Our New Home

UCI has been busy building new student housing. We were placed in the newest family housing area. Our apartment is little more than a year old.

On the inside, it is difficult to fit 1100 sq ft. of condo items into 850 sq ft of new diggs. It is especially difficult to fit our living room furniture that was choosen to fill up a room twice the size of the room where it now sits. Oh well, 2o months or so.

Outside is really nice. There are quite a few buildings in the complex. The area is wonderfully landscaped. There are charcoal BBQs near each building and two big gas BBQs outside of the housing office, a few minutes walk from our place. Each evening bunnies run rampant around the common areas. It is quite cute.

The inside decor is a bit drab: White walls, thin bluish carpet. The kitchen is a nice open design, but we are hurting for closet space. The apartment has the mark of rushed contractors as the floors have evidence of being laid over a few pieces of wood leaving the occasional subtle bumps. As I said, 20 months or so; we'll make due.
