I, too, have looked at every potential living space through the “will I be depressed here?” lens and always felt very strange that not everyone is like this. Finally someone else gets it! I’m so relieved.

[@Cassssssssidy]

Okay... I am a serial watcher of apartment hunting videos and I have to say this was easily the most entertaining & funny apartment hunting vlog I have ever seen. You are awesome! So happy you went with the first one AND went out with the hot real estate agent, yassss. I have officially subscribed and I cannot wait to watch whatever content you create next!

Same, girl! I’m also a 40-something mom living vicariously. I’ve never, ever lived alone. I’ve never even had my own bedroom! I moved straight out of my parents’ house 21 years ago into a place with my now-husband. Some days I wish I had my own apartment I could escape to! 😂

[@ejclearwater]

Girl, what you talking bout, 'I don't deserve it'! Why? Cause you're just a person, like everyone else? Get that mindset and shove it in the garbage. You are a beautiful human being with genuine feelings and emotions, and needs and wants and deserves EVERYTHING. We need and want things and should go after them. IDGAF who 'deserves' it. You fkn want it - you got it! I support you and your needs. Go after what you want. No one should live in a horrid 90s interior if they dont want to. You deserve something that makes you light up. Go you. What a boss. 10/10 content.

[@brittanyo3087]

This video was “suggested” to me through KZbin (I also live in DC) and I could not have been more in love with or entertained by the content! When you’re not too busy filming DIY or apartment decor videos- post some more of these types of videos! Would love to hear more about your daily life and run-ins with attractive realtors! Wishing you all the best in your new spot in DuPont.

[@pamcornelius9122]

This video gives me hope. My husband of 41 years recently went to Heaven and I’m living alone for the first time in my life. I actually don’t know what to do each day when I wake up! I live in the historic district of the town where The Walking Dead series was filmed. My decor is eclectic - mostly quirky art, photography and antiques. I adore your style and personality (my husband used to say ‘wessonality’😂). You are an inspiration to me.

[@evelynl.2418]

"It was like a cube" is exactly how I describe my experience currently living in DC. Everything is a box in the sky, all new apartments look the same unless you spend north of 2500/3000.

Your vibe is everything, thank God I opened this video! I was feeling down but you put a smile on my face. You're so funny, I felt like I was chatting with my best friend haha. I hate picky people choosing an apartment but you are picky in the good way, I love that you balance your wants and needs, and that you are clear about what you want and how you want to feel in an apartment. Loved it!

Wish I would have watched this before I went to DC for my own apartment hunting adventure but it was still really fun to see your experience! I love the space you ended up in and wish I could have found something similar! Maybe next time I move, which according to my track record, is in approximately 1.5 yrs.

[@DSherman50]

I was rooting for the first apartment by the time you finished touring the third one. I just knew it was right and the best as there was no downside. I’m eager to see you make it your own.

Loved this. As a soon to be empty nester, I’ve gone from a 4 bedroom big house to a 3 bedroom condo, while already dreaming of giving my big furniture to my kids (yes they want it), and downsizing again. Surprise! Your content is good even for 55+.

[@notsurewhatisgoingon]

When you know, you know! I fell in love with a place a couple months after I had just moved and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I had never seen it in person but I knew it was perfect. It just happened a unit was available at the perfect time and I snapped it up. I was ready before I took a tour. It's been perfect!

[@ChristinaDior90]

Ok I’m at minute 4:00 of your video and I am impressed I’m not the only impatient person in the world. Going through a lot of changes this year myself, moving places a lot every year, it’s paying a toll in my mental health. I just love how nice is the mix between a home and mental health.

[@espritsmith243]

wow DC has changed so much since I lived there. I lived near Howard (now know as Shaw) and never heard that area described as "hip and trendy". It was one of my favorite neighborhoods I've ever lived in. This was a real cool apartment hunting video. I feel like she says the things that are in my head.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

You are completely correct. I know that DC is evolving rapidly and that comes with pros and cons. I didn’t really know DC before when Shaw was Howard but I’d be so interested to hear about your experience. I’m glad you resonated with the video! It has been so fun to explore this city ❤️thanks for watching and happy new year love 😘

[@terri348]

When I was young and single, I too went apartment hunting. It was a one bedroom junior, and reasonably priced. However, great windows in Living area and bedroom. LOVED my time there!!!

[@j.leeny3142]

East facing gets the most light in the morning, but my current apt (which is east) and another one I had in the past got pretty dark quickly in the afternoon. My other West apartments got a LOT more light in general, particularly in the afternoon/early evening. I've lived in both East and West apartments, but I've found that my West facing apartments were the brightest all day generally. Just my observation....

[@leonore3349]

Do apartments in the US usually just face one direction?

[@j.leeny3142]

@@leonore3349 From my experience, yes -- this is because I've always lived in a major city, where the streets are pretty much arranged in a grid like format and I lived in the typical tall box shaped building. People who are lucky enough to have a corner unit though often have windows on 2 sides so would benefit from multiple exposures. In NY, there are also railroad style apartments that'd also give you 2 opposite exposures -- like one south and the other north. Oddly, i noticed some modern new builds with angled windows/sides -- I imagine that would vary the exposure --- like something that would have been east, might actually get some south exposure.

[@leonore3349]

Interesting... In Portugal, most places have two fronts, usually opposite, which is great for ventilation. I just bought an apartment that faces north and south. I feel like temperature wise, it'll be like having winter and summer in the same house. Tricky. Right now I live in an apartment that is part of a block, but since it's on a corner, it's east and north facing. I feel like orientation (coupled with other variables) completely changes your living conditions and the hominess of a house.

[@j.leeny3142]

@@leonore3349 I would love that! so it sounds like you get the whole floor then? Congrats on the new place!

It felt so “you” even though this is literally my first time watching your videos lol! 3) the hot realtor tidbit at the end really made this feel like a full ring circle story, wow. What a great video, sending u love!!

[@jackiebrangard6797]

This video was the best apartment search I think I've ever seen. You charm and wit shined through. But stop saying "patient, patient, patient" in such a self-defeating way. You WERE patient. You made a decision to explore your options, made a choice based on information you had gathered, and probably have an even greater appreciation for your home now. And I am so glad you choose #1. The one bedroom without a window would have driven you up a wall, I think. I hope you will share your decorating with us. Good luck in DC.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

Jackie you are so darn sweet. I’m so glad u liked it! Thanks for being so encouraging ❤️❤️can’t wait to keep sharing decor

Love the video. I think we all knew you were going to pick #1. Seems so right for you and so cute. The funny thing is that the kitchen seemed to have that 90's vibe. But that's ok.

You did good and went with your gut! The apartment’s beautiful and everyone loves Dupont/the gayborhood. I lived in Glover Park for a number of years in a great one bedroom for $1250. My rent never went up and it was a steal. I had a hard time leaving it, but ultimately DC wasn’t a happy fit for me. The neighborhood rocks, though, and is underrated. Enjoy your place and being back in your hometown!

[@Caroline_Winkler]

aw thanks for the support! it's crazy how cities all have their own personality and sometimes it just isnt a good fit. that was NYC for me -- i lived there for a decade and i felt like all my friends loved it and i just never fully got there. i hope you've found a place now that suits you like you deserve!

@@Caroline_Winkler thank you! I’m back home in Boston, which is a better fit, though the DC move was an important, invaluable one. I love and miss many things about the area, and can’t wait to visit once travel’s safer. DC will always hold a special place in my heart. Hope it treats you very well!
