I was looking at apartments again.
I think I have decided not to go for the places with the pools and tennis courts. Instead, I'm looking for a loft downtown so that I can walk to work. Most of them seem to still have fitness centers and parking garages. They're a bit pricier, but I would save on gas.
Some of them have great views of the river, and with these apartments I can actually get some historic charm like exposed brick and hardwood floors. The other apartments couldn't offer that--they were too new.
Hoping to pinpoint a place by next weekend.
