Does anyone live in the corner facing the fire house? If so any insight on the noise/lights?

I face 6th with a clear sight line to the fire station. There’s really no way to avoid the noise it sometimes creates but if they’ve ever gone out during the wee hours of the night while I’m asleep, I certainly haven’t noticed. If you spend most of your day in your unit, you’re likely to hear them blaring the siren, but they’re in such a hurry, it won’t last more than a few seconds.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm struggling to decide which unit to take.. that corner or the direct opposite where I know the next building will go up.

Thanks!

We will likely be moving in July. What kind of childcare are you looking for? There are a bunch of daycares in the area but many of them are booked or have waiting lists. We are in the process of looking into signing up my son for a daycare. He's 27 months. We may need to supplement daycare with a shared nanny to fill in the gaps for now.

I think we're going to do camp for July and August. May and June might include going out to grandma's and finding a babysitter.

I’m facing 6th and I do worry about the building(s) going up, but they told me that the one one the corner shouldn’t go that high, the building next to it is a different story. Will almost certainly lise my view of the park but hopefully, I’m still getting good light.

Also - frst electric bill came in today, $43
