Needing opinions.

Apartment or house, what would you do?

The fiance and I are looking for a place to live after our contract runs out next month. It seems that when we find a house we want in a good neighborhood the prices are from 600-800. Well I'd prefer to spend less then 600 so we can save money before we get married. We want a 2 bedroom house. We have a Siberian Husky, so she needs room to play.

Apartments are cheaper and could help us save money in the long run. But, our puppy won't have her own backyard. Apartments seem to range from 375-500 for a one bedroom and the bills are cheaper. The fiance wants a house and it doesn't bother me what we get. Put yourself in our shoes (college students, getting married next May, niether of us have the jobs we are working towards) what would you do?

Possibly at Wyandotte. Also, Platt County (MO) is another.

There are a few options for first time homeowners, and I'm sure all have strenths and weaknesses. I think Fanny May is the big one.
