Maps #33: Real Friends Help You Move

You know what they say, "Only a real friend will offer to help you move." Well, now, thanks to online sites like Apartments.com the process is so much easier and you probably need a lot less "real friends." I looked at a few of the other sites listed and they all seemed fairly comparable. If you type in a zip code and site radius, along with the amenities you're looking for, you can easily see what's available. Floor plans, prices and nearby schools are also only a click away. You can also find the closest Starbuck's or the nearest veterinarian if you desire. There's also a menu of links to moving resources if you need to find movers, packing materials and phone numbers of whom to call to get the best cable package.

For the second activity, I selected the Lodge at Copperfield from my initial search. After I recovered from my initial shock at how much apartment living costs, I checked out the amenities. It looks like a great place to live: quick access to a major freeway and medical facilities, diverse restaurant establishments, and the Cypress-Fairbanks school district as well as the Lone Star College System. Fairly close to several great public libraries too!
