Hi!

Three young, responsible, alternative types are seeking an apartment as close to Davis Square as possible for Sept. 1.

The following criteria are necessities:
-3 bedrooms, or 2 bedrooms with extra common space of some kind
-Laundry in building, or laundry hookups
-Some outdoor space - deck or yard
-Reasonable walking distance (15-20 minutes or less) to Davis, Porter, Harvard, Alewife or Kendall T

These things would be excellent plusses:
-Dishwasher
-Hardwood floors
-Offstreet parking
-Pantry space
-Storage space
-First floor or first/second floor
-Pets okay (we currently have no pets)

Please contact us if you have anything to show! Thanks!

It would be about ... 15 minutes on a bike on the bike path to Alewife, if I'm judging correctly. Depending on speed, of course. It's about 10 minutes from the Arlington Center break in the bike path to Alewife at a meander (like 6-8 MPH). I can do Arlington Heights to my place in 15-20 if I book it (like 12ish MPH, more time on the return trip because it's uphill).

All of this depends on a bike, of course, but I have little idea how I would drive there. Probably hop on 2 from Arlington Center to Alewife, which is, what, one exit?

Just some context, since I'm in and out of Arlington, erm, a lot. Parenthetically, living near the capital would be teh roxxors!

Hrrrrmmm...if I 1) had a bike and 2) trusted myself not to get killed riding one, this might make a considerable difference. (You sturdy bike people make me so envious sometimes...!) Seriously, though, it might work - and as I recall, bus service from Arlington is pretty sweet (unlike, say, Union Square, which while it has many buses serving it, doesn't seem to have any that, like, actually arrive anything like on time...).

I think I'll look at it, leighjen - I sent you an email on the 12th!
