Apartment living may be cool compared to living with your parents or in the dorm but when you’re a full fledged adult it is a string of unpleasant surprises from noise and cooking odors to shadowy renters encouraged by Airbnb, sublets and no security deposit offers. Here are just some of the challenges presented by apartment living.
If you are lucky enough to own a car, you may need a shuttle—and a visa—to get from the building’s parking lot to your apartment’s front door. Good luck with your kitty litter and bags of ice. If the apartment has no off street parking, you will be working a second job known as circling the block looking for parking. Ditto for any friends who want to visit you.
