Apartment hunting around the triangle
Hello r/triangle folks! I'm headed down to the triangle for a new job in December and hoping to get some opinions on apartment complexes OR learn if anyone knows how to find a home for rent by owner- please share!
I am planning to check out:
Avalon Perimeter Park
District Station
Elevate Brier Creek
Sinclair Cary
My main concern is roaches.
I have been in the trenches fighting German roaches in my current work place and very concerned about possible infestations in large apartment complexes. PLEASE share if you know of any compromised buildings or otherwise red flags.
I was able to tour NOVEL Morrisville and Broadstone Trailside, but didn't love them. I'm pretty introverted and can't imagine using all the amenities like co-working space or a clubhouse. If there are any other good suggestions in a <30 min commutable distance for a 1 or 2 bedroom under $1800/mo I am grateful for any and all input!
FRBO is the dream:
The last time I moved for work I got really lucky and lived on the second floor of a house for rent by the owner. I really liked this setup and would love to rent from the owner or a small property management company again. If anyone has a reputable source for this besides Zillow, I would be happy to hear from you! I am a single person with no pets (allergies) and very clean (positive letter of reference from my previous landlord).
Thank you in advance! This subreddit seems very friendly and gives me some reassurance about relocating to a nice community!
