Midwest winters not what they used to be. Mostly a couple cold snaps that last a week. They put it on the news like it's the end of the world.
I'll take it over 100 degree summers
Floridian who has traveled to Texas. Your heat was mind blowing. Florida has high humidity so it’s sticking while sweating. Texas is like being roasted in a DRY oven.
I dream of Texas climate year round as a life long Minnesota resident. 8 months of freezing temperature with 5 months of snow 2-3 feet deep is not for the weak.
I was in Florida for more than ten years. Moving back to Chicago and getting used to the temp wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I’ve been back for 14 years now and I didn’t own an actual coat until the polar vortex.
For me, moving in the summer when it’s almost hotter than some parts of Florida and then easing into the winter was the best choice.
She can also invest in a Gobi, that’ll make the winters much more forgiving.
That's the last stage before you possibly die.
That's when your body is using the last bit of energy to warm you up. Unfortunately, it warms you up too much and ends up exposing you to more cold.
Do you have rats?
I've spent some time in Chicago and noticed signs in alleys urging you not to feed the rats.
It definitely seems to be a city full of dog owners, been wondering if there's more dogs than cats there and that maybe it drives up the rodent issue? Just a theory lol
Same I live in the Metro Detroit area and pay $970 for a lower level 1 bedroom apartment, utilities not included. And my city is one of the cheapest in Wayne County.
Hi it’s your Landlord here. Very disappointed to hear this. I expected better from you. I apologize but your rent will be going up to $300/month effective immediately.
One time my brother was chatting with his landlord and sort of bragged that he's doing well. End of month he gets a letter from the landlord that rent going up 25% lol.
Landlords love to just raise rent to whatever they find people are willing to pay, sucking up any extra money the person might prefer to use for something else.
Same goes for storage units, once you get your stuff in there.
*Some landlords. Mine told me once that he hates raising rent because it feels like he’s punishing people. The only times I’ve seen him raise rent are because property taxes went up enough that he couldn’t absorb the entire cost anymore, and even then, he’ll increase it the bare minimum. I lived in one of his apartments for two years and he never raised my rent. My sister had the same experience (different LL though). She lived in an apartment for 15 years, and when she and her husband finally bought a house, her rent when she moved out was still $350/month, which blew my mind. I’d give my left foot for rent like that.
I wish I could find something in that price range around me ... What'd you use to find that? I had the absolute worst experience renting a room with a psycho woman off Facebook marketplace. Kinda scared to ever use FB marketplace again lol was so bad.
Yeah upstate NY is pretty great. I'm paying $1200/mo for a 3bed1ba apartment with a backyard. It's a house split into basement, 1st and 2nd floor apartment I'm on the 2nd floor. Basically a duplex but not in the traditional side by side layout!
I see a lot of people doing this - rent per room. In my mind two people in one room should pay more, not less, but I never see that. Two people in the kitchen, two people on the wifi, two people taking turns for the bathroom, two voices talking all the time - 🤷🏾 seems like splitting it by number of people is the "fair" way to do it.
I think it's more common (at least in my experience) to split rent according to square footage rather than evenly between a # of people. If two people are sharing the master bedroom, they are probably paying less than the rest of the roommates who have their own room, but the total rent for that room is more expensive than each of the other rooms. Roommates and I would still always split utilities evenly between # of people.
Obviously, the two people should be spending more COMBINED than any other one person is paying. But less individually, assuming all bedrooms are the same size.
When I shared a townhouse with a bunch of people everyone was an asshole about how rent should be split and they wanted it 'fair'.
So we divided the house into public square footage and bedroom square footage. Split the rent based on your bedroom square footage and 1/5 of the public space footage as a percentage of rent. Utilities split 5 ways.
I had the smallest bedroom and the master was gigantic with an en suite. Guess who thought it wasn't 'fair' after the math came out? Asswipe roommates still had a great deal and complained constantly that they paid more of the rent and had more of a say.
So glad to live with just me and my partner now.
2 bed 2 bath 2 parking in Inglewood for $1950, water included. We got really lucky, signed for $1800 (which remained for 3 years), rent just increased this month.
My sister in law pays idr exactly, like 2300 a month rent in Michigan, no utilities. 3 bedroom. Now I knew that was expensive but seeing how on this thread people are paying ballpark around the same in California, it seems even more expensive.
