How much is rent for a 1 bedroom apt in your area??

[MandalorFett]

Just so you guys know why rent is so ridiculous in coastal So Cal; the temps here range between mid 50's to high 90's all year, with most days between mid 60's to mid 80's. But don't pack up and move just yet, prices are out of control!!!!!!!!

Deb, let me know if I can help you look for a place since I work in the development industry.

For a decent place in my town, it's gonna run you 1600-3000k, on the high side. In any coastal community in SoCal, it will cost you a premuim. Here, rents are going up, because the demand to be here is such that the vacancy rate is hovering around 2%- 3%. It's difficult even for afluent folks to currently buy, because of the super tight lending guidelines, forcing afluent buyers to rent, further driving rents up.

i had to put $73,800 DOWN on my house in order to get a mortgage. as in, that was the cash cost due at signing...

I don't yet know what city he is in, but I know it is HOT and a small town, so it has its drawbacks

In Atlanta I have seen between $450-$550-$675 on up. Depending on what you like. There are some good deals in town...Those are the ones close to some of the colleges too.

Also! This is the Hub of Dragon Con and a famous board member here known as the Sniffer...LOL

For my 2 bedroom half finished bacement duplex we pay 500$ a month then god knows what on top of that for everything else. My brother is paying 650+$ for a 3 bedroom duplex then extra for his dog(dane) and its got a gurage where as my place dont.

So for a apartment a 1 bedroom would be hard pressed to find and if you did it would prolly cost as much for the duplexes.

Between $600 and $800 around my neck of the woods.

Well, I can't comment on that one. There ARE some nice areas I guess, but they always say, money can't buy you love.

:love

Yeah, I think Jim can sell ice cubes to Eskimo's.

Maybe that is why he is in a "small town" in So Cal, the best of both worlds.
