Hey all, I am moving to Tallahassee from across the country to start a program at FSU and won't be able to make it to the city before I move to look for an apartment. I've been searching on the web, but obviously I have some major reservations about renting something without seeing it in person.
So, my question is twofold: 1. If I arrive in the middle of August, will I have a difficult time finding a studio or 1 bedroom on such short notice? I need to live within walking distance from the east side of campus, and I'm concerned that there will be very few vacancies due to the high influx of students renting at the beginning of the semester. And, 2. Are there any apartment communities/areas that you can recommend, for which I can sign a lease in good confidence without seeing it in person first? As I said earlier, I need to live within a mile or two of the east side of campus. Franklin Pointe comes up a lot in my search, as has Parkwood Apts and some other places on Park Blvd. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!
