Housing Prospects!

While out geocaching today with Eric, Ruth and I did run across a few possible affordable places to live.  Up here housing is so expensive, so we have really been trying hard to find an affordable, but nice place for us to lay our heads.

Here are a few places we found today.

This is option one.  This one rents for $1,200/month.  It is small, but it looks very cozy.  The price is okay, and the best part is the great view of a Halliburton Frac site right out the back picture window.  It is about 5 miles north of town with a great southern exposure.  Utilities are not existent, but we could probably tap into that light tower in the backyard. 

This is option two, it is much more spacious, but does come with a hefty price tag of $2,000/month.  It does have more than one room, and also has electricity and a fireplace.    The view is not as great as the frac site, but it does have a great view of a large cattle farm, and when the wind is right, you might even be able to smell the countryside.   This one as well is about 5 miles north of town.  Some work would be needed to remove the graffiti off of the walls, but hey, it would be worth it.  

Please weigh in with which option you think we should go with...it really is a super hard decision.
