It is time to wine and dine them.

Is there a living room & formal dining room?

Most people like an open floor plan and too often, older homes have a kitchen that is divided from the living room, dining room ,etc.

Thank you Jon, I always enjoy dining from your buffet of knowledge.

Eat-in kitchen PLUS formal dining room.

@Kimberly Miller find the largest possible mirrors for the bathrooms and use them...use red mulch for the landscaping of the house to give it an elegant look before entering so before they even enter it looks pretty buyers that are looking to live in the house just want a pretty looking house and thats a great way to grasp them if there driving by/see it online (usually the first picture) or when they come to view it.Also pick an elegant backsplash for the kitchen and make sure the cabinets in the kitchen are brown not any other color.

I'm also worried about the new dining nook since there are no windows in that corner.

The school has been very well maintained and would be an easy convert into apartments and has signficant common areas for dining and other uses.  

Dining out is a fine thing. 

Budget is $2100/month and the smallest we could do is a 1 bedroom with room for a dining room. (800 sq ft+) From what I've seen the community Elan Midtown would be our best bet but any other options would be considered.2.)
