I’m looking for a new place to live for the first time in four years. And boy, do I have a lot to learn. I’m exceptionally puzzled by these new-fangled terms used to hype apartments. Any idea what they could mean? More importantly, do I want to pay extra for them?

“Freeway-close”

“Very quite street”

“Old world”

“Jaquzzi”

“Completely gutted”

“Remolded townhouse”

“Almost new stove”

“Stainless steal”

“Dinning room”

“Located in beautiful micro-elite Atwater Village”

“Eccentric urban arts slash funky retro café scene slash boogie night life”

“Privacy assured, yet friendly”

“The duplex evokes tranquility”

“The apartment is 53 feet long”

“IT HAS HARD DECO TYLE”

    Yes, pay a little extra for anything described as “located in beautiful micro-elite Atwater Village.”

    I don’t doubt the value of an Atwater Village address…but curious to know what ‘micro-elite’ means. Small, yet chic people?

    I’m in the midst of apartment-hunting in Chicago, too. I’d pay top dollar for a place that is “Privacy assured, yet friendly”. Frankly, I hate it when I have privacy with mean people.

    Haha. Hopefully you can get an almost-new stove for a stainless steal.

    When we were house-hunting, I came across a house that was described as *SEXY*. Loved that.

    Here’s a new one we found today:

    YOU CAN WALK PLACES

    Obviously that’s an only-in-LA kind of listing.
