It can be hard to find a place to live, but, have you tried online? That's the only way I do it, now. You can "visit" hundreds of properties in a matter of minutes, just make a list of what you need, and, stick to it. Don't even look at places that don't have what you need. I can usually narrow my search down to five apartments and then go out and drive and check the places out. Like for me, I'd rather have a fitness center on the property than a washer and dryer in my apartment. Going to a laundromat is a heck of a lot cheaper than having to pay for a gym membership. And, I always have to find a place that allows a 60 pound dog. Those are things that are important to me, and, everyone is obviously different. But, the internet has been a great source for searching for homes, at least in my experience. Good luck!
