In your area, what does a one bedroom apartment normally go for? What about two bedroom? What is the typical rent where you live?

Expensive where I live. Approx. 850.00 + on a one bedroom and it only goes up from there. There are options... get a cardboard box and move it somewhere under a tunnel.

That's the same for here. A bit less if the apartment is really tiny! The closer you get to DC/Northern VA, the rent really goes up. I used to pay $1150/month for a one bedroom in VA, so the rent here seems much cheaper.

I have a small, 450 sq foot apartment that's quite a bit more than $450 :). But, it's in an awesome downtown location, so I pay for location more than anything else.

there are no apartments 'round these parts. o.O one bedroom house is about six hundred. two bedroom is about eight hundred. unless you want to reallyyy go out there and live outside of 'town.' then it goes up because you'll have tons of property.

Yep. Location definitely affects cost quite a bit. This topic came up, because someone was talking about being able to live on minimum wage in another thread. So, I was curious about what people pay for rent in different areas, as not everyone would be able to live on minimum wage alone.

1 bedroom= $400-$600 2 bedroom= $650+ Houses more expensive to rent here, as demand is high during the recession.
