Appreciate you watching!

I am also a toilet paper rolls over person. Found out from a parent that doing it under means kids and cats don’t undo the whole roll rolling it over 😅

Glad to have you in the TP roll over club 😄 And ahh, that is interesting. I had not thought about it like that - mostly because I have neither - but that’s smart!

I watched this thinking this was rent in Singapore but stayed because this is actually inspiring in a sense - for aesthetics, styles, and stuff. Thanks as well for your thoughts regarding renting v owning.

Well I really appreciate you staying to watch. And you're welcome. That is a topic I like to research and talk about, and planning on diving into that more in future videos.

Super cool place! Right now I’m in a 1300 sq ft place, but there are 2 of us in here. I’d like to go smaller. I live in Portland, OR and we love going up to Seattle. Make sure you’re good with a lot of rain haha

Thank you! That’s about the size and of the condo I had before renting again. I feel like that is a good amount of space for two people. Not huge but enough to have some of your own space too. How small do you think the two of you could go and still be comfortable? Haha yeah I feel ya. Honestly, I just went to Seattle for about a week and a half and I was really starting to dig the moody, rainy days. Definitely enjoyed them more than a rainy day in St. Louis, mostly due to the walkability of Seattle.

Bathrooms amazing trust me 10/10 would shit there again!

😆 my toilet has since started therapy because of you.

Where is the desk from? I would love a workspace/entertainment center breakdown. Sincerely, thanks for this. I got my first apartment this past year and I've been on my own in figuring out how to make a space that is comfortable for work and relaxation but minimal enough to make organization and future moves easy.

The desk is a Husky desk from Home Depot. And I’m glad it was helpful! That’s actually going to be my next video I’m in the process of shooting still. I’ll do a whole breakdown of this setup and links to everything. Took some time this past week with holiday stuff/visiting with family, so I’ll be posting probably next Tuesday or Wednesday.

That bathroom is huge compared to mine.

Agreed, it is ridiculous compared to the overall size of the apartment. But having the bigger shower has been pretty nice.

Seattle is great, but if you do move there, your car will be more of a burden. My sister lives up in Seattle while I live in LA, and while her monthly rent is $400 more than mine, she saves a lot from not paying for gas/insurance/etc. If you like the PNW and your car, I would recommend somewhere like Spokane, WA.

Thanks for the insight. Does she live in a bigger apartment complex in the city? I ask because some of the places I’ve been looking at have parking garages attached (I don’t know what the additional monthly charge is for that yet). And thanks for the tip about Spokane.

Nice apartment 👍 But it’s seriously lacking in natural light.

@flonought

7 ай бұрын

Thanks! And this was shot at night which is why it looks like there's no natural light. The natural light is usually pretty good from all the windows in the living room/kitchen area. I'm posting a video tomorrow about my desk setup and you'll be able to see more daylight (although it was somewhat cloudy that day as well when I recorded).

In Seattle an apartment that size could be upwards of 2,000 a month (not including utilities or parking, if any is even available) depending on the area of the city. I have seen 150 sq ft apartments with shared kitchens going for 1,000. It is miserable living in a space that small. 540 sq ft is honestly pretty huge by my standards. But then again, I have always lived with 3-5 roommates + me sharing like 1200 - 1500 sq ft, so who am I to talk

@flonought

7 ай бұрын

Agreed, 540 sqft feels pretty big. I would say this is on the smaller side in STL, but I am by no means looking for this size in Seattle. I’ve been researching different areas and from the places I’ve saved it’s been anywhere from 250 to 450 sqft. I’m looking to stay under around $1500 (before utilities and all that stuff), but there seems to be a good amount of options. Do you live in Seattle currently? If so, are there any areas you like?

@@flonought I do live in Seattle. I personally prefer more of central Seattle, but this area tends to be very chaotic, and isn't for everyone. West Seattle is nice and relatively inexpensive. It also feels more residential with still lots of stuff to do

@@CarbonAndBadTiming I appreciate the insights. Follow up for you, what's your favorite and least favorite thing about living in Seattle?

@CarbonAndBadTiming

@@flonought favorite: the culture. It is a very progressive accepting place. Seattle tries it's best to be accessible to disabled, queer and trans, and other minorities (although there is a surprising lack of racial diversity in a lot of areas). Big Deaf community too. There are a lot of resources and a lot of things to do. The public transportation system is not ideal, but it is usable. 2 of my current roommates rely on busses and walking for everything. Least favorite is the price. Housing, groceries, going out, all ridiculously expensive. There aren't a lot of "third places" that you can go hang out at without feeling obligated to spend money. Minimum wage is pretty high but definitely not livable. Lots of job opportunities in Seattle and also in surrounding cities. Big tech place, lots of people work from home. Overall it's a great place to live. Definitely has it's ups and downs, but I really enjoy it here.

⁠​⁠@@CarbonAndBadTimingthanks so much for taking the time to write that. That is helpful, and I appreciate the details. Seattle sounds like a great place to be. But yes, I have read about how expensive it is. I think compared to STL I read something like 25 to 30% more expensive. Still my top choice though when trying to imagine myself moving/living somewhere new.

are apartments expensive where you are ? I know here in South Carolina the average is around $1600 for about 1000sq ft or a lil less

I lived on James Island SC around 2014 and yes the rent is far cheaper in SC compared to STL even today.

They definitely can be. This is a newer building with more amenities (gym, pool, movie theater room, pool table room, etc.) but it can get pricier than this for sure. You can also find cheaper in STL without all the extras or not quite as new of a building.
