We have gone from living in a black-mold-infested, hell-hole to living in what I consider paradise, and ironically the rent is only 300 dollars more. The new Davidson, North Carolina apartment is beyond gorgeous. It’s everything I have ever wanted in a living place:
- Overgrown with mature gree trees, every window is a real nature painting
- Surrounded by manicured gravel paths
- Incredibly safe neighborhood surrounded by upper-middle-class suburbs
- On my favorite lake with free paddleboard slips
- Friendly families and Davidson college student neighbors
- Patio big enough for yoga, storing my bikes, and testing camping gear
- Electronic combo lock entry so no key to lose
- Equal walking distance to both major Davidson event locations
- One block from Hurt Hub (coworking, linux meetups) and Ignite (for autistic son)
- One mile from great gravel trails and about three miles from flowy single-track
- 60 miles from uptown Charlotte making biking to Critical Mass easily doable
- One mile from “Goblin Route” so no need to drive to start location
- No yard to keep up whatsoever
- Lakeview barbeque locations and picnic areas
- Community firepit for fall campfires
- No more unexplainable resipitory problems
- No carpets whatsoever, all vinyl easily cleaned and dusted
- A tub that has enough hot water to be filled without turning lukewarm
- A much better layout making entertaining guests much easier
- Plenty of room for family to live and prosper after college
- A living space to be proud of and have multiple friends over to visit and party (finally)
- Cheap enough to have monthly money left over to pay down debts and save for UDNB Summer living
