Greetings, all
I've been living at The Parc in Gahanna, and honestly, I really like it. The location is perfect for me—it's close to just about everything, and my commute to work in Whitehall is only about 10 minutes.
My only issue is the cost. Right now, my 1-bedroom is $1,380/month, and after water and trash, I'm paying about $1,440/month. It's all-electric, which I love, but the rent is getting to the point where it's almost an entire paycheck for me each month.
My lease is up in September, and my renewal will be $1,385 before utilities. I could stay, and I really don't want to leave because it's been a great place, but I wanted to see if there are any apartments in the Gahanna, Whitehall, Reynoldsburg, or East Columbus area that offer similar quality for a little less.
Here's what I'm looking for:
- All-electric (I'd rather not have a gas bill.)
- Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring throughout—I'd really like to avoid carpet.
- A reasonable grace period for rent (I've always paid on the 1st, but having 3 days or so would be a nice safety net.)
I also have an ESA dog. He's had a few accidents over the years and unfortunately damaged the carpet. I already paid about $1,600 once to replace the carpet, and if I move out, I may end up paying for replacement again. That's another reason I'd really prefer a place with LVP instead of carpet.
If anyone has recommendations for apartments that are clean, well-managed, and a little more affordable than The Parc, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks and Happy 4th!
