Searching for the “Perfect” (Affordable) Apartment

I really have no idea where my daughter will end up living if she moves back to Ottawa later this summer - but, as Terry and I check out potential apartment homes for her, we are getting an education in modern day apartment living.

The apartment we lived in when we first moved to the city was in a low-rise building on a quiet street, not a downtown high rise like this one.

It had a spare bedroom that served as a quiet study space for Terry - who was then a student. Later that room became a baby nursery…

We didn’t concern ourselves with cute coffee shops around the corner…

We looked for bright rooms - but didn’t have to worry about the speed of the internet connection.

Things have certainly changed!

(As an aside, we did go back to our old apartment building, hoping to see a “for rent” sign - but found none…  The “perfect” apartment is never easy to find!)