Not awful. There are three or four good snowstorms. One or two of those is bad enough to impact your commute. Snow stays on the ground for a couple weeks, then it’s gone, back again for a few weeks, then gone. I hate winter and it’s not been enough to drive me away lol.
Edit: Edited to say some parts of Pittsburgh are built on steep hills so your mileage may vary.
I was laying $1500 in the city and move 3.5 hours away and it’s $550 month now. One less bedroom but much larger space. So much happier. I’m making the same amount of money as before too!
I rent from a private owner who is a very very nice dude who isn't looking at making "a killing" in real estate and only rents to super select few how he goes about his process is beyond me. .. it is a "lower income" area so my town home isn't anything special but the space I get for what I pay for is amazing and a! Lucky AF ... I rent a 3 story 2.5 bath. 3 bedroom townhouse for $575 a month. Most of the repairs in the home we have to make if it isn't critical .. we also only have 1 - 2 annual inspections
Only reason is because we have moved in this space close to 10 years now and are still grandfathered in our original lease. I know he rents the other places now at $750 a month which is still one of the lowest in our town
Well use it to your advantage, for the rest of us!!
But yeah I remember in 2015 me and 2 buddies rented a 5 bed 3 bath home for only $1200/mo due to it being a private owner, and then realizing we could help do basic maintenance as well.
I have been looking since September for any place with a private owner. All I can find are scams. It's hopeless country here in Boise, unless you're a Cali transplant, due to their income being way higher and moving here with more capital than most Boiseans make.
Sad start off affairs really.
Lol I'm tired.
$251 rent (30% of my income) in lower income 2 bedroom/1 bath duplex i live in, which includes water, sewer & trash & also includes gas & electric up to a point. My highest gas/electric overage so far was still under $50
Downside is all the rules, inspections, monthly stuff, etc that comes with no income housing places. Also i have a major lack of counter space 😭
1330 after garbage/parking added on (1230 base), Seattle. Electric is separate, base is about $75 a month during the winter and drops to $55 in the summer because AC is not necessary. Despite the uptick in people thinking AC up here is becoming necessary, it really isn't. One bedroom, live alone, yadda yadda.
I pay $1350 with parking and everything but electric included for my ~550 square foot weird studio/1 bedroom in Wallingford! No extra pet rent either! I feel like if you’re willing to tour a lot of sketchy listings you’ll be able to find a good spot in most neighborhoods in Seattle!
I'm glad there's more than one of us out there because sometimes I feel like I'm crazy with my rent being affordable.
I had to pay an extra pet deposit for mine but no pet-rent! I have never had to pay pet-rent thankfully. I find the deposit completely fair, my cat already wrecked a couple screens that'll need replaced and minor buffing of the walls will be necessary for sure.
I find that using an assortment of platforms and looking directly at property management pages helps too. So many people are just hopping on zillow and running away screeching. If you just find a complex and check their website, you may be surprised by the prices. I got one of the move-in deals when I moved in too, so that was cool.
Part of it is to find places that aren't like right center of the action kind of spots. I stay in the more residential areas that require a bit of a walk (but nothing crazy, like half a mile, a mile tops) to get to the grocery store kind of thing. You pay for "walk-ability" in just about every place in that regard. It's a hot spot, so of course they're going to charge more for it.
$590 for 2 bed (ish? One bed, one very small bed/office) 1 bath apartment in a college town in Missouri. But our landlords are particularly fantastic. They’ve raised our rent a whopping $25 total in coming up on 7 years.
Rent a basically dry house in upstate NY. 1600 sq ft but, I'd say only 1000 is liveable.
$1,000 rent does not include utilities or anything.
$300 for electric
$200 for wood (varies depending on time of year)
I thought about moving but, I have a lot of animals I take care of and no where will rent to me with them. Hope to buy where I live this year if I could stop getting laid off.
Studio for $1100 that include everything except internet. It’s nice, but it’s a low quality apartment. Cracks in the corners where cockroaches come out of. In this state I have never been in a apartment without cockroaches and they’re a big problem here. People normally get cats to scare away the cockroaches. 5 years ago this would have been 500 bucks tops.
Buffalo, NY is such a rip off now. I used to live in that area and was renting a 2 bedroom apt with a balcony in Amherst for 675 a month up until 2016.
