Steps to obtaining a Lease

The process to obtaining a lease for either apartment is as follows:

1) Contact me the owner via email to express interest. If after communicating with me--and from viewing the video on the blog--you are interested in signing a lease, I will ask you to complete an application.
2) Meet the property manager to view the apartment.

3) Complete the rental application - providing credit information and references

4) Participate in a short phone interview with me, the owner

5) If the application is approved, sign a lease.

The Neighborhood

This is a great street, very eclectic - retired professors, families, and students. This house is proud to be within the boundaries of Westcott Nation, a neighborhood known for it's culture and community pride. Three blocks away is Westcott Street, the neighborhood center with Mexican, Greek, Cuban, Middle Eastern, Sushi and pizza restaurants, as well as a bookstore, a couple of pubs, and independent movie theater, and a few convenience stores. The annual Westcott Cultural Fair in early fall is a lot of fun.

The house is one block down the street from the largest park in Syracuse - Thornden Park. Walking through the park rose gardens on the way to campus is a wonderful way to begin the day. The park offers free swimming at the pool in the summer, plenty of places to jog and walk dogs, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a beautiful amphitheater that hosts an annual weekend of "Shakespeare in the Park" each summer.
