Okay, it's only fair that if we give disadvantages we have to give the advantages of living in Salem Harbour.

1.)Problem: Having your bedroom by the stairs, you hear the neighbors stomping up and down them all hours of day and night.
Adv: I will never oversleep for work.
Dis: I can never sleep in on days off.
2.)Problem: Neigbors surround sound.
Adv: save $$ on own stereo, if I can find same movie.
Dis: Can't hang things on walls without them rattling against it.
3.) Problem: There are about 10 cats living by the marina, people feed them.
Adv: save $$ from buying a cat,feeding it, and paying for its room and board.
Dis: I HATE cats.
4.)Living outside of the city limits saves you on car insurance.
Dis: Still had to pay more when the (parked) car was hit and almost totalled in broad daylight, still can't believe no one saw.
5.)It's like camping year round.
Adv: can have a campfire, roast marshmellows, ect.
DIS: Our apt. smells like a camfire year round, can't make it go away with candles,or with the managements help. can't stop it from smelling up my clothes or furniture.
Plus, the animals right outside by the dumpster really bring our campsite to life, such as the skunks, squirrels, raccoons. Not to mention the 7 inch bugs in my apt.
6.)The apartments are really big and plenty of storage.
DIS: you have to stay shut in your room to avoid smokey fire smell.(see prob.#5)
7.)People drive the wrong way down the one way street doing 80mph, or actually drive the right way doing 5mph.

For the amount of money you pay here, for a washer and dryer and maintenence that never fix the problem, just cover it up, I would suggest taking that $1000 and renting a duplex house. I can't wait till my lease is up, if I don't die from carbon monixide poison first.
