finding an apt

Now that I’m embarking on the apartment search again, it probably makes sense to review the home attributes that I actually care about.

• Size: As long there’s enough room for a bed and a desk
• Walk-up: 4th floor and below
• Noise: Very much prefer quiet – this is pretty important to me
• Gym: Massive bonus for me. I place a large premium on the time savings that come from having a gym in the building.
• Kitchen: Now that I cook a decent amount, dishwasher is also very important
• Washer/dryer: As long as they are on the premises
• Other building amenities: worthless

My main issue is that most buildings with quality gyms will also provide a bunch of other stuff that I place 0 value on, so essentially I need to decide just how much an in-building gym is worth to me on a monthly basis.
