How much should your average one bedroom apartment cost?
    #9671238 -

how much should an average one bedroom apartment with a dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, bathroom, etc...cost?

looks like the average price in my area is $475 but one i asked about was $599 and it was a shitty looking complex.

how much for a low, run down one?  how much for a new or remodeled one?

edit:  what are those people called that freely help others find an apartment?

google apartments + "your city" and maybe + "cheap"

350 - 699 for a one bedroom depending on the hood and complex.

It depends on where you live. I have a friend who pays 225 for hers but lives in the middle of nowhere. A cheap one will run you 500 around here.

My rent went up to $620 this year.  I wonder how I'm ever going to save enough to get out of here if they keep upping the ante like this.

Apartment pimps?

Seriously tho, I connected with an apt pimp when i moved last year. Craigslist man! This lady was basically the middle man between landlords and apt seekers. Worked out great. I pay $575 for a very spacious one bedroom in an old house in the historic district. I guess some artists lived here before because they had painted murals on the walls. pretty sweet... good luck!

Yes, there's a laundry room with coin-operated washer and dryer.

500-600 for a decent one around here



Roughly the same here for a single bedroom downtown usually includes utilities. But it depends more on where you live than anything else.

A flat in minor metropolis will probably cost about that; bigger cities obviously can charge outrageously more for much less space and service.

However if you don't mind living in slums or crappy low value neighborhoods you can save a damn decent chunk of change.

I pay $450 for two and a half bedrooms.

But I live in the ghetto between a crack-house and a condemned building full of homeless bums.

Really depends on the city and the neighborhood.

My not-so-great one bedroom is $634 a month, parking and utilities included, but I think I could do better if I didn't care about the area.  I'm in the suburbs but not too far from downtown.

New apartments around here are $700-800+

I pay $725 a month.

The good:
the building is fairly new, built in the 70s
off street parking
pool/workout room
near downtown so its a quick commute
awesome balcony w/ great views
pretty nice neighborhood for 20 and 30 something peoples
free heat, my electric bill is about $20 a month in the winter
AC wall unit

the bad:
no washer dryer in my unit
the overall square footage is pretty small.
the AC unit is inefficient and my electric bill gets high in the summer b/c I have to run it sometimes

725 is a lot but i work downtown and my job gives me the option of a free bus pass or $60 toward parking in the structure, which means I still would have to pay $110 a month to park, plus the gas it would take me to drive to and from the suburbs. So I could get a place like what I have now in the burbs for $550, but I would be in the burbs and I dislike the burbs.

I pay $550 a month for a 2 bedroom and that's with ALL utilities included. It's a tiny little apartment though.

I pay 650/month in a small town in Indiana.  It's the second floor on a new townhouse style complex.  No garage (+$80/month), but many parking spots available.  Washer/dryer hookups are provided.  I could definitely stand paying less, considering where I live...