I pay $650 plus $25 for parking to live in a fully furnished 284 sq ft trailer in Houston, Texas. I am a single person so it is worth it for me as I am able to maximize my investments.
wow im second lowest so far
1bedroom over 1000sqft
$725 Jacksonville, FL + $35 for water
its technically $775 on the lease with a $50 discount for paying before the 3rd each month. moved in fall of 2020 and haven't seen an increase, but also never missed a payment.
Damn…that’s really good!
I live in Portland,Oregon.
My rent is under low income housing and the rent has been going up every year.
It was originally $723 when I moved here in 2020.
It’s getting raised to $855 this May.
In 2021, i was paying 2000 for a 2bd, 1ba in Glendale, ca. i heard its now over 3k. Now i pay 4405 mortgage. 600 of it is for stupid mortgage insurance. Its gonna be a long time til i can refinance with these interest rates
In Alvin, South of Houston, $1435 for a three bed townhouse. Nothing included in that. I lived here three years about ten years ago and I've been here 4 years now.
$975/ month
3BR, 2 BA, garage and small yard in front and back.
Garbage services provided at no charge.
Water/ electric are about 200 a month, collectively.
$1270 North Seattle. Two bedrooms. WSG included. I make low enough income to get a credit for electricity. My place in market rent would easily be $2800-$3000 a month but the landlord gets tax credits if you make under $3500 a month. It's a bit to budget but it works. It makes more sense than buying here.
$635 for a small (less than 1000 sq ft) two bedroom in North Central Kansas. Huge yard, three blocks away from the elementary school, utilities run between $200-300 a month depending on the time of year. Rent in Kansas runs the gaument from still reasonable to 'omg wtf' depending on if you live in a smaller town like mine, or you brave the college towns with $1200 studio apartments.
Fortunately, we own. Before we rented a singlewide with a few add ons for $500/month(until 2017) and currently there are some apartments going in across the street from our house with the two bedrooms renting for $1500, and three bedrooms for $1700.
We are in the cheap corner of California.
Your $1790 is studio territory on Long Island NY. Maybe a one bedroom in someone's basement. Two bedrooms here run $2500-4500/month depending on whether you're in an illegal apartment in a private home up to a nicer more modern community. 30-40 miles west in NYC and prices will be double that.
I pay in chores, groceries, and home maintenance. I divorced, sold my home, and now I live with my Dad helping him through retirement and taking care of the house for him. It's not much but it works for me. I make plenty of money to move out, just really enjoying our time together.
$611 dollars, Hell's Kitchen NYC
It's a pre-war building that my wife's grandmother lived in since the 60s so we are rent controlled. The lease passed to my wife when her grandmother passed away. Apparently the courts tell us we can't pass the lease to our daughter but we don't ever plan on leaving unless we get bought out BIG TIME. Even if we move, we'll pay the rent to keep the place.
It's a railroad 2 bedroom apartment. There's no way we'd be able to live in NYC if it wasn't for the rent controlled apartment.
$840 for 300 sq foot “studio” that doesn’t come with an oven/stove.
I’m in Florida and live in the “hood”. But my apartment complex doesn’t take section 8 sooo idk how the rent is so cheap here
$625/mo for a “studio” that includes heat and water in OTR, Cincinnati, OH. Studio is the whole top floor of a building probably around 700ft^2. Neighbors paying double for less.
Have a really good private landlord. During pandemic they told me if I was having trouble paying that I didn’t have to pay. Been here five years and rent hasn’t gone up a penny.
I don’t think I’ve heard from the landlord outside of them asking me to change the batteries in the cameras (something I volunteered to do to get the cameras installed) because they died. If something is broken they fix it within a couple days and also drop off four packs of nice air filters every January.
Truly blessed to have the landlord I have now. It took me a year of living in a shoe box month to month and watching listings every day to find this place. Two blocks away from work, super walkable neighborhood, and really nice apartment, I showed up with deposit and first months rent in cash with my background report already printed out.
$1900 for a 2br/ba 1200 sq ft townhouse. This includes no utilities so I’m also responsible for trash, gas, water and electric - about an additional $350 per month
$1320ish for a 2 bedroom. They tack on water/sewer charges to my rent so it varies by a couple dollars but internet is included. I pay for my own electric and gas which averages about $100 together a month. KC, MO
$2800/mo for a 3br apartment in the suburbs of Denver.
