The Search Begins...

It at all started when we (Whitney and Chris) decided that we could not live in our 710 sq ft apartment anymore. We were tired of having "bike art" (what we call the two bikes currently stacked in our living room), storing things in both our old apts (shout out to Beckler ladies and 188 fellas) and casually/sneakily bringing things to our parents' places.  We were also sick of paying someones else' mortgage. SO we decided to play with the idea of buying a condo.  WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE GETTING OURSELVES INTO!!!

We currently live in South Boston...also known as Southie...also known as Home of the Bucket. We love everything about Southie. I (Whit) have been here for 3 years and Chris for 2 years. We decided that we were ONLY looking in Southie and the search began.  For about 3 months we spent every weekend looking at any and all available condos with our criteria. My mom, also our SUPERSTAR realtor, told us "never start planning what furniture you're going to put in the condo until its yours, more often than not you will get your heart broken."  Too bad I didn't listen. Chris and I found a place that we loved! It was bigger than anything we had looked at, had features that weren't even on our list and had both a deck and a backyard (wink wink perfect for our future dog). WE WERE SOLD. Too bad it had basically already been sold before they had the open house. After that nothing we saw compared to this 'dream condo'...until Bayside!!
