It is essential that you, as a potential renter, know what you need. Some people are simply looking for a place to eat, sleep, and shower while others are looking for a lifestyle or a space that will accommodate various activities, such as working, entertaining, and hobbies. Think about what the space needs to do for you and make a list of your specific requirements. For example, do you need built-in kitchen appliances? Is a washer and dryer essential or is there a laundry nearby? Do you need easy access to the metro or do you need parking for a car? These are questions that only you may answer. Another important aspect is the all-important budget. What will your money get you and what are you prepared to sacrifice to stay within budget?
Remember when you assess your requirements to differentiate between wants and needs because, unfortunately, you will most likely have to make a compromise somewhere. Your needs are the essentials that you are not able to survive without and your wants are those little extras that make your life more comfortable but are not essential. Take your list of requirements and write your wants and needs in different colors. Then, rank them in order of importance. Remember your needs are always more important than your wants.

Ramps: To conserve steel for World War II, stairs were not built. Thus ramps are used to get from floor to floor.
Timeliness: On September 11, 1941 the groundbreaking took place and completion was on January 15, 1943. There are five floors above ground and a total of two basement levels. With normal circumstances, the building should have been completed in 4 years. Workers worked around the clock to achieve this record time.
Nickname: Prior to 9/11, the Pentagon was dubbed "Ground Zero." At the time of this origin, there was a belief that if Nuclear war erupted, the soviets would target the Pentagon first.
Leadership: The over seer of the Pentagon also over saw the Manhattan Project. Major Leslie Groves efforts on the Manhattan Project led to the creation of the worlds first atomic bomb.
Bathrooms: Upon the Pentagons creation the building was segregated, therefore 284 bathrooms were built to separate the black employees from the white employees.
Corridors: The Pentagon is 17.5 miles long. General Eisenhower once got lost looking for his office while inside the Pentagon.
