Just graduated, looking for my own place. Was looking around and 1 bedroom apts/condos around BR are going for roughly $1000-1200 in rent per month.

Never lived alone, any tips? Simply trying to not get ripped off. TIA

In Gainesville I paid 720 a month for a single bedroom which was pretty high in Gainesville. Very affordable cost of living there.

Clearwater my apartment with a single bedroom cost 960 a month.

Rent in BR is high in areas that you aren't likely to die. It's odd that the market supports such prices

Find a roommate. Rent in college towns are insane. Not sure how you are...but find a good roommate. Save up and buy a house asap.

To answer the question: rent in Oxford where I live for a two bed house or apartment is going to run about $1,000/month for a decent place. When I graduated from State the same would have been $800.

Prices seem about right. You’re likely looking at the right places. The New Orleans places like the Saulet and Georgian are in the 1500-1600 range, I believe.

My main tip would be to make sure you have a guaranteed spot in the parking garage.

I have two roommates in a house that’s off of Lower Greenville in Dallas. We pay $1K a person.

I’d say anything that’s around a G and in a somewhat nice/desirable area is a win.

yeah buying a home is my ultimate goal. I have a job and some savings but not enough to buy a home at the moment. Just really don't want to move back in with the parents.

If you have a gun and dog, you should look into renting a cheaper place in a sketchy part of town. Your neighbors are likely to leave you alone because they'll think you're a cop.

600/month, includes water, sewer, trash. Not a big apartment but it's not a studio, it's not in the ghetto, and it has central air.

I'm single and I bought a house. It doesn't cost that much more than renting.