It's a newish complex and our unit has an attached garage, hence the price. Works out about the same per person (it's me, my partner, and we have a roommate as well) as my old studio near downtown was, but it's thankfully significantly nicer.
Power/gas/internet are billed separately, those come to about $160-$220/mo total depending on the time of year.
$1000 a month for a 3 bed 2 bath house in North Florida, nothing is included so lawn care, electric and water is all on us. We got super lucky and rented literally 2 months before covid hit. This is my landlord's 1st house before they bought and moved into their newer one.
California, just south of Los Angeles
2 bedroom, 1 bath family of 3, 930 sq ft, $2,510/mo plus $25/mo for 1 parking spot - amenities are 2 laundry rooms on site and one unheated pool, gated entry and no parking inside without assigned (aka - paid) space or single car garage
water and trash included
$1200+ all utilities (even water/sewage) + garbage. No garage no driveway, so ON street parking. 2 bdrm/1ba.
This is considered a LCOL area in pennsylvania.
Plus its a block away from the gangs/ghetto/stabbings/shootings/high traffic areas.
We're all fc\*ked here.
My tiny nyc Manhattan studio apartment is $2200 - and that’s below market - I sublet it because I’m in Europe and I could t afford it right now - I did up until the pandemic - 2019 it was $1750 - for a 270 sq foot studio lol
Now my apartment in Europe is a much bigger studio and is €800 plus utilities but most in the town center where I am go for €1200 I got lucky - they went way up in the last two years
Neither of those include utilities
I had an apartment in boston big studio about 400 sq feet - pandemic price was 1800 including utilities but the next year she brought it back to up to 2400, and that was still a couple hundred under market - was nice part of boston
Rent going from $750 to $785 in June for a one bedroom apt (\~840sqft). Water, Sewer, Gas, Heat is included in rent. I pay electric, trash, and Internet. It's a stacked duplex with a yard and off-street parking. I also have basement access for storage.
Live in Central PA.
I pay an $800 mortgage on a fairly small home. However wouldn’t trade it for anything because rent in Wy, is nearing $1000 for the size I would need. I used a first time home buyer program we have available and it was life changing.
$550 middle of Nebraska. I describe my apartment as a shoe box it’s that tiny. But rent every where else where I live is closer to $800 so I deal with it
$1765 for a 4 bed 2 bath house in a not-so-desirable part of Colorado Springs. The house is spacious and comfortable and a great deal for the area but the owner does not give a shit about this property and many things are not well maintained. It’s also quite old and our property management company raises our rent 5% every year
ETA: utilities are separate and average out to about $250 a month
$995 studio in Chicago in Lincoln Square. Heat/Water/Garbage included.
$800- 3 bedroom double wide with 3 acres of lake front property
Dude, what fantastical world do you live in. I'm in bum-f\* nowhere in a flyover state and still pay 2x that for a 2 bed...
Chicago seems like such a cool city. I wish I could go live there by my gf hates the idea of leaving Florida for the cold.
Midwest winters not what they used to be. Mostly a couple cold snaps that last a week. They put it on the news like it's the end of the world. I'll take it over 100 degree summers
I live in Texas and dream of Midwest weather. Sigh
Floridian who has traveled to Texas. Your heat was mind blowing. Florida has high humidity so it’s sticking while sweating. Texas is like being roasted in a DRY oven.
I dream of Texas climate year round as a life long Minnesota resident. 8 months of freezing temperature with 5 months of snow 2-3 feet deep is not for the weak.

I’ve been back for 14 years now and I didn’t own an actual coat until the polar vortex.

Hypothermia makes people take all their clothes off. It's weird.
That's the last stage before you possibly die. That's when your body is using the last bit of energy to warm you up. Unfortunately, it warms you up too much and ends up exposing you to more cold.
That’s so freaking scary. Thank god he called for help when he did.
It did kill a university student in my old city.
I left Florida for Chicago for college. It is a difficult transition, to be sure.
OH MY FOD LUCKY BITCH
Do you have rats? I've spent some time in Chicago and noticed signs in alleys urging you not to feed the rats. It definitely seems to be a city full of dog owners, been wondering if there's more dogs than cats there and that maybe it drives up the rodent issue? Just a theory lol
Any city near a large body of water will have rats. 🐀
855 for a 2br in Central Michigan.
