• Virtual Tours – Lots of apartment communities work hard to make their apartments and communities look good and this shows in the pictures and virtual tours they offer through their websites. You can find floor plans, virtual tours and photo galleries online to get an idea of the apartments you considering.
• Neighborhood – Research on the neighborhood surrounding the apartment community you’re looking into. Ask yourself about schools, nearby shopping, recreation areas and other concerns you may have.
• Weather – Check out what the weather is like year round. If it gets really hot make sure the apartment offers A/C and if it gets cold look into heating sources. You can also look at community features during the seasons that allow great outdoor activities like grilling or swimming.
