In preparation for my relocation to the Jeffersonville, IN area, I am looking for some suitable housing.  Just so you’d know, suitable housing means something different to me than it may for you.  I am looking for a place that has at least 700 sq. ft. so I can fit my belongings and myself comfortably into the place.  I am also looking for washer/dryer hookups at the least and washer/dryer combo already in the unit at most.  Other must-haves: central air, cable ready, Internet access, walk-in closets, ample parking, clubhouse.  Optional: balcony or patio, garage for parking, and a second bedroom.

Most of the properties I viewed were either substandard surrounded by equally (or worse, if that’s possible) substandard housing; were acceptable-looking surrounded by substandard-and therefore overpriced in my eyes; acceptable/attractive in middle-class environments that were income-controlled (the max level of income being below what I will make in my promotional position); or were in middle class environments but had no amenities other than “great neighbors”-not to mention small space.  There was no happy medium or in-between.  So my search continues.  Hopefully I find something that ticks my boxes soon.
