NWR: Apartment hunting-repost
Sorry but this is kind of long......
So FH and I have been going back and forth on where we are going to live after the wedding. We were all gung ho about moving to South Carolina cause its beautiful and a lot more relaxing than NY. I was thinking about teaching after I'm done with grad school and he is in the Networking Admin field. Plus my parents have a beautiful house down there and offered to let us stay there until we figure out what to do about housing. Well.....................
I won't be done with school until fall of '09 cause I can't take summer courses cause of work and I will not cram my schedule to be finished by my wedding day. Plus I just got a promotion so I think I'm gonna stick around in NY for awhile. Well FH is adamant on having a house when we get married but I see no point in going thriugh the trouble if we don't plan on staying in NY for too long. It's not like we are buying a bike. A house is a big commitment. But of course we don't want to spend the same amt for a mortage on rent every month!
Soooooo I have started looking around at apartment complexes on LI like Hawthorne Ct in Commack and Avalon in Smithtown and Glen Cove and wanted to know if anyone has any advice on where to start looking and what I should know or expect. I think once I get some info FH will understand where I am coming from. We will still save up for the house but I think next year will be too soon and we will be cutting it close financially.
I live in Huntington and work in the city, FH lives in Westbury and works in Melville-but hates his job (poor thing). Soo any advice on where to go would be great.
Thanks in advance ladies and sorry for rambling.
