Well, I’ll be leaving for Korea in a few days, and even after I return it won’t be too long before I leave this apartment for Texas. So I thought I’d might as well post my thoughts on this apartment.
I LOVE this apartment. This has been simply the best apartment that I have ever lived in (well, that’s not too many, but anyway). First of all, the management seems quite proud of their landscaping crew, and they have every single right to. The apartment complex is beautiful. Very wooded, but doesn’t seem much like a dark, dank forest. I love how the apartment is surrounded by a wall of trees, and if you add the fact that it’s located in some sort of small basin the entire place seems very secure, like a fortified citadel of some sort (I’m exaggerating, I know).
There’s also a lot of birds, and the sounds of them singing is fantastic. Lots of flowers planted throughout, and patches of gardens here and there. The gardens especially make the complex look a lot like a nice park. And last but not least, the two ponds with their share of fish and geese.
The one quibble I have with my (soon to be former) apartment is that it lacks natural light. However, my house is under a huge tree which blocks off a lot of natural light, but doubles as shade during the summer, so I guess I can’t have things both ways. It’s been a fantastic apartment, and I hope to feel the same in Austin.
