The weight you lend to each one depends upon your personal preferences, lifestyle and budget. For some people, price will be the dominant factor. Others might choose a property based on factors such as style, amenities, location, convenience or security. Most complexes have laundry facilities and an outdoor pool. Among the other amenities available are indoor pools, tennis and volleyball courts, whirlpools or saunas, fireplaces, washer and dryer connections, individual alarm systems, exercise and weight rooms, garages or covered parking and clubhouses for private parties.
Some properties even have restaurants and bars on the premises.
At some complexes, the renter pays all utilities. Other properties include all or most of the utility charges in the flat monthly rate. If you hate paying bills, it may be worth your trouble to find a place where everything is included. All prices listed in this chapter are from 1997 and are subject to change.
