What to look for in a studio apartment in Concourse

How to verify a studio listing
Listings often over-promise on amenities. Before you sign a lease for a claimed studio apartment in Concourse, run through this verification checklist:
- ✓Measure the actual usable square footage, not the listed square footage
- ✓Check closet depth and height before committing to furniture plans
- ✓Ask about building sublet policies (studios have high turnover)
- ✓Verify if utilities are included (electric heat vs gas heat matters in a small space)
- ✓Test the water pressure and hot water recovery time in the building
