What should I do if two apartments still seem tied after touring?

Quick answer

Then compare management, commute, natural light, noise, parking, floor-plan usability, social environment and the amenities you will really use. Grant wants the final choice to produce both confidence and genuine excitement once the practical red flags are cleared.
