smashweights Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I live over in Grove City at Gateway Lakes. My 2br is $645/mo. and garages (which i assume are a must for you) are $50/mo. The apts are nice and absolutely anything shopping or dining-wise is right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Stay away from anything managed by Triangle. Also maybe someone on OR would consider having a roommate. Might be worth it and both of you save some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think I've looked at every apartment within 8 miles of campus... it feels like it at least. On Bethel, I found one place that I was considering called LaMans or something like that... they have a pool, some green space, and some interesting shaped apartments for $595 with heat, ac, water included.I am seriously considering moving to Watermark (I think that's what its called) off of 670 in Grandview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Watermark is ~$650-$700 for a 1 bedroom, which is a lot, but its a newer complex and its got pools and a fitness center and whatnot...What kind of place are you looking for? There so many different kinds of places...Are you looking more for location, amenities, space, neighborhood?I've always been a space snob. I want a place with lots of storage and something interesting going on with the floorplan, so that's kinda what I look for.There's Acropolis off of Henderson that's about $500 a month and its not a terrible floor plan...Idk, I'm still lookin, so if you want to take a drive and look around apartments and want some company, I might be up for it, plus I could give you the grand tour of the apts i've already looked at and cut a lot of it down for ya.

flounder Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I live in grandview and there are a ton of apts in this area for a reasonable price. The watermark off 670 isnt bad if you want to live in a community style complex. I live in the grandview neighborhood area and there are a ton of apts everywhere. Whodey lives close as well. Since you dont know where grandview is, its about 1.2-2 miles from downtown same distance from campus and same distance from campus to downtown.For example, I have a 2 bedroom about 1000sq ft with a garage and a basement and I pay 715 a month. I used to pay 650. There are other apts in the area for the same price, cheaper, more expensive etc. Let me know if your interested in more info. Same to you OSUMJ since your looking as well.

EagleCock Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 correct. no longer neighbor with flounder sucks leaving that area but now I have garage and we don't have to hide our 2 dogs from the landlords grandview is a cool place to live. here's how I'd break it down:positives = close to downtown & all the action; nothing sucks worse than suburb bars. neighborhood feel. hardwood floors. cheap rent$. close to OSU campus and no barf in your front yard every morning. crime is rare.negatives = your building will probably not have central air + garbage disposal + dishwasher; you might get 2 of the 3. hard to find garages. you are lucky to find landlord who allows 1 dog, impossible to find one who will let you have 2 dogs.honestly, I like grandview and I would move back but it would have to be in a house. apartment hunting down there is best to just drive around and write down phone # from the for sale signs; many aren't advertised online. the people who do find a "perfect" apartment in grandview usually stay there for a long time too since it's rare to get everything you want at a fair price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 +1 on grandview. Its the best place inside 270 for a single guy and every corner of Columbus is within 15 minutes. I had a 1 brm apt. with central air and a dishwasher and a 2 1/2 car garage for $550, but that was 99-01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 The street that whodey lived on he is absolutely right about the air and garage. Most apts in that area have carports. However, Where Im at, most all the apts have garages and the ones the dont, still have carports. I would say its a 50/50 split on garages/carports and every apt around my area has AC. As far as dishwashers go, yeah I dont have one and I cant answer about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've got a dishwasher and coffee maker now, but I have to elbow her in the morning to get the coffee started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
