My apartment is 3560. There's no dining room area. There's a living room but you have to include your kitchen set in the living room. The kitchen doesn't include a eating area. I think all the apartments are made small. I've noticed that most affordable newly constructed buildings are made small.

Tomorrow I'll be signing my lease, but I am going to find out if any one bedrooms are available to see if I can look at it to see the difference. I dont see where I can upload pictures because I would. Even with everything I will be taking the unit regardless if I cant get a bigger one bedroom unit. These apartment are made small, which is absurd.
Did you ever had the chance to see another apartment?

As for me, I received an email from Wavecrest a couple weeks ago containing a notification that my application had been selected. I was advised of the list of documents that I need to bring for my interview this Friday.

However I had some preliminary questions that you guys might be able to provide some insight on. First, I am a city employee and am assuming that the 5% preference paid off. Do you think that I will be receiving a unit or be placed on a waiting list? Also, I am not entirely educated on this housing program. Are all units rent-stabilized? And as far as the household size, what is the system of determining how lives in the unit after move-in? Did management give you any insight as to how strict they are regarding that?

Again, any insight is greatly appreciated. I visited the property on Saturday on my own time and was able to check out the interior and exterior of the building. It looks like a hotel inside with the layout of the hallways. Everything entirely new. And quiet neighbors across the street...

Thanks everyone. Happy Monday
Hey the give you a list of things they don't want in the apartment, no animals. The building is not full up as yet you have a pretty good chance of getting it.

I don't think it would be a problem I didn't even have a bank account so you should be okay.
