Tips for Renting in Lakewood, CO
When looking for a rental unit in Lakewood, aside from the big details like cost, location, and number of bedrooms, pay attention to some of the smaller things, such as cell phone reception, water pressure, and whether there is a lot of noise coming from nearby units. While these things may seem less important overall, they could be more noticeable once you’ve moved in and gotten settled.
If you can, enlist the help of a close friend or family member to go with you to rental viewings to act as a second set of eyes and provide some additional feedback. Share with them specifics on what you’re looking for and let them know if they can ask questions during the viewing as well. Be open to their opinions and observations, but remember that you will be the one living in the unit you choose.
