I just got out of a Weidner property.
4BR, 2.5BA townhome with a raised deck overlooking the Knik and the north side of the CSP,  and a large single car garage - and only 1 abutting unit in a 4 plex - for the same rent as a Weidner property 2BR, 1.5BA with neighbors above, behind, two below, one to the side, and not even a carport.
Before: dinky kitchen and leaks from the upstairs unit. Now, stainless appliances, glass cooktop, granite counters about 4x the prep area.

I can deal with the commute for that.
