My Finalists

Well, the general evaluations for the 2nd Annual Smallest, Coolest Apartment Contest at Apartmenttherapy.com ended March 30 at midnight. Now the judges working from our top picks and comments have from April 1st through the morning of April 4th to evaluate the reader's choices and determine a top 5 from the West Coast and a top 5 from the East Coast.
