"We should have bought our Queens apartment," my husband lamented this morning. 

Our one-bedroom walk-up with a clanky old heater, no parking and occasional water bug problem was not without its charms, of course. But with a baby on the way, a new job for my husband that wasn't accessible by subway and the siren song of more than one bathroom, we moved on to greener pastures—the New Jersey suburbs.

What idiots.

Of course, by now you've heard that Amazon is moving its headquarters to Long Island City in Queens, N.Y. Had we held on to our apartment in Sunnyside, which is a stop or two off the 7 train from Long Island City, we could have sold the place for roughly a trillion dollars. News of Amazon's new headquarters has already sparked a condo feeding frenzy in Queens. 

Good news for those apartment owners and developers in the area though, right? Also for those in Crystal City in Arlington, Va., the other are that will see an Amazon apartment acceleration effect.

Anyway, those property managers will have their choice of residents, those lucky ducks. If you're in one of those areas, or if you manage a property in a popular area, how do you make sure you're picking the best residents for your community?
