I am curiouse as to what the rent charges are to those of you who live in apartment buildings. The rent here is ridiculously high. A bachelor apartment downtown in the city I live in can cost as high as $1,000.00 per month. One bedrooms? A sky rocketing $ 1,200.00 and higher. I have been renting rooms in other peoples homes since I was 18. Now I have a bachelor apartment of my own, and am paying $700.00 per month. My power only comes to about $30.00 as I dont have cable or any access to the internet. I think that the reason why my apartment is so cheap is because of the location as well. Which has its pros and cons as well. I live above where I work, but because it is in the middle of downtown I have to deal with late night partiers and drunks walking home at 2:00 in the morning. What is the atmosphere in your neighbourhood and are you pleased with your rental fees?

Re: Rental rates
My tiny one bedroom is 460 which is more expensive than most that size becuase it's in a large "luxury" complex. I won't say what city, but believe me, the reason why it's so cheap is because no one wants to live here.[COLOR=#4b0082][B][SIZE=4][FONT=trebuchet ms]“If you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right.”

Re: Rental rates
Yes, I am. I have disgruntled ex-members who wish to spill my blood.

Re: Rental rates
Our population is roughly 18773. Give or take a few. It used to be an old miner town but has developed tremendously, especially with the diamond mines. It expanded our economy.Originally posted by karoaperComment

Re: Rental rates
I'm paying $600 for a room...and I don't even have my own bathroom...here in the Bay Area, everything is ridiculously expensive. When I was living with my ex, we were renting a descent-sized 1 bedroom apt. for $1000, but that was cheap because it was far from downtown...my brother is renting in Sao Paulo and he has a 3 bedroom in an excellent part of the city...he pays $300 (US dollars) a month...I know there is no comparison, but the minimum wage out there is about $150 (US) a month, so $300 for a single family home is really cheap...
PS: I was even considering asking for a discount on my rent, since I'm the only sane person in this house...the other 5 roommates are all foreigners who are often calling each other names in mandarim...it's actually hilarious when they do that...oh yeah, and there is also a Brazilian guy...who happens to be an xxxxxxx (no news there...all of them are)Last edited by Jen; 09-21-2006, 09:52 PM.Comment

Re: Rental rates
My sister is paying $425 in Atlanta for a two bedroom dump in the GTech area. That's how much I paid in '96 for one room so she found a relative anomaly. Atlanta prices are ridiculous but not as bad as Cali where I'm headed to next. San Fran is CRAZY and LA doesn't seem much better. Still in these cities the general standard of living is higher and you supposedly make more which helps balance it out (read yeah right). Here's something totally nutz ... my sister lived in SoHo NY, NY for several years. She was paying $1,350 for a 450sqft "apartment". You could go to the bathroom and brush your teeth at the same time, then roll into your shower. Have fun with that ...Comment