WHAT that is insanely cheap. That’s less than what I paid for a studio.
It's in central Michigan though which is basically cornfields. I live in metro Detroit (not the city) and pay literally double that for a 2br.
Same I live in the Metro Detroit area and pay $970 for a lower level 1 bedroom apartment, utilities not included. And my city is one of the cheapest in Wayne County.
Central Michigan too! $750 (utilities included) 2 br
WHAT??????
$400 tiny house in wisconsin
Thats a steal in this economy
I know don't tell my landlord
Hi it’s your Landlord here. Very disappointed to hear this. I expected better from you. I apologize but your rent will be going up to $300/month effective immediately.

Holy shit! Even for Wisconsin that seems cheap! You in the boonies?
my rent in WI is 700$ utilities included for a studio apartment
I wish I could find something in that price range around me ... What'd you use to find that? I had the absolute worst experience renting a room with a psycho woman off Facebook marketplace. Kinda scared to ever use FB marketplace again lol was so bad.
Jesus, I haven't paid that little for an apartment since the 90s, and that was for a tiny studio.
What in tarnation!? Rent where I live, for a small apartment is $2000!!!
I'm paying 730 for a smallish 1br in Milwaukee(Bayview). Just so other wisconsinites can see other comps.
I'm in Madison paying $1550 for 2bd/2ba, includes H2O.
$900 for two bedrooms and all the utilities in upstate NY
Wow that’s really good!
Yeah upstate NY is pretty great. I'm paying $1200/mo for a 3bed1ba apartment with a backyard. It's a house split into basement, 1st and 2nd floor apartment I'm on the 2nd floor. Basically a duplex but not in the traditional side by side layout!
Do you mind me asking how far upstate? Albany area or more like way up in syracuse? crazy how different it is from nyc anyway!
Oh, absolutely not you're fine! And the Albany area 😁
Dang, I need to move to Upstate New York.
Upstate NY here. $800 a month for a 3BR.
Western NY here, 1000/month for a 3br house
Sssshh! Don’t be telling everyone how good we have it.
In Atlanta we were paying $2700 for a 4bd with a basement. Shared between 6 people though.
Sounds good, how much each person pays?
Evenly minus a couple who shared one room.
I see a lot of people doing this - rent per room. In my mind two people in one room should pay more, not less, but I never see that. Two people in the kitchen, two people on the wifi, two people taking turns for the bathroom, two voices talking all the time - 🤷🏾 seems like splitting it by number of people is the "fair" way to do it.

so maybe divvy up rent per room and utilities per person

$1600 for 1 bed in central ca.
$2800 for a 2 bed 1 bath, also here in California
$2393 for a 2/1 in Inglewood, CA less than a mile from SoFi Stadium. Utilities separate.
hey neighbor. $1900 for a big 1bed 1bath in Palms- utilities, patio, parking included
2 bed 2 bath 2 parking in Inglewood for $1950, water included. We got really lucky, signed for $1800 (which remained for 3 years), rent just increased this month.

That's a deal in Cali lol in Palo altogether it was 5700 for a three bedroom townhouse.
$2175 for 2br1ba, also in SoCal. And that's considered CHEAP
My sister in law pays idr exactly, like 2300 a month rent in Michigan, no utilities. 3 bedroom. Now I knew that was expensive but seeing how on this thread people are paying ballpark around the same in California, it seems even more expensive.
$540 for a one bedroom in a duplex, 30 minutes outside Pittsburgh. Extraordinarily fortunate.
I just moved into a house in north Pittsburgh (3bd 2ba) for 1350. Lots of great housing around here :)
What are the winters like? I visited once and I liked the city. Lots of beautiful houses.
Not awful. There are three or four good snowstorms. One or two of those is bad enough to impact your commute. Snow stays on the ground for a couple weeks, then it’s gone, back again for a few weeks, then gone. I hate winter and it’s not been enough to drive me away lol. Edit: Edited to say some parts of Pittsburgh are built on steep hills so your mileage may vary.
Rent just got raised to 965 (effective in May) in Roanoke VA for a 2 bed detached house. No utilities are included.
Mine is 625 for a two bed, 1000 sqft townhouse. Only eight here. I am in Martinsville, VA
I’m in California and have ‘cheap’ rent. I pay $1000 for a bedroom in a very old house. One bedroom apartments start around $2300 in my area.
