[@angelialowery9284]

Hi just wondering if you ever disclosed the names of the apartments you didn’t pick ? I am looking to move and really enjoyed these

[@denzeljeter4479]

You’re so beautiful every time I watch your videos you brighten my day up and such inspiration to POC looking to get into SWE keep it up

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Thanks so much there definitely needs to be more POC in this field but I'm cautiously optimistic for the future😊🤓

[@ccupid__5961]

this video was very helpful thank you

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Oh good I’m glad it was helpful!!

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Which apartment is your favorite!? Come back next week so you can learn which one I chose👀

[@cherolphoshoko8670]

Oh my god you have fantastic choices, apartment one and two look amazing{I'm in love with the bathrooms lol}. I love how spacious the second one is though! Apartment two is definitely my fave.

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Those bathrooms were insaneeee😅 I definitely was happy about most of my choices so we’ll see👀

[@JazieLovex3x3]

What is the name of the second apartment if you don’t mind me asking. I am looking to move to LA next month and that apartment is nice

[@lyndazahn7742]

One of my children ended up with nice place in Hollywood that has such awesome rent deals . Always check the big buildings and not just what shows up on line

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Yes you truly have to look at different things to try to find the best deals!

[@jovonnecameron]

I need to see the others but so far I’m torn between the 2nd and 3rd apartment. Can’t wait to see what you choose and how you decorate!

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

So far your ranking is on track👀 I lovveeddd the light in the 3rd apartment

[@krrishbreslin7826]

They are real and trusted

[@iamrhondaj1018]

Do you mind sharing the name of the 3rd apartment. I’m currently looking

[@melointech9968]

I live downtown Portland and I understand the vibe of finding the right block to live on. I like the first one but the 2nd floor plan.

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Yea exactly! I walked to most of the tours so that I could get a good sense of the area and what’s around because yea that’s soooo important to me. And me too I looveeeeddd that floor plan. So we’ll see👀

[@danitaforbes7951]

I think you chose the second apartment but I can't wait to see what you actually chose.

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

I did love that second apartment!!

[@KelechIwuaba]

I am so spoiled living in the south I cannot even imagine living in a Studio for those prices. I doubt you went with any of the ones from today.

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Honestly I definitely panicked realizing I’m paying about $1k more for this new apt than my rent now🤦🏾‍♀️ Interesting let’s see if you’re right👀

[@krrishbreslin7826]

[@Licia1318]

The first apartment was almost perfect except the bathroom was too close to the kitchen. That's such a pet peeve of mine, lol. Also, the view was absolutely amazing 🙌❤ The third apartment had the nicest floors in my opinion. The bathroom seemed a bit cramped, though. I already know you didn't pick the last one. I disliked the kitchen and bathroom finishes as well. Plus, no in-unit laundry is a deal breaker for me. My only experience with on-site laundry was horrible. A lady had a dog or dogs that apparently shed a lot. The dog hair would be all over her clothes and she would put her dog hair clothes in the public washer and dryers and not have the decency to wipe out the units after she used them. This would result in dog hair being transferred on other people's clothes. No...just no!

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Oh my gosh that’s awful!! Shoot now I’ll never forget that experience and I’ll never be able to do community laundry again😅 And yes those floors were AMAZINGG. I wish I could combine the best parts of these different apartments to create my dream home🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

I understand! I had an apt where the bathroom was directly off the kitchen.

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

@@jeanneewaseck6635 Oh geez for smaller apartments I can definitely see how that can be more of a problem because I did see a lot of that with studios I was touring but yea the idea of it being *directly* off the kitchen doesn't sit well with me🙃

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

The aesthetic outside wouldn't turn me off - safety as a woman, would .... is that what you mean?

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Yea that was my main concern since a lot of times how well kept an area is directly correlates to the level of security and safety and since I was only there for just a few moments it’s really all I could go on🙃

[@WhitneyChakara]

Downtown in most cities is dirty. Lol.

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

Haha yes but some areas/blocks are worse than others😅

[@petermiller9904]

Why downtown its such a shit show?

[@TheBlackFemaleEngineer]

I like skyscrapers😅
