I don’t necessarily want to rent forever, just really till I can save up for a down payment for a house.

$1005 for a large studio that includes parking. My building is literally next to the lake, it's safe and close to work, so it's not bad for Chicago.

I pay $800 for a garage apt in Beaumont (includes, water, electricity and cable). Got my own entrance and parking spots, plus my landlord stays away quite a bit. I had to find a place quick after my other place got flooded out during the storm. Not a bad arrangement though. If I was still in BR, I think I would have to do something similar. Real estate is crazy expensive right now..

I’m $1200 for a 1/1 in Dallas (not Uptown or Greenville). My complex is very nice though.

I was about $900 for a nice 1/1 in Memphis on Mud Island a few years ago.

The 2/2s on Mud Island were a steal though...it was around $1200, so $600/month with a roommate.

Lower Greenville is booming. There, Deep Ellum and uptown are the places now. The house I live in is old as shite, but it has a cool floor plan and I'm 60 yards from Trader Joes

Was looking around and 1 bedroom apts/condos around BR are going for roughly $1000-1200 in rent per month.


My first place in BR was $1095/mo. and the second place I lived was $985/mo. so you seem to be in a good range. It is surprising that BR is so expensive.

350 a month plus bills. I moved back in with my parents after 10 years out of the house. It was rough adjusting but it's actually pretty awesome now. I'm finishing up school so not having to stress about caring for a house is great. I'm there maybe 3 nights a week.

That's rediculous. I can get a 1 bedroom in uptown Dallas for almost the same price. But anyway, you need to decide if you want to drop that much on rent. If I were you, I would move back in with my parents for a couple of months and save. You said your goal is to buy a house, if you can save an extra $1200/month you can do that way faster. Now whether you should buy a house is a different discussion. If you aren't going to be in it 5 years don't buy because you'll probably break even at best unless you make significant improvements or get lucky.

1/1 in BR in a decent area is around $1000-1200. I was paying $1100 for a new place with granite and wood floors on the 1st floor of the complex with a parking spot, but SF-wise it was small

Thats cheap.


It's the second best deal in town

The best deal belonged to my friends who moved out here before me. They were paying $750 for a detached 1/.5 house near the high school.



They recently moved to Johnson City, TN

What the frick, Millennial scum? You’re telling me you can’t afford a $1200 apartment plus car note, insurance, phone bill, utilities, gas, food, etc on 2k a month? Must be all you damn entitled millennials.

As a boomer, I know I benefited from having the best economies in modern history but dammit we had it so much harder than you entitled millennials. I graduated college with a history degree and immediately found a great job with benefits. You millennials have no idea how difficult that is.