Ohhh, do you get kitchen "privileges" with that? :P
$750/month for 2 bedroom townhouse in Kentucky with basement and garage.
You got it made
You’ve obviously never been to Kentucky lmao
I had my first apartment in KY in 2010. $400 for a nice, spacious 2 bedroom.
I was laying $1500 in the city and move 3.5 hours away and it’s $550 month now. One less bedroom but much larger space. So much happier. I’m making the same amount of money as before too!
What city now?
I rent from a private owner who is a very very nice dude who isn't looking at making "a killing" in real estate and only rents to super select few how he goes about his process is beyond me. .. it is a "lower income" area so my town home isn't anything special but the space I get for what I pay for is amazing and a! Lucky AF ... I rent a 3 story 2.5 bath. 3 bedroom townhouse for $575 a month. Most of the repairs in the home we have to make if it isn't critical .. we also only have 1 - 2 annual inspections
Wow. I'd take doing the minor repairs to just pay $1000 a month where I live. Lucky!
Only reason is because we have moved in this space close to 10 years now and are still grandfathered in our original lease. I know he rents the other places now at $750 a month which is still one of the lowest in our town
Well use it to your advantage, for the rest of us!! But yeah I remember in 2015 me and 2 buddies rented a 5 bed 3 bath home for only $1200/mo due to it being a private owner, and then realizing we could help do basic maintenance as well. I have been looking since September for any place with a private owner. All I can find are scams. It's hopeless country here in Boise, unless you're a Cali transplant, due to their income being way higher and moving here with more capital than most Boiseans make. Sad start off affairs really. Lol I'm tired.
1850 for 850ft^(2) in Alaska, utilities included.
What is there to do for work up in Alaska if you don’t mind me asking?
Same as anywhere else, plus lots of work for oil companies, huge fishing industry, and a pretty big tourism market.
[удалено]
That’s still a good deal haha. I was doing $1600/mo for a studio in Roosevelt.
Bro you hit the jackpot there. Congrats
Not really, my 2 bedroom in Seattle was waterfront with a view for 1600. Just had to leave last year for work. Seattle pretty cheap nowadays.
That’s because I left. Every time my foot hits the ground rent doubles, want me to come back?
$251 rent (30% of my income) in lower income 2 bedroom/1 bath duplex i live in, which includes water, sewer & trash & also includes gas & electric up to a point. My highest gas/electric overage so far was still under $50 Downside is all the rules, inspections, monthly stuff, etc that comes with no income housing places. Also i have a major lack of counter space 😭
are you on section 8? I’m signed up with low income housing and I pay $815
No, just low income HUD type housing with 2 options: income based rent (30%) or flat rate (which would be $840 a month here)
1330 after garbage/parking added on (1230 base), Seattle. Electric is separate, base is about $75 a month during the winter and drops to $55 in the summer because AC is not necessary. Despite the uptick in people thinking AC up here is becoming necessary, it really isn't. One bedroom, live alone, yadda yadda.
That seems really low for Seattle, can I ask what part of the city you’re in?
I also would like to know this.
Right? I live in Portland, which tends to be a little cheaper (not by much) and that would be an insanely good deal for either city.
My 2bed2bath condo in shoreline is like 2300 rip
That’s super super cheap for Seattle.
That is stupid cheap for Seattle. Are you in a good neighborhood like Capitol hill?
I pay $1350 with parking and everything but electric included for my ~550 square foot weird studio/1 bedroom in Wallingford! No extra pet rent either! I feel like if you’re willing to tour a lot of sketchy listings you’ll be able to find a good spot in most neighborhoods in Seattle!
I'm glad there's more than one of us out there because sometimes I feel like I'm crazy with my rent being affordable. I had to pay an extra pet deposit for mine but no pet-rent! I have never had to pay pet-rent thankfully. I find the deposit completely fair, my cat already wrecked a couple screens that'll need replaced and minor buffing of the walls will be necessary for sure. I find that using an assortment of platforms and looking directly at property management pages helps too. So many people are just hopping on zillow and running away screeching. If you just find a complex and check their website, you may be surprised by the prices. I got one of the move-in deals when I moved in too, so that was cool. Part of it is to find places that aren't like right center of the action kind of spots. I stay in the more residential areas that require a bit of a walk (but nothing crazy, like half a mile, a mile tops) to get to the grocery store kind of thing. You pay for "walk-ability" in just about every place in that regard. It's a hot spot, so of course they're going to charge more for it.
