Seriously, move home! Three was lovely. Absolutely no excuse for crap in the toilet from the LAST tenant. Who was it? Cousin Eddy?! 😂😂 Great video Nicole. Take care darling xx
I did the same walk throughs with my daughter. I always asked about safety. I asked the person showing us if they would feel comfortable having a family member live there. If the response was stumbling around like you had it was a no go. I did however come across a person showing that said, " you know I don't live in this area but I have been working for this company for a while and I really like how they run their business and she said, I would check with the surrounding neighbors. Maybe introduce yourself and get a feel if it's a right feel for you.....ding ding right answer. She never directly answered the question but I felt that her response was truthful and genuine. We did talk to residents that were walking around and ultimately decided on that apartment. It didn't have everything updated inside but it was cleaned and obviously taken care of.
Hi Nicole I noticed but it’s not obvious on video. All I see is a gorgeous mom with her wonderful daughter. You are so alike. Especially your laughs. This whole process is scary. Please be safe Maddy. Every night before you go to bed always “LOCK” your sliding glass door to the veranda. Put a long thin stick in the door slide behind the door too.
Our kids all own their own homes now (of course they are a lot older than yours lol) but, back when they rented, it was half that price down here in Oklahoma. the cost of living these days is completely ridiculous
Wow! Loved the video! OK, I had to laugh! I honestly, did not notice the “blemish” on the nose, until you mentioned it…. Lol! And then, I actually had to look for it, once you mentioned it!! And then, it was not that obvious to me… Lol! I was so laughing, because you all are so funny!! In a good way, I have to say… lol! Anyways, if apartments cannot explain their security plan, then that is a huge red flag for me. I enjoyed this video -you all are hysterically Funny! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you! We relate more than you know.😍🤪🤣
Yeah, here in VA where we are $1400 may get you a room in someone’s home or a studio if you’re lucky. It’s interesting to me how vast the cost of living can be all over our nation.
Some great apartments for sure. Up here in Toronto, Ontario for a 3 bedroom, 1 and a half washrooms, 2 parking spots and 2 storage lockers is around $1,300.00. Thats a good deal. The newer renovated apartments are $2,500
I loved this vlog!! Take us again if she looks some more! It was fun to see what is out there! 🥰 I hope she finds something that she loves and is safe for her.
A relative of mine rents a loft apartment in Minneapolis that is $2800 a month. I’ve only ever seen pics of it and have no idea what neighborhood it’s in, but that is 5 times more than my mortgage here in Western Pennsylvania. Good luck, Maddy! Whichever one you choose, you and your mama will pretty it up!
People are so shallow! I get blemishes in my wrinkles now…. I recommend the Mario Badescu spot treatment. Pretty much clears it up overnight! It seems expensive but it lasts forever.
The safety question is one that is tricky. You are trained not to say anything that implies security because if something happen. Not only could the leasing consultants but also the management and owners can be sued. People have won major lawsuits where safety was assured and things happened. The risk of liability is something they stress. So if you say something to one, you have to say it to everyone or you personally can be sued.
They should give them a legal-approved sheet with what the building does to promote safety or something! So they have a better answer than “Google it” which is what the fire lady said lol!
@NicoleNorthgardenHomeandGarden , that's just rude. I would let her manager know. Especially if it's the one who showed you an apartment that was not show ready. That person is not a good employee. I was in property management for over 25 years. Everyone knows you do not show a home that's not show ready. It's shows that the person doesn't care about their job nor the success of their community. This is just my opinion, though.🙂
So funny, I’m 64 and every now and then, I have something brewing on my face. Pimple, cold sore, something burned off by Dermatologist. If it’s pretty noticeable, I introduce it to anyone who looks at it. Like… I’m sorry, I didn’t want to be rude, but I’d like to introduce you to Ralph. He’s just visiting for a week or two. ☺️
Do they charge extra for parking? Are the areas safe to walk? Consider returning in the evening. I didn't like sliding glass doors for my girls. Tempting to have only screen door locked and leave it open in the evening.
It’s crazy out there. My son chose an apartment in the old RCA factory building in Camden, New Jersey. We weren’t aware at the time that Camden had the highest murder rate in the US.😳😳😳 Later, after a scary experience, he switched to indoor parking, too. Live and learn. You’d think they’d stop getting carpet and put in better floors so you could stop getting the carpet cleaned. I’m not sure I could take my shoes off. But poop, yuck!
I live in an apartment complex in the west side of bloomington (MN) and was paying $1100 for my one bedroom (1205 after fees and garage parking space) I’m transferring to a 2 bed at the same complex for $1468 (will be a bit more after fees)
Prices are comparable to the suburbs east of Phoenix. My daughter and her roommate have a two bedroom for $1600, with a year lease. Month to month would have been $2400. I remember back in 1999 I had a nice one bedroom for $400 a month!
I’m in NY so $1400 for a 1br in a building is considered cheap! Sad but true. The building reps that couldn’t answer safety questions need a script to follow. I’m thinking they fear someone will take their answer as possible discrimination, especially if an area is not so desirable due to safety/crime concerns. Good luck!
