How was your day today?

My husband and I are looking for a new apartment for my mother-in-law to live in near our current home. We found a nice place and took my mother-in-law to view it today.

自然な表現

My husband and I are looking for a new apartment for my mother-in-law to live in near our current home. We've found a nice place and took her to view it today.

1. You can use the present perfect tense here to connect the past action with the next one.
2. A pronoun to avoid repetition would be more usual.
Your mother-in-law must have been very excited. What did your mother-in-law think of the apartment?

While we were viewing a room in an apartment, a neighbor came to visit us and said, "Could you please speak a little quieter because your voice is so loud?"
 We found out that we had a nervous neighbor and decided not to purchase the room.

While we were viewing a room in an apartment, a neighbor came to visit us and said, "Could you please speak a little quieter because your voice is so loud?"

We found out that we had a nervous neighbor, and decided not to purchase the room.

1. Not wrong, but you could also use reported speech here: "....asked us to speak a little quieter because our voices were so loud."
2. An Oxford comma makes it clear that this is an additional point.
That is unfortunate. It would have been quite annoying for your mother-in-law if she had a neighbour like that. Are there any other properties you are looking at?

We are looking for a studio apartment for my mother-in-law near our house, but on the other hand we are also considering having her live in a geriatric care apartment. She gets lonely and depressed during the day, but we also have full time jobs and can't keep her company all the time.

We are looking for a studio apartment for her near our house, but on the other hand we are also considering having her live in a geriatric care apartment. She gets lonely and depressed during the day, but we    have full-time jobs and can't keep her company all the time.

1. The pronoun avoids confusing repetition here, making it clear that this is the same person you mentioned earlier.
2. A hyphen is required to make a compound before the noun.
2. 'Also' implies that you have previously mentioned someone else who has a full-time job.
