A Place of My Own

When young men enter the age of adulthood, they crave independence. I was no exception to the rule. On my 21st birthday, I wanted to start my life as a strong man. I saw other men my age making power moves and moving up in the world. Unfortunately, I was not making the same process. I knew that I would not grow as a person if I lived with my parents forever. I looked for apartments in Jacksonville Fl. I needed a place to call my own.

I love my parents dearly. They have done so much for me. I am will forever be grateful for the sacrifices they have made for me. They kept food on my table and clothes on my back, even though I did not always appreciate it. My parents had a tendency to be a bit overprotective at times in my life. I think this caused me to miss out on very important times in my life. When I turned thirty, I thought that the routine was played out. As long as I lived under my parents’ roof, I would have to abide by their rules.

Another reason that I wanted my own place was because my social life was on the rocks. Most of my friends had places of their own. They were able to entertain their friends and girlfriends anytime they wanted. I was hard for me to have a relationship with a woman while still living with my parents. It was very awkward. Most women preferred men with their own place.

I found the perfect apartment. It is spacious and has everything that I want in a pad. I am finally my own man. I now have the independence that I once craved in the past. I am no longer dependent on my parents for my basic survival.

Finding Luxury Apartments in Jacksonville FL That Are Affordable Was Easy

I was used to a nice little neighborhood growing up. We lived on a street that looped around the homes and back out to the main road. There was so little traffic that we played in the street. My wife was actually my neighbor growing up. When we got married we searched for luxury apartments in Jacksonville FL. We wanted to live in the same type of community we were used to. We were just getting started, so we had to keep our rent in mind even though we wanted a little luxury. We found a nice place at Pelican Pointe and signed a lease right away.

We drove through the apartment plan and it reminded us of home. The streets circle around and there is a cul de sac turnaround on each end. The apartments are low-lying duplex home apartments. This is not a big square building. This is like having your own home on a nice piece of property. We like the fenced patio and the floor plan of our place. We also like not having to pay for all kinds of stuff that we will not use. There is no swimming pool or room filled with treadmills. We do not need a fitness center that we would not use anyway.

Lots of properties now have these community spaces that kick up the rent costs. Who uses that stuff anyway? We work and want to come home and relax in a nice place. This is what we got when we were looking for luxury apartments in Jacksonville FL. The savings on the monthly rent makes me smile every time I pay it. We never thought we would be able to get a place like this at such and affordable rent. We plan on staying here for a long time. We are very comfortable.

A Nice Apartment in a Great Neighborhood

I started looking at apartments for rent in Daytona Beach Florida as soon as I found out my husband was in the running to be a manager at a new distribution center opening up there. We were both pretty sure he was going to get it, and we knew that we were going to have to act quickly if he was hired for it. We had decided that we would look at apartments only until we got a feel for the area. We could then decide if we wanted to make the jump from living in an apartment to becoming homeowners there.

We have two daughters, so I wanted to make sure that the apartments that we looked at were upscale. This is not because we are snobs. We are the most down to earth people around! Rather, it is because our daughters are everything to us, and we wanted them to live in a safe neighborhood and attend a school district that is better than the ones around it. It did not take me long to figure out which area that would be, so I started looking at apartments there.

I found a really nice three bedroom place at The Estates of Countryside Apartments. We definitely need three bedrooms so the girls can have their privacy, so I was happy to see that there were two floor plans there. We showed both to the girls to see if they had a preference, and they really liked the one where their rooms and bathroom were on one side, and ours was on the other. Their small streak of independence even before they were teens made me smile! When my husband was offered the position, it did not take us long to make the proper arrangements to rent the apartment we had all picked out.
