Key is to not get an apartment during the summer/early fall due to college city upcharging

that's always been my understanding in this city, but i dunno, man, last november i was trying to help a new colleague find a place to live in the city and shit was WILD. i remember in particular this bullshit third floor walkup two-bedroom in east rock that was basically a half-assedly refurbished attic with some partitions. the "kitchen" was mainly an old stove sort of randomly placed in a room, there was no kitchen counter at all. they wanted $2500. it had been snapped up within a week. i think you got pretty lucky, and i'm glad for you. i find these kinds of posts so deeply anxiety-inducing these days.

What I find odd is my place was a recent renovation listed for like 2 months. They had to reduce the price twice (originally was 2200)

wow. honest to god that would make me nervous. were there any, like, chalk outlines on the livingroom floor? bloody gloves under the sink? does a shrieking wraith appear in the bathroom mirror at midnight? it's gotta be something.