I used to live in Richfield and the East Bloomington. I worked in Edina. I enjoyed it. Today, you couldn’t pay me enough to move to the cities. Nobody can guarantee the safety of another. They can tell you it’s a security building, but they can’t protect you against the threat from an unknown third party. It’s impossible. Safety is the responsibility of the individual. That being said, avoid the obvious bad neighborhood. Good luck. Apartments seem rather similar as they all are. I’d look for individual laundry in each apartment. I’d avoid the common laundry area. At least you can find an apartment. In Duluth you’d be lucky to find a nice place under $2K and it would be small. My nephew just rented a little place for $1150. It’s a miracle. It’s near the College of St Scholastica so there will be students. I pretty much guarantee he’ll be moving again once he familiarizes himself with the city. Maybe not. Maybe he’ll love it. I always try to find a place close to my employer. Sometimes I buy, sometimes rent. I may sell my place in the not too distant future. It’s just far more than I require. I will miss the yard.
Hi Nicole, I was surprised that rent was that inexpensive there. We were just looking at apartments for my Daughter last weekend and in Las Vegas a two bedroom was $2000.00 and up. I hope you have luck finding a nice apartment in a good area. Safety is important. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
My best friend was in Vegas for years and the COL did rise rapidly but she was paid more than she was here in minnesota. People are always like “IT’S SO CHEAP” but the pay reflects it. She was paying $1400 for a one bedroom in Vegas and $1000 in MN but the percentage of her pay was almost exactly the same. The Vegas apt was nicer too. Had washer/dryer in unit , dishwasher, gym in building and she doesn’t have those amenities here. It’s not like she was able to move and keep her same wage. This is the experience of the working class which is a big percentage of the workforce. I suppose if you’re a digital nomad and make the same wherever you live your experience will be different.
Hey, just a heads up, the reason the one leasing agent might have gotten weird when you asked about security is, saying the wrong thing can actually get her sued. You have to think of, say, she tells you "oh, we provide security cameras or controlled access buildings, "for your security" or "for your safty" Then...a month after you move in, some crazy person comes & does something weird, you then could go back to her and say "well YOU told me I was secure! You TOLD me all these things would keep me safe! You're liable for making me feel like I would be safe walking down to the laundry without locking my door!" Those kinds of things. Not that you would, but, this is one of the reasons agents get worried about answering any "safety, security" questions. It really is that, like you cannot tell someone you are providing any kind of safty or security for them or it can come back to bite you in the butt later, depending on how they wanted to interpret it or how far they would want to hold people accountable. You can tell somone the security measures you provide, like controlled access, gated entry, underground parking, cameras, but, never inply someones safety. You are taking on too big of a risk for yourself and the company. She is probably just scared to death of answering the question because of trining telling her it's dangerous to imply you are promising someone is safe or that you are going to make them safe. Properties generally don't want to take on that kind of liability. Could be she got in trouble before for saying something like that too lol. She may have also wondered if you were a secret shopper after asking that question. Agents are often secretly "shopped" to ensure they do not violate any laws or do anything the company finds unbecoming. The property manager would get a copy (if it's not the property manager being shopped) and then the agent will be evaluated based on their performance. Could have been either of those things. If you really want to know what the safety is like, call the local police dept and ask them, they will be more than willing to share if it's a good idea to live there or not. Some can provide a local police report summary for the city of public police calls, then you can just look over the reports for a place you're thinking of moving. It will include all addresses, so, you will have to just highlight the buildings that are in your complex and look at those.
Yes, I was going to say my son lives in Mountain View CA and pays over 5000.00 a month. I live in NY and rent here for something like that is 2500.00 if your lucky.
Wow ! So expensive to rent a place. Good advice, live with your parents and save up for a down payment on a home that is yours! That’s what a couple of my sons did…
Nicole, did you know you have a blemish under your nose? 🤪I’m sorry, couldn’t help myself, feeling a little punchy I guess! 😉I hope Maddy finds what she’s looking for. Please keep us posted! ☺️
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
Lol, I did not notice “the blemish “ until you mentioned it.
Thank goodness for honest cleaning ladies!!!!
Right??!!
I cannot believe the cost for those units. The kitchens and the carpeting were so outdated. Maddy deserves better.
Hope Maddie finds her a new home for her and fur baby. Live watching you ladies together yall always having a great time.
Seriously, move home! Three was lovely. Absolutely no excuse for crap in the toilet from the LAST tenant. Who was it? Cousin Eddy?! 😂😂 Great video Nicole. Take care darling xx
My parents were in real estate and they had to be very careful with security and area questions.
I did the same walk throughs with my daughter. I always asked about safety. I asked the person showing us if they would feel comfortable having a family member live there. If the response was stumbling around like you had it was a no go. I did however come across a person showing that said, " you know I don't live in this area but I have been working for this company for a while and I really like how they run their business and she said, I would check with the surrounding neighbors.

