Quick answer
If the exact apartment is vacant, ask the leasing professional to show it live. If it is occupied, an identical stacked unit or the closest meaningful comparable can still help. Grant’s highest-priority visual checks are the finish package, view, and natural light. Also look at unit condition, obvious construction, noise sources, surroundings, and how the property is maintained. Use the live interaction to ask current questions rather than relying only on older marketing photos. If the shown unit or comparable looks materially dirty, poorly prepared, or concerning, pause and understand why before applying.
