RE: Apartment Hunting
It looks lovely! Hope you can get it. The other one wasn't too bad really .....

Anyway, a similar apartment goes for the same price here in Oz. Good luck mate. Big Grin

May I ask where do you live? Just a big general area. Because the rent is so low where you are.

Not just low, but the apartment is also spacious. I just moved to Queens and could rent over three of those apartments for what I'm paying in rent.

Wow. It's cheap down there. We're paying about 2k+++ per month for anything close to that. But I do live in the city.

Yea, price range is about the same here.

RE: Apartment Hunting
Yeah apartments are cheaper and overall pretty nice usually. But you've got to remember pay is also lower here. It's not bottom of the barrel wages, but it's certainly not New England / California wages either

RE: Apartment Hunting
I'm trying to save for a down payment on a place (a condo would be all I could afford at this point) and for shits and giggles I looked up apartments in my area and there was nothing decent anywhere for less than $900 a month. That's more than half my paycheck.

So I'm back to my savings plan and being disappointed by my purchase options.

Cost of living, people.

Where I live, an apartment goes for about $800. Where I lived before, same apartment for around $1400. The type of jobs I could look into pay what seems like a joke compared to what I could get paid over there. Having said that, $800 is not as cheap as it sounds.
