It faces the interior - good luck with the application!

Congratulations! That seems like a really good deal for a two bedroom. Here is a map that shows how the different units are oriented within the buildings. It looks like the F line faces the interior (but the letters are a little difficult to see.)

Congrats! I agree with the posters who said that F faces the interior. It’s a super deal! And a high floor too. Plenty of light up there. Best of luck with the process!

I love this map. I agree, the unit is East oriented, facing the interior, except one bedroom and bathroom window facing 14th loop. Sunny and bright.

I didn't see anything posted today.


Also, I heard back that I am second in line for the 1 bedroom I applied to the other day. BA23, are you first? If so, good luck!! And, if not, I hope whoever is in first doesn't move forward (unless they're reading this, in which case, good luck to you too!!)

Wishing not moving forward is more negative. I hope that person and you both get the apartment you want. The reason people are looking for lower cost is because we all are in the same boat and looking to be able to get an apartment that is decent enough and affordable enough for us to survive. I hope all of you get the deal you want. I am settled in my new place and have to do some minor stuff. But I feel like keep coming here and seeing all you who have helped me stay motivated and not give up get the apartment you want.

I'm only teasing, but regardless I've seen many people on these boards apply to lottery apartments and then change their minds about moving forward. If the person ahead of me wants the apartment though, then I hope they get it, which is why I wished them good luck. I don't want the person to be disqualified or ineligible.

Yes, quite a few people either turn down the apartments or not qualify, because we've seen many units become available again and again, even some of the cheaper ones. I've been surprised by that.

Best of luck to all!

Sabavoon! I hope you're getting comfortable in your new place. I'm thinking of throwing a housewarming party soon, and I'd really like to have you over. I honestly believe I wouldn't have found the patience to apply for this place if it weren't for your help.

I wonder if since people essentially have to apply the second the unit listing appears on the site, people are applying for units that they might not have if they had had time to give it some consideration.