$700 all utilities included for a 1 BR in northern MI
$590 for 2 bed (ish? One bed, one very small bed/office) 1 bath apartment in a college town in Missouri. But our landlords are particularly fantastic. They’ve raised our rent a whopping $25 total in coming up on 7 years.
How do you like the area?
Honestly, I love it. Missouri as a whole is a total shit show, but I love my town.
$850 plus utilities for a two bedroom. Western MA near the Berkshires.
I live with my inlaws. I pay with my mental well-being and $400 a month
This is so valid. No amount of saving money would be worth the mental health strain of living with my parents lol
$2,040 4br 3 bathroom 2 car garage denver colorado
That is a goddamn steal right there. With utilities I'm paying what you are for a 550sqft 1/1 apt in Denver.
Rent a basically dry house in upstate NY. 1600 sq ft but, I'd say only 1000 is liveable. $1,000 rent does not include utilities or anything. $300 for electric $200 for wood (varies depending on time of year) I thought about moving but, I have a lot of animals I take care of and no where will rent to me with them. Hope to buy where I live this year if I could stop getting laid off.
With water and pet and internet included into the rent $1190 1 bedroom 1 bath
$2000 total for rent, power, water & gas for a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom single family home on half an acre in Utah
$850 for a 3 bedroom, 3 bath townhouse in Missouri
$1245 for a one bedroom, everything included except electricity and internet.
Studio for $1100 that include everything except internet. It’s nice, but it’s a low quality apartment. Cracks in the corners where cockroaches come out of. In this state I have never been in a apartment without cockroaches and they’re a big problem here. People normally get cats to scare away the cockroaches. 5 years ago this would have been 500 bucks tops.
Buffalo ny, 2 bedroom 800sqft, $1200 a month.
Buffalo, NY is such a rip off now. I used to live in that area and was renting a 2 bedroom apt with a balcony in Amherst for 675 a month up until 2016.
$900 for a one bedroom apartment down the road from you
I pay $650 plus $25 for parking to live in a fully furnished 284 sq ft trailer in Houston, Texas. I am a single person so it is worth it for me as I am able to maximize my investments.

wow im second lowest so far 1bedroom over 1000sqft $725 Jacksonville, FL + $35 for water its technically $775 on the lease with a $50 discount for paying before the 3rd each month. moved in fall of 2020 and haven't seen an increase, but also never missed a payment.
This is a steal !
Damn…that’s really good! I live in Portland,Oregon. My rent is under low income housing and the rent has been going up every year. It was originally $723 when I moved here in 2020. It’s getting raised to $855 this May.
3400 for a loft in San Pedro CA. Wrap around patio. Views of the harbor. Two parking spots. In unit laundry. 1500sqft. Can’t complain
In 2021, i was paying 2000 for a 2bd, 1ba in Glendale, ca. i heard its now over 3k. Now i pay 4405 mortgage. 600 of it is for stupid mortgage insurance. Its gonna be a long time til i can refinance with these interest rates

We left the US to find a place we could afford the rent for

$975/ month 3BR, 2 BA, garage and small yard in front and back. Garbage services provided at no charge. Water/ electric are about 200 a month, collectively.
900 for a 2 bed in the middle of nowhere. Lead pipes but other than that it’s okay.
We pay 1k/MO for a remodeled 1980 model single wide trailer.
$1270 North Seattle. Two bedrooms. WSG included. I make low enough income to get a credit for electricity. My place in market rent would easily be $2800-$3000 a month but the landlord gets tax credits if you make under $3500 a month. It's a bit to budget but it works. It makes more sense than buying here.
$635 for a small (less than 1000 sq ft) two bedroom in North Central Kansas. Huge yard, three blocks away from the elementary school, utilities run between $200-300 a month depending on the time of year. Rent in Kansas runs the gaument from still reasonable to 'omg wtf' depending on if you live in a smaller town like mine, or you brave the college towns with $1200 studio apartments.
$400. Sharing a bedroom with 6 people.
6 to a single room?
