Cheap, CLEAN, single person apartments near mac
And I mean it by clean. Preferably new.
I can't ****ing take it in this house.
My roomates are DISGUSTING.
There are fruitflies EVERYWHERE. Not just 1 or 2. SWARMS of them.
There are dead flies on the ground.
There are these weird red, tiny, flying bugs in our bathroom.
I'm gonna ****ing lose my mind.
I'm paying 400 bucks + utilities right now. (About 450-460 total per month, I think).
Is there anything in the area? I guess there are no actual nice apartment buildings nearby? I've never seen any.
It's so ****ing gross here. And I thought I had low standards. ._.

Off Campus Resource Center has a pretty useful search tool for finding housing: http://macoffcampus.mcmaster .ca/cl...eds/search.php.
Its how I found my current place.
If you signed a lease already though, it might make things difficult for leaving your current house though.

Thanks for the link, Andrew.
I plan on subletting it. We're allowed to. ^^

Westmount towers was nice, with lots of single person suites but it's a bit of a trek from campus.

Yeah I know people who live in the Westmont towers and it's nice, you can get pretty nice view too if you live in one of the upper floors.

I don't have pictures of Westmount, but my friend's apartment was really nice. It had hardwood floors, really clean (probably because it was an old lady's apartment before she passed away) - white walls. Lots of cabinet space in the kitchen. The bathroom was a bit small though and the water pressure wasn't the best.
These people: http://www.efforttrust.ca/Listings/Hamilton-West/ pretty much own most of the Apartment complexes around Mac. There are a few near the Barn (Camelot, I think and another one a bit further down). |

You're not going to find nice single bedroom apartments for cheap.
There is a whole cluster of apartments at whitney and mericourt. Bus stops are close by, 10 min ride to campus. |

Some houses off campus can be pretty clean. Find a new house maybe?

I've concluded that it's the people who are dirty.
I've never had to do a chore in my entire life, and I can clean up better than these people. ._.

If you plan on living in an apartment by yourself, it's going to be expensive. Bachelors (which are usually the cheapest) start at like $500-$600. :(

It always depends on the people.
I would recommend looking for a place with a relatively small number of other people 2-4, and making sure that they have chores worked out and things like that.
PS. cutting the top off a pop bottle and inverting it and putting some juice in there really kills the fruit flies
