The apartment is where you sleep.

The area is where you live.

One affects your nights.

The other affects every single day.

Choose intelligently.

What changed your opinion about an area after visiting at night?

[AreaCheck @areacheck1]

@thesophiebrand However we paint it, renting is no longer affordable in Lagos.

[AreaCheck @areacheck1]

@RealDonaldDoo What's saving most in Lagos for now are the face to face single rooms with public toilet and kitchen available in the outskirts.

But their prices are also gradually going up while most families are handing theirs over to developers.

Soon, your prophecy will come to pass.

@tolathebaddest This looks like a joke but it's some renters reality.

What we call "shit" is some others comfort.

[AreaCheck @areacheck1]

@Iam_Misola Unfortunately, it's not getting better anytime soon.

No one is coming to save us.

[AreaCheck @areacheck1]

@Tonyjay I gotta read that again and again and again.

Nowhere in those locations are you getting a one bedroom at the quoted price, let alone TWO.

@Reybaeccah House hunting in Lagos is never easy, especially if you fall into the hands of "scammer" agents.

Some streets look calm and organized st 2 pm.

Visit again at 8 pm, that's when you'll find out if there's a bar nearby, a worship centre that runs overnight programs or an evening market that never closes until 10 pm.

Every compound has its policies.

The parking space issues.

The noisy and troublesome neighbor.

The person who never contributes for repairs but complains the loudest.

House hunting doesn't prepare you for any of these.

One thing we often underestimate during house hunting is the road leading to the apartment.

The rent may be affordable, but if every rainfall turns your route home into an obstacle course, you'll pay for it daily in stress.

No area is perfect. But some areas are easier to live in than others.

The goal isn't to find perfection, it's to understand the realities upfront and choose the one you can comfortably live with.

Most people inspect the apartment but ignore the area. Here are 10 things to check outside the apartment before paying rent in Lagos.

A Thread.

[AreaCheck @areacheck1]

10. Visit more than once.

One inspection rarely tells the full story.

Areas have different personalitiesdepending on the ttime and conditions.