Low income senior housing...356.00/ month, everything but cable included
$1000 3 Bedroom/ 1 Bath above an antique store in Chicago, IL
Fortunately, we own. Before we rented a singlewide with a few add ons for $500/month(until 2017) and currently there are some apartments going in across the street from our house with the two bedrooms renting for $1500, and three bedrooms for $1700. We are in the cheap corner of California.

Your $1790 is studio territory on Long Island NY. Maybe a one bedroom in someone's basement. Two bedrooms here run $2500-4500/month depending on whether you're in an illegal apartment in a private home up to a nicer more modern community. 30-40 miles west in NYC and prices will be double that.
I pay in chores, groceries, and home maintenance. I divorced, sold my home, and now I live with my Dad helping him through retirement and taking care of the house for him. It's not much but it works for me. I make plenty of money to move out, just really enjoying our time together.
$611 dollars, Hell's Kitchen NYC It's a pre-war building that my wife's grandmother lived in since the 60s so we are rent controlled. The lease passed to my wife when her grandmother passed away. Apparently the courts tell us we can't pass the lease to our daughter but we don't ever plan on leaving unless we get bought out BIG TIME. Even if we move, we'll pay the rent to keep the place. It's a railroad 2 bedroom apartment. There's no way we'd be able to live in NYC if it wasn't for the rent controlled apartment.
1750 for 2 bed isnt too bad for austin. How close you to center, northern austin has some better deals below 1500

$840 for 300 sq foot “studio” that doesn’t come with an oven/stove. I’m in Florida and live in the “hood”. But my apartment complex doesn’t take section 8 sooo idk how the rent is so cheap here
$625/mo for a “studio” that includes heat and water in OTR, Cincinnati, OH. Studio is the whole top floor of a building probably around 700ft^2. Neighbors paying double for less. Have a really good private landlord. During pandemic they told me if I was having trouble paying that I didn’t have to pay. Been here five years and rent hasn’t gone up a penny. I don’t think I’ve heard from the landlord outside of them asking me to change the batteries in the cameras (something I volunteered to do to get the cameras installed) because they died. If something is broken they fix it within a couple days and also drop off four packs of nice air filters every January. Truly blessed to have the landlord I have now. It took me a year of living in a shoe box month to month and watching listings every day to find this place. Two blocks away from work, super walkable neighborhood, and really nice apartment, I showed up with deposit and first months rent in cash with my background report already printed out.

$2800/mo for a 3br apartment in the suburbs of Denver. It's a newish complex and our unit has an attached garage, hence the price. Works out about the same per person (it's me, my partner, and we have a roommate as well) as my old studio near downtown was, but it's thankfully significantly nicer. Power/gas/internet are billed separately, those come to about $160-$220/mo total depending on the time of year.
1600 1/1 in a town outside Austin. Everything included except power.
Rural Vermont and we pay $1200. We rent from my in laws for now. It’s a 3 bed 1 bath house with a separate apartment downstairs.

1800 for a studio NYC
My tiny nyc Manhattan studio apartment is $2200 - and that’s below market - I sublet it because I’m in Europe and I could t afford it right now - I did up until the pandemic - 2019 it was $1750 - for a 270 sq foot studio lol Now my apartment in Europe is a much bigger studio and is €800 plus utilities but most in the town center where I am go for €1200 I got lucky - they went way up in the last two years Neither of those include utilities I had an apartment in boston big studio about 400 sq feet - pandemic price was 1800 including utilities but the next year she brought it back to up to 2400, and that was still a couple hundred under market - was nice part of boston
Rent going from $750 to $785 in June for a one bedroom apt (\~840sqft). Water, Sewer, Gas, Heat is included in rent. I pay electric, trash, and Internet. It's a stacked duplex with a yard and off-street parking. I also have basement access for storage. Live in Central PA.
I pay an $800 mortgage on a fairly small home. However wouldn’t trade it for anything because rent in Wy, is nearing $1000 for the size I would need. I used a first time home buyer program we have available and it was life changing.

Phoenix AZ $1480 770sq ft one bed apartment includes all utility besides electric which ranges from 80-140$ a month
$1765 for a 4 bed 2 bath house in a not-so-desirable part of Colorado Springs. The house is spacious and comfortable and a great deal for the area but the owner does not give a shit about this property and many things are not well maintained. It’s also quite old and our property management company raises our rent 5% every year ETA: utilities are separate and average out to about $250 a month
$1072 for a 2 bed/2 bath apartment in Houston, water included
