1st Rental Place - Envirtech Towers

Envirtech Towers

Since the beginning when I started SL, I've wanted a place of my own. Probably not to buy since prices are ridiculous, but something relatively low rent. Since most of my time is spent in a dressing room with other people on crowded sims, I needed a place to be able to have a little privacy. Last night I decided it was time to be serious. I just did a search in the classifieds for rental properties. There were tons of openings. I think most of the decent looking ones were all about $400L + a week. since I wasn't into playing that much I just did a search for 150L, that seemed to be the lowest renting price. There were a few listings that I checked out, but the only one that really looked like decent space.

The rental process was easy enough to understand. You enter into the lobby and along the walls are the vendors listing all the available rentals. There were several available when I went so I just sorted through until I find two possibilities. There was an option to map the location so I did that and found that the only 150L place was landlocked but there was one that was 200L that had ocean views. I thought I'd pay the extra 50L for a good view. You touch the vendor to receive a notecard with the rental information and landmark. I went to the landmark to check it out. The space is pretty decent, especially since I didn't want to do much with it. The view is on the water, but I think because of the privacy windows, you can't really see it that well. It's about a 20x30, oddly shaped but the best feature for me was the great vertical space! All the windows and high ceiling to great things to give it an open feel. The floor in textured with a light wood, not perfectly lined up, so you can see the seams and the walls are all floor to ceiling windows.

Outside there is defiantly water, even a couple boats. There is also this very nice pool area, not that any one was out there when I went by to check it out.




I've been searching for some low prim furniture to go in my new place. So far all I've found is a bunch of crap, badly textured. I could do that! So my search continues and my new apartment is still my empty place to change clothes.


Located in the TullyHigh sim, you can get a place like mine in the Envirtech Towers for $200L a week, 100 prim limit, an ocean view and privacy.
