Living Large in Arbor Lakes

While we know the advantages of purchasing a home, we decided to save up our money before plunging into the home market. Living on the southside definitely has it's advantages, but we decided to save money on gas and transportation costs by living in a modest apartment near our jobs.

After fussing and fighting for more than a month, we both agreed that Arbor Lakes Apartment Homes in Covington, Ga. would be the perfect place for us to start. Our new address is 431 Kirkland Road, Covington, Ga.  30016. Please do not drop by unannounced, we love you, but not that much.

At $755 a month for a two bedroom apartment. We try to keep the lights off when not in use, but we can't do without heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer so our utilities are
$185 a month.

We saved a ton of cash by furnishing our apartment with items we found on Craigslist.com and at local Nearly New stores. You'll be surprised the good stuff some people throw away -- one man's junk is another man's treasure!
