A little trick I learned the hard way: check out the cars in the parking lot. If they are all Honda Accords or Civics, go elsewhere, because the thieves will be there shortly to steal them. On the other hand, if they are nicely-kept, respectable vehicles, (or really cool sports cars), count it as a good indicator of the residents. If the parking lot looks like the yard in a small Texas town named "Junkit," (and I'm from Texas so I can say that), keep on driving. Apart from that, my three rules for apartment living are clean, safe, and quiet- "quiet" referring to people whose bass in their car is so loud you expect some Thrash band to jump out of it. And that's my four cents, (inflation).
