The Apartment Novels & Stories

Plus Mike the office boy lived just a few floors up so at least she would have an acquaintance here. “As I was saying, Logan was kind enough to introduce me to this place last week and I’m telling you, Mrs Winters, you won’t be able to find a cheaper place than this,” Mike rambled on as he gave her a little tour around the apartment, not that there was anything much to see. Her unit was on the fourth floor and because the apartment was fairly new, the neighbouring units were empty, save for an old lady who lived next door. Pepper had hopped onto the bandwagon to view the place. She slid the window up, poked her head out and cupp

“How can I help you today, sir?” River leaned on the counter, his voice steady. “I need an apartment. Something close to Spring Estate. Walking distance if possible.” The woman blinked. “That area is… expensive.” River’s lips curved into a wry smile. “Money’s not the issue.” She adjusted her glasses and typed quickly. “We do have a few listings in that area. High-rise condos, private lofts, some modern flats. Do you have a size preference?” River shook his head. “Big enough for me. Nothing fancy. Just… quiet.”

"That one is an apartment—four rooms, including a bathroom, toilet, and sitting room. Fully furnished, beautifully decorated both inside and out. It includes—" "Where is it located?" I cut in, not interested in the unnecessary details. "Canada." I barely glanced at it before putting it aside. "Nah. Too small and too far." I reached for the next option. "Ah, yes… That’s a one-man apartment." Not what I needed. "What about this one?" I asked, pointing to another image. "Oh, that’s a family home," he explained, adjusting his suit. "Five rooms, excluding the sitting room, toilets, and bathrooms. It has a balcony and a master bedroom. It’s located in London."

"Don't curse." Three hours later I was staring at myself in the full length mirror in Cath's bedroom. I had spent a full thirty minutes gawking at her apartment. It was on the top floor of a high rise building and was one of the only two apartments on the freaking floor. It was a little bit too impersonal for my taste, and looked barely lived in. There were no pictures on the wall or personal nick nacks anywhere. In fact, the only room that had any sign of life was the home office. The apartment was done up in stark white and blacks. I itched with the urge to dirty it up a bit. But nobody could deny that it was prime real estate. The floor to ceiling windows e

Some teachers and faculty members greeted me, and maintenance were living in here too. Candice helped us get our bags and into my assigned apartment. We need to get on the elevator, and alike doors and bricked walls welcomed us, only the numbers on the side and the electric doorbell differs. "Your apartment is 707." Candice dropped off the bag in front of apartment 707 and said she needed to go now because her boyfriend was waiting at the mall for her. I thanked her, and she went off, Levi waved goodbye and I punched the password on the door before it opened.

The rain beat insistently against the window of Lara's apartment, a small, functional place on the tenth floor of an old building, with a view of the backs of other constructions. It was a transitional space, furnished with generic pieces and few traces of personality. On that Thursday night, it seemed even emptier, colder, a cocoon that didn't comfort, only confined.

Now, I had my opportunity. After contacting the office of the apartment complex, I went in for a showing of the apartments available. Thankfully it had an elevator so I chose a beautiful three-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor. It was facing the street and had a lovely balcony overlooking the stone and glass buildings around it. The style was completely me and since I’d have the money, I informed the agent who was escorting me that I’d be buying the apartment, not renting it.

It was her chance to settle in China and start building a future, even if the Apartment was tiny and expensive at $900 a month. The Apartment was a small, one-room furnished space with a bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and living room. Out of twelve apartments in the building, eleven were already taken. The empty one was on the left. Janiya struggled to carry her luggage up five steps to the elevator before finally getting inside. Once there, she took about thirty minutes to settle in and change into something more comfortable. Since it was a hot day, she put on shorts and a halter top, ready to start cleaning.

"Not really, only five places, including this apartment! this apartment is by far the best!" "Is that so? earlier, the man said there was an empty apartment with three bedrooms. If you don't mind, how about we share a room?" "What? share a room? with you?" ***

The small apartment felt unusually quiet when Gian unlocked the door. It was on the seventh floor, with a balcony overlooking the city park. Not very big, but comfortable enough for two people. The living room and kitchen shared an open layout, furnished with modern minimalist pieces. Shades of gray and cream dominated the space, giving it a calm yet slightly cold atmosphere.
