? It's down town, everything is down town. Portsmouth is a beautiful city with a rich history and full of wonderful architecture. It's a very car friendly city with a fair amount of parking at no cost if you know where to look. Now some of you may be rolling your eyes as you think back to your first apartment and how frustrating it was finding it and going through the process of securing it and signing mountains of paperwork. Some of you may be thinking back and saying to yourself gee that was the best, my first apartment. Well my first apartment was an experience I would like to forget. I was overpaying for a small one bedroom in someones house. My landlord wasn't the best although she was very kind and there was this dog that constantly barked all day and night.
Finding an apartment on the seacoast is much easier harder than most places. The major draw back is that the seacoast is prime real estate everything is very expensive. For instance a one bedroom apartment in down town Portsmouth could cost anywhere from $900-1700 without utilities give or take some. You see my frustration? I'm not saying I can't afford a nice place but right now I'm not looking to spend that much. I think the idea of living with someone else that you can have fun with is great. Not to mention how nice it is to split the rent.
That said a few weeks ago I was visiting a good high school of mine at UNH and we got to talking. Long and short of it she asked me to move in with her. She was part of a group of 5 people whom I almost all know and love. I was so excited for the opportunity to move in with a bunch of friends that I went on a shopping spree...small shopping spree.
Now almost 4 weeks later I just put down a security deposit on this gorgeous 3 story house in down town Dover. This house is just darling. It's older like classic New England old but I love that. The kitchen is all updated with new appliances. There are 2 bathrooms both with showers and 1 with a claw foot tub! Can anyone say the best winter tubs!? All the rooms are fairly good sized at least suitable for me which can be a pretty tall order to fill. There is a big back yard with a fire pit and a driveway for 3 cars. This house even has a bar with a built in kegerator with beer tap. This house is so perfect and I'm just ecstatic!
P.S.
There will be pictures coming soon!
