Help! My unhealthy apartment obsession

Recently we have been trying to find a new apartment. This is not a fun thing to do, especially from the other side of the country. I am asking for your help because I have spent so many hours looking at apartments and I just can't decide, mainly because I just want to find the perfect one and its just so hard to stop looking and pick one!

Here is the dilemma (short version). I want to work in Anaheim at Disneyland and Tim is going to a college either in Fullerton or Mission Viejo. We need somewhere that is not too far of a drive (whatever that means), but unfortunately mostly all of the apartments in Fullerton don't have washer dryers in them, which is a necessity. We need help deciding if we should pick one because its close to work, or because it is a good price for how much sq. feet, or because I just love they lay out. I am listing my top five picks. Please leave you feedback and help us pick a new apartment!!!

1 Cortesia--835 sq ft./$1440
In Mission Viejo 34 min from Disney/14 min from Tim's school
It is big and new and nice but so far away!


2 Club Laguna--800 sq. ft. /$1575
In Laguna Beach 27 min from Disney/12 min from Tim's school
Newly remodeled and close to the beach!
3 Ameritage--690 sq.ft/$1640
In Fullerton 16 min from Disney/ 7 min from Tim's school
Looks really nice


4 Archstone las Flores--728 sq. ft./$1300
In Rancho Santa Margarita 31 min to Disney/ 6 min to Tim's school
5 Haver Hill--1106 sq. ft./$1625
In Fullerton 14 min from disney/8 min from Tim's school
This one is tricky because its the only 2 bedroom. You may be thinking why would they need a 2 bedroom. Well if we have this apartment for a couple years then 2 bedrooms could come in very handy. Also washer dryers are only available in the 2 bedroom apartments. I hesitate with this apartment because it is pretty ghetto looking, but of course i am only looking at pictures.



Please leave feedback, an outsiders view would be amazing. Maybe this will help me to stop obsessing!! I just can't pick one and I need help!! Thank you!!
