House Hunters International: Northern Munich

Here are three of the apartments that we were choosing from. 
Apartment #1: Eching
2 Bedrooms
105 sqm
980 Eur/Mo
Commute: 32 Mins (Bus to a Train) or 49 Mins (Bus), 11 Mins (Car)



This apartment is HUGE. It is a former office space, so the rooms are a bit strange (i.e. there is a spot where you tell there used to be a door). It is located next to an auto repair garage, but supposedly, there is no noise. It is set back from the road and is in a "pastoral" area. There is a door that leads to the garage that can not be opened. The kitchen is small, but brand new and included. The floor is laminate and also brand new. There is a spot for a washer and dryer in the bathroom.

Apartment #2: Garching
2 Bedrooms
76 sqm
808 Eur/Mo
Commute: 10 Minutes (Bus or Train), 8 Minutes (Car)

This apartment is a decent size. It is located in a large building (8 floors). It is on the 3rd floor. There are two elevators. The apartment is sunny and bright. The kitchen is available for sale from the previous tenant. The floors in the bedrooms and living room are laminate, but is tile in the hall and kitchen. There is room for a washer and a dryer in the kitchen. The apartment has two balconies. No good pictures because I found it in the newspaper. This is a generic picture of Garching.

Apartment #3: Ismaning
2 Bedrooms
90 sqm
1039 Eur/Mo (including parking space rent)
Commute: 33 Mins (On 2 Buses) or 46 Mins (Bus to Train), 16 Minutes (Car)



Lovely, large apartment in a quiet area of Ismaning. The apartment has a nice view. It faces south west and has a balcony. It comes with a kitchen. It has space for a washer in the kitchen. The floors are parquet. It has a large front hall including a guest toilet. It is in a large building on floor 5 of 7. Viewing this apartment is interesting as the current owner has 3 kids (including twins), and there is stuff everywhere!

Which do you think we picked?

The third one. Only because I assume you will be buying a car.

Number 2? I like #3 the best... bright, happy, spacious. But number 2 seems like the most bang for your buck (euro). The commute method sure can make a difference, no?

Can't wait to see the results!

Oh, I love this game! (And I'm loving the options!) I guess #3.

I think you went with the 3rd one.
