Has anyone in my very limited readership ever moved to an apartment after finding it on the internet and renting it sight unseen? Am I completely stupid for thinking about doing this?

 I think I’ve found one that I like. It meets all our requirements for things that we need in a good apartment. But even so it’s in a city that I know nothing about. So I know nothing about the location. I have read (online of course) that as long as you stay on the west side of this city you should be a-ok but still. The apartment comes in on the right side of our rental budget and the community seems to have a lot of amenities we would like to have.

Have I lost my mind or is this something not too unusual a part of a long move in this day and age?
