I am also moving on my own in July.
Believe me, you WANT to be on the top. You DO NOT want to live under anyone. TRUST ME!! I am too tired to tell about all the bull that we had to put up with living under some folks. Let's just say it's NOT fun. Pay the $20. Hell, pay $50! Just don't stay on the bottom. Also, if you live in a city like I do (which I doubt because we are FAR below sea level
), it FLOODS! It's one thing to get water in your car, but your apartment? Not even gonna happen to me like that...
I am on an apartment hunt!