I’m one of those people that loves home tours, this was fun
Good luck Maddy finding a great apartment. 👍
Thanks for taking us along ❤️❤️

Fun times! ☺️
I am surprised how expensive it is to rent today. Here in Denver it is expensive too. Must be a sign of the times . Love watching you ladies !! 😊
People are so shallow! I get blemishes in my wrinkles now…. I recommend the Mario Badescu spot treatment. Pretty much clears it up overnight! It seems expensive but it lasts forever.
It means there are not safe. You can call your local police department and they can give you calls for service in the areas you're looking at.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Looks like you had fun.wondering how a single person affords those high prices. 💕💕😁

Thanks for bringing us along on your search. The cost of rent for a 2 br, 1 bath, pet friendly apartment in Ipswich Ma is $2350! It's crazy!!
Wow!
My goodness, so expensive!! Wow!!
So funny, I’m 64 and every now and then, I have something brewing on my face. Pimple, cold sore, something burned off by Dermatologist.
If it’s pretty noticeable, I introduce it to anyone who looks at it. Like…
I’m sorry, I didn’t want to be rude, but I’d like to introduce you to Ralph. He’s just visiting for a week or two. ☺️

OMG.... outrageous prices. My 34 year old single mom of 2 had to move back to her mom and dad's house. So really sad the prices!
It’s crazy out there. My son chose an apartment in the old RCA factory building in Camden, New Jersey. We weren’t aware at the time that Camden had the highest murder rate in the US.😳😳😳 Later, after a scary experience, he switched to indoor parking, too. Live and learn.
You’d think they’d stop getting carpet and put in better floors so you could stop getting the carpet cleaned. I’m not sure I could take my shoes off. But poop, yuck!
Those places are bargains, compared to what you would find in Denver.
Expensive, but I liked 3 the best. Did you look at any without carpeting? Like studios are an option,can get divider,or beads..🙃🤪❣💫☮
Here in California 1 bedrooms go for $3,545. You can get a small dump for about $1,169. But that's' in the ghetto. With gangs, high crime etc.
Crazy expensive! Iowa is much cheaper! Glad I am old, and in a small town!
I live in an apartment complex in the west side of bloomington (MN) and was paying $1100 for my one bedroom (1205 after fees and garage parking space) I’m transferring to a 2 bed at the same complex for $1468 (will be a bit more after fees)
No beef here, Maddy! I think your mother always looks beautiful! 😉 Good luck with your apartment hunt!

Go to the local PD and ask if that neighborhood is safe.

Seattle rent is off the charts!
I’m in Massachusetts outside of Boston and those apartments in my town are at least $2500
My son was looking for a room to rent for at least 600 a month or cheaper. He works at one of the Target stores their in Minneapolis
Hi Nicole, I was surprised that rent was that inexpensive there. We were just looking at apartments for my Daughter last weekend and in Las Vegas a two bedroom was $2000.00 and up.

ow very good!... minha familia mora ai em minneapolis. video muito bom.
Seriously, Harmony Mn. is a couple hours away, do you work remotely? They have a $12,000 incentive for homebuyers who work remotely.

Wow! In San Francisco if your lucky you can rent a bedroom for 1400 - tfs
Yes, I was going to say my son lives in Mountain View CA and pays over 5000.00 a month. I live in NY and rent here for something like that is 2500.00 if your lucky.
Yes Susie!! I'm looking to rent a ROOM in Santa Rosa for $1,000 with a shared bath.
Wow!
Wow ! So expensive to rent a place. Good advice, live with your parents and save up for a down payment on a home that is yours! That’s what a couple of my sons did…
I didn't notice a blemish
My son pays 1449 for his 3 bedroom house with a 2 car garage her in KY
Nicole, did you know you have a blemish under your nose? 🤪I’m sorry, couldn’t help myself, feeling a little punchy I guess! 😉I hope Maddy finds what she’s looking for. Please keep us posted! ☺️
😂😂😂
Just tell them you got it at walmart. That's what I say when some dumb butt says where did you get that I simply say walmart..lol
That's gross
In the Boston area that would be 2 grand or more
Wow! That’s wild!
They shouldn't be showing anything that isn't clean. No for sure.
I agree!
#3❤
If you hadn’t mentioned your blemish, I would never even looked. I still didn’t see it. Your fine, no worries.
You are beautiful blemish and all. So expensive for her. But pick a safe place 😮
Wow, super high rent, unless utilities were included. Good luck.🩷
