Is $885 alot to rent this apartment?

2 bed 2 bath 1088 sq. ft., washer and dryer in unit, 1/2 garage space and in good neighborhood. I have to pay all utilities. :( I know it's said that you should only spend 1/3 of your monthly income on rent, but I'm looking at around 45% of my monthly income with rent and utilities.

For most of the country that's good to slightly high. Here in CA what that place offers would be $1700+.

Up here in Michigan that is ridiculious. Something like 600 is closer to what a medium sized one would be.

Well, over here in Illinois that could be considered slightly high.

At least you don't live in Detroit....

Depends on where you live. I live in Texas, and my apartment is 2 br, 2 bath, 1,100 sq foot, fully furnished, and the cost per month is about $950, everything except for electricity included. So monthly I pay like $500 ish.

It's a really nice apartment and I like living there, so it's worth it to me.

I'd say keep on looking and try and find something cheaper.ExoticAnimal

Depends where are you?

Does it come with a microwave? That's a dealbreaker.SolidSnake35

I'm just happy if the thing has doors :P

Depends on what part of the country, I would say that's pretty average though. Maybe slightly high.

Now that is brilliant

Seems a bit high for oh

As many have stated, when compared to the national average then it is slightly high. However, in many locations that is rather low.

To give an example, I live on the outskirts of one of the fastest growing areas in the United States and that amount sounds normal, if not low, for my area.

However, one can rent an old trailer in the middle of nowhere close to my hometown for much less than that. Just do not expect pizza to be delivered to your house, expect no cell phone signal, and do not even bother trying to get cable or DSL internet. You may also have to drive out of the county to find a job too.

That's pretty high

We have to pay $400 for something like that in Australia, PER WEEK!!!!

Nope, near where I live there are alot of rich bastards, and everytime I walk through their streets I felt like their beautiful two/three storey houses are laughing at me. Damn you rich people, some day I'll be laughing at you.

Is that why there are many criminals in California due to high rents or whatever?

I guess it's time to vote for the "Rent is too Damn High" party. :D

That man lives rent-free. He has no room to b**** about the rent. Granted that free rent is in exchange for maintainence of the building he lives in, but still...
