One bedroom apartment available near Dayton, Ohio.

[Tobin S.]

$450 a month, you pay electric. Land line and cable available of you want it. Nice neighborhood, first floor, community pool. Close to shopping and restaurants. Bus stop close by. Back patio door opens to a park-like setting. All you need is half way decent credit and a job unless you want to pay for a year up front.

PM me if interested.

1. Well, that's not a bad monthly fee, but I own a 4-br house outright.

It's got a 1 1/2 car garage (or so it's called - haven't found a half-car to fit in the other side) and a full basement. I really don't want to move to Dayton. Actually, I just don't want to move. I like it here.

[Tobin S.]

2. Okay.

3. Hey, I had to live in a condo in N. VA for two years. I don't like apartments.

Actually, that's not true entirely. When I lived in Riverdale, MD, I had a really cool apartment. Ten food ceilings, hardwood floors, plaster archways over the connections to the rooms. I liked that one. The only downside was that the building was RIGHT next to the railroad tracks. That didn't bother me until the great tequila tragedy of 1983.

4. The apartment is actually a condo I owned and lived in before I met Jen.

I couldn't sell it so I leased it. My tenant's lease is up and she's moving to Columbus. I have a property manager working on it, but I thought I'd post it here just in case. Hey, you never know.

5. "the great tequila tragedy of 1983"

I assume you have not drunk tequila since then!! Dancing naked in the window as the commuter train passes by??

[HopeHoops]

13. Well, I didn't drink it for a couple of weeks, but I still do. That old...

... "I'm never going to drink (whatever) again" thing is pretty close to complete bullshit. My wife's an exception. She won't touch cinnamon schnapps (curiously that ALSO involved railroad tracks).

As for dancing naked in the window as the commuter train passes by, it was fun to watch all the laughing faces. Actually, I didn't do that (on that occasion) because I was floating in a bath tub with my heel plugging up the drain. That was in Riverdale, right below East West Highway.

8. Which ten foods comprised the ceilings?

Inquiring minds need to know.

14. The event still haunts me. Sorry for the typo. And you knew what I meant.

15. Sadly, that apartment nowadays would be leased by some yuppie paying $2500/month...

and doesn't appreciate how beautiful it is. 2:1 odds they're currently suing MARC, Amtrak and/or Maryland Transit Authority to move the rail-line.

Yet one more reason I can't wait to get out of metro DC. No appreciation for beauty or art or culture or anything else except politics. I realize it's funny to say here, but I fucking hate that people in DC are all about their personal politics and their job and cannot talk about anything else...actually seemingly incapable.

16. Well, the owner (my landlord at the time and good friend) sold it to a yuppie.

He pretty much bought it on the spot. It had a great sun room and a porch that squirrels loved. That part might have involved the peanuts I set out, but one of the mothers brought her litter around when they were just big enough to climb. Damn were they cute.

17. I wish it could be our weekend home...

But we didn't win the lottery.... Jen

6. Good luck, my dear Tobin!

I hope you get another great tenant!

7. Seems like a good deal, but I do not wish to move to Ohio.

Have you posted this in the States Forum? You can list it in Ohio. It is in U.S. under Places.

11. You should

go to WSU and post an ad for it around campus. Non-students/staff are permitted to do that.

[LynneSin]

12. That wouldn't be so bad should my company relocate me to Dayton

Although I hope that doesn't happen - I like Delaware

[krispos42]

20. Fortunately, Delaware fits nicely in the hall closed.

18. Do you have it on Craigslist?

We have a house we couldn't sell and a studio garage apartment. Rented both through Craigslist very easily.
But both are also within walking distance of UNC Chapel Hill campus.

[Tobin S.]

19. Yeah, I have it listed just about everywhere I can

A property manager is handling the property for me and he's also a realtor. I will have the place listed in the local MLS and he said he would put it in the paper and on craigslist and such.
