rent $$$

[Guest bikesearcher]

recently moved to nyc and realized just how fucking expensive it really is to live around here or anywhere.

for those in the city, and those in other cities,

just curious

how much do you pay for rent?

roomates?

[LetsGetSerious]

I live in akron, oh. not really a BIG city, but a city nonetheless.

My roommate and I split the $600 rent (for two bed/two bath/about 900 square feet), ~$60-100 electric bill, and $90 for cable an internet. Our place is in a nice-ish neighborhood.

rent in richmond is pretty sweet. grace street can be shady but the apartments there are so spacious and full of all sorts of interesting characters. lots of great places in the fan to live in.

i live around va beach, and the rent here isn't bad at all. 3 bedroom townhouse split 3 ways adds up to $410 a month for me.

[jilla82]

right now im paying $600 for a small studio in Chicago..but im about to move in w/ 2 friends for $500 a pop in up and coming neighborhood here

[hotboyx2]

And what is the average salary in NY?

[dizzhizz]

Studio in Seoul - close to 750 USD yet required an initial 10,000 USD security deposit.

Come out close to a 1,000 USD a month including utilities.

[Guest jmatsu]

honolulu hawaii- $2000 for a two bed/two bath

tokyo-my mom's for free, but the location kind of sucks/or at various tokyu stays.

[Ryan]

I live off the montrose stop on the L train in Brooklyn. Second floor of a duplex 3 bedroom 1 bathroom. for my room i pay 633. not so bad..

[faust]

And what is the average salary in NY?

no such thing really. average salary in what industry?

[hotboyx2]

Sorry, I meant like minimum wage?

[Icarus]

Minimum wage isn't going to get you appartment in NY, let's put it that way. That said I assume there's got to be affordable housing somewhere in the city for the right socio-economic set, though that's probably concentrated in other burroughs.

Silver Spring, MD, 1930s-era building, app 800 sz ft apt, 2 bedroom, w/d, walkable to metro, split $1475/month with a roomate. Was $1400/month last year. By far the best deal I found after months of looking.

[cheapmuthafukr]

im in a 3 bedroom house with a little apartment behind it... 1000 a month, but im only paying 195 a month. ill be moving soon tho, 3 bedroom house for 750 a month, probably well over 1000 square feet.

of course, this isnt the nicest part of jacksonville, but its not ghetto either. no crack dealers on the corner... they stay in their house here.

[JesseJB]

smack in the middle of downtown Seattle. $700 a month for a prewar 1 bedroom apt. but i got a steal. usually it would be at least $1,300 for a one bed down here.

[MikeN]

I live in a huge apartment on the Lower East Side in Manhattan. The total rent for 4 of us is $4200, and I pay $1050. It's approx 1,800 square feet... we have the entire floor of the building, and we have a washer and dryer in our apartment. Plus two very big full bathrooms, one of which has this crazy bathtub in it!

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

I live in a nice 1 br and 1 bath in a small college town in south tx and pay $400 a month, which is great, but I pay almost half of that in electricity because its hot as hell, litteraly.
