It really depends on where you live.
My bf and I pay 1500/mo for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, all utilities included. An extra $60 for Internet and then our individual cell phone bills are the "main" bills. I pay 700 and he pays 800. (He makes about twice as much as I do and he works from home so the second bedroom is his office, seemed like a decent split.)

$275/month, live with 1 roommate. 2 bedroom, 1 bath duplex. Questionable neighborhood. The other half of the duplex has a family of 8 or 9 Hispanics. They keep quiet and are pretty much decent.

Prices where I live are basically $1000 per bedroom. We're dealing with a one bedroom for $1200, but need another bedroom since our daughter just turned 2. I can't wait to move, to say the least.

I live in Colorado and pay $815 for rent including $20 a month for pet rent (dog), utilities are not included. Its a 725 sq. ft. 1 bedroom apartment its cute and clean has a gym, pool, clubhouse, centeral air, laundry facility but my apartment has a waher&dryer... and its in a pretty nice area but me and the hubby are definetley outgrowing the place hopeing to move in the next year or so to a bigger place. But I love the location, near the mountains but still in the city very close to all my favorite stores/resturaunts.
Do any of you live in las vegas? I have been wanting to move there sense I was a little girl. I have been there once and didnt want to leave? I want to live near the strip but not super close maybe 30 min. away. Does anybody know of nice areas? The costs of living there?

What does race have to do with who lives there and that they keep quiet? Blacks, caucasians, asians... couldnt be loud neighbors? Idky you had to throw in that their hispanics.

Depending where she's living, certain areas are known for large Hispanic [extended] families cohabitating due to not being able to get on their own leases.
I'd refrain from jumping down her throat about that, it is a very widespread scenario in my area as well and no, generally blacks don't have the same situation because they mostly have citizenship and generally ditto for Asians.

Um, i am a male, but it's all good. And my "keep quiet" statement has more to do with the fact that there are 8 or 9 people crammed into half a Duplex. Just sayin'.
In any case I'm beginning to feel this thread is intended for dancers.

Wow your not in London ru?
I pay £700 for a studio.
Out of curiosity do you have a second job other than dancing? I'm thinking of moving to london and wondering if I can make that kind of rent purely dancing.

No, you're welcome here. She prob. just overlooked that you're male, it's a tiny little icon for both. Right I live next to an overcrowded dwelling & it sucked.

The place is in Atlanta. The apartment is for undergrad and grad students. The average apartment in Atlanta for a decent/safe area is like $1200-1300+ plus additional fees like trash, mandatory renter's insurance, and parking if you live in Downtown or Midtown area. The place is in Downtown which is not the worst but certainly not the most safe. There are many homeless/mentally ill people. Public transportation is pretty good since it by a few train/subway stations.

Oahu Hawaii $1750 all in ( split between myself + stud muffin ). So glad to be GONE honestly .
^ We didn't overspend either. Places less are SAD DIVES and my day job requires 20 hours a week from home so I can't live in a depressing dive.
We are getting ready to pay $840 all in for a place just as good or maybe even a little nicer in our new city.
Having my rent be just $420 TOTAL feels so amazing.
OH .... haha. I forgot the "kicker". It get the "deal" on our Hawaii place , we agreed to only have ONE parking space so usually we would call each other to leave a car 2-3 blocks AWAY or one of us would walk back ( easy without rain, not so easy with rain or with hands full ).
Our new place has spaces for each of us ( covered ) and plenty of guest spaces!

I had a studio and I paid $550. The next place I get can't be more than 900-1000 so I'm thinking no more than 2 bd, downtown Baltimore (I can find it I'll just have to really look)

I live in a major city. $700 base rent/month. 2 bedroom market rate townhouse with patio. In a nice (but not snooty) part of city. I pay electric/water/sewer/trash/internet. Lot parking is free, but if I wanted a garage, would be about $80 extra a month. I pay an extra $20 a month in addition to base rent to have a dog. Plenty of sidewalks and land to walk the dog. Close to everything. I can walk to a ton of places including the gym I go to.
There still are affordable places out there... Though I did have to wait for 2 months on a waiting list to get in the place I have because even for the city I live in, it is a good deal. Always easier to find a good rates somewhere if one can be flexible on when the move-in will be.

We currently pay $840 inclusive for an apt. in a secure building with solar panels on all sides ( it creates it's OWN energy and shoots some out into the grid ). I knew about the place and it took me 4 months of calls / waitlisting to get a crack at it. I'm happy with the choice. The surfaces are beautiful ( faux wood floors / granite / stainless ) . It fits TWO very well and we can host sporadic guests, but don't have space for too many visitors. It's a good mix for us because we didn't want to overspend on housing and sacrifice our frequent road trips.
( pinches self .... WE CURRENTLY PAY HALF WHAT WE USED TO IN OUR HIGH COST AREA )
I also live closer to a strip club THAN I EVER HAVE . We have a club ONE BLOCK away ( I probably won't dance there for privacy ). We will obviously be going as customers very soon. :)

I pay for $1700 (nothing included) for a shitty very small very loud studio in the shitty the part of San Francisco. I'm moving to SoCal in mid August and I'm soooooo happy! I'm getting a decent studio for only $725 in a decent neighborhood.

I am paying around $430-$440 for a room in a household, and I share the bathroom with another person. A friend of mine introduced me to it. I am pretty happy with the arrangement.
I am saving up for my own house, but it's hard to work as many hours as I want because I am also doing school, art, and gym on top of that.

$895 for a 2 bedroom apartment, utilities not included but I got lucky that they were running a discount because rent usually runs $1000+ in this area, even for tiny 1 bedroom apartments. I get worried that by the time lease renewal is up, they're going to suddenly raise it to $1000+

I *think* our base rent is $930 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. It goes up about $40/year. I cringe every time but it's still at least $150 below market rent for similar units.
Both SO & I are now commuting entirely too far for my tastes, but I'm still hesitant to move because we'll end up in a much smaller place for the same price + all the fees with move-in. We'll cling onto our comparatively low 'grandfathered' rates until we move out of state or commit to staying here & buy a home.
Side note: Stop moving here, Californians! Keep your high rent prices!

$1,800 for a tiny one bedroom in Los Angeles, 1/2 mile from the beach. Even though its a cubbie hole; I have my own w/d in my unit, dishwasher, detached one car garage, nobody above me, below me and I share one common wall with my neighbor who is NEVER home, absolutely ideal for camming. What I have is almost impossible to find in my area I literally manifested this place.

Moved out of place I hated and it’s been a month of nomadic living . First house sitting , parents a week , then new bf’s place . He makes me earn my keep though doing these tasks related to his AirBnB rental project .
Not sure if I’ll travel yet. A month of “ free “ living has its perks but I imagine I’ll want my own place very soon.
I’m kind of adding it up too and feel I make less living this way ( less earnings due to not being settled so it doesn’t save much really ).
If I stay in the city I like I’d aim for around 1k again .
