Where are you living, how much is rent, how many people are you living with?

[pinkybella]

I thought it would be interesting to see how much rent differs in different parts of the country.

My room mates & I don't have a place yet but the 3 of us will be living in Orange, California (we're attending Chapman). Most likely we will have a 3 bedroom for about $2100 which means I'll probably paying something like $700+ utilities/month for my own room.

Where are you living?

How much is rent?

How many people are you living with?

Philadelphia. I'm paying $975/month (including utilities) to live by myself in a doorman building downtown. I figure if I'm already going to be up to my eyeballs in debt, might as well live somewhere nice

That sounds really nice! And its not too expensive (at least by So Cal standards).  (Nice) 1 bedroom apts in So Cal are around $1100 + utilities!

Yeah, it's not too bad, though much more than im accustomed to paying. Also, I'm living in a studio, but it's an "executive" studio, which is the same size of their one bedroom apartments (600 square feet), just laid out differently. I'm moving in on Tuesday, so hopefully I like it!

I'm sure you will. It sounds great!

st louis. 625/mo for a 2bedroom in a cute brick fourplex. im also living by myself.

[pinkybella]

I pay zero dollars because I live with my parents.

You're the luckiest of us all. I would have done the same if I was going to law schol in the same city where my parents are living.

[stephanie says...]

i would rather go into debt than move into my parents house for 3 yers. ugh.

The top two floors of a house in Newton, west of Boston.

Four guys, one girl, and oh yes, ONE BATHROOM.  All the fun you can muster for $460/mo/person.

I'm actually pretty excited, they're all real chill young professionals, which I think might be nice as an escape from the law school crowd.  Although I'm probably going to have to pee in a bush at some point.

Not in law school yet, but...

890/month + utilities for an 1100 sf two-bedroom in north Houston. Washer and dryer and microwave included... it's a nice place -- I lived in the complex already, and it's on a lake. Two people, but I suspect by the time we pay electricity, cable, phone, etc it might run us a good 550/each.
