Point taken. I think my apartment hunting skills are out of date. All of the cute charming apartments I've lived in or looked at are probably overrun with hipsters and sky high rents now (Carytown, Devil's Triangle, Main Street, Broad Street above a storefront downtown).
The only tips I have that would still be relevant would be that the ones in Style's classifieds are usually cooler than the ones in the TD, and look for duplexes and private landlords instead of developers. Good luck with whatever you choose.
(BTW I had Morton G. Thalhimer Lowe's-ify the adorable 1950's kitchen in my last duplex halfway through my four year tenancy. Broke my heart.)
