<prompt> Human: I 24M am trying to decide between 2 apartments in the same area of a small city. I am single, make 60k a year with 300month in student loans, no pets or dependents although I might want a cat for company and have never lived alone always had roommates-Apartment 1 is a 1 Bed 1 Bath for 595month, everything but gas and electric included. Has 2 off-street parking spots, is on the 3rd top floor up some pretty narrow stairs which might make moving in difficult. Hardwood floors that are a bit uneven but arent a hazard or anything, just kinda ugly. Theres no laundry hookups. When I visited the ceiling was partially collapsed due to water but there has been a lot of rain recently and the realtor said thats not a normal occurrence.-Apartment 2 is a 3 Bed 1Bath for 745month, everything but gas and electric included. Its on the 2nd and 3rd top floors, is newly renovated and has nice carpets and hardwood. Theres 1 off-street parking space next to a bar. Theres a laundry hookup but Im not sure how much the fee is. I dont have any friends in this city but I figure I could be able to get a roommate later once Ive met people.x200B;Both allow cats, the commute is time is roughly the same, both are managed by the same company. On-street parking permits from the city are 30month.x200B;Edit: Apartment 2 is listed as a house for rent, I dont know if thats significant or changes how maintenance would work but I figured I should mention it.  <response>: Honestly, Apartment 1 sounds like a dump.You have enough money for your own laundry set, so Id go with Apartment 2. Like you said, you can expand into having a roommate if necessary.
