rent..

[kitty]

I was just talking to jj..and i was shocked to hear what rents were like around where she lived...

What does an average 2 bedroom go for where you live?

In boston it's around $1500

[the squid of despair]

2 bedroom what? Condo? Townhouse? Apartment?

Nicest part of town? Ghetto?

What do you want here?

[kitty]

oh sorry for not being specific.....:S umm i was referring to a 2 bedroom apartment in a decent part of town..

I want you here;) now

[Aeon]

I live in a 3 bedroom single house..it's average size..on a average street..


and I pay $1200.00 per/month..not including my heat or hydro or electricity...
I'm lucky to pay that. Most places like mine go for about $1500.00.

Uhmm a place like that here should go for around 450 to 500 a month, no utilities, but keep in mind the wages are way lower too.

[hoos]

In Richmond, a 2 bedroom in a decent place is about 800-900 bucks a month. But you can get some things for that expensive kitty, they are just realllllly nice. For that price, you might as well buy a house around Richmond. Probably cheaper.

[kitty]

see in boston..you just get an average apartment for that price..nothing really nice..it's all location..location..location..

2 bedroom houses go for about 365 a month here, country area, low crime decent schools.

I forgot, we have to specify that we live in the South a.k.a. the poor part of the country. Everything is cheap here. Even a dollar only cost $0.75

[Exploding Sockpuppet]

My rent for a 2bd/2ba is $665/mo (no utilities). I have a private backyard, fireplace, attic, wetbar, security alarm, and central heat and air. If I wanted to save money, I could get a 2bd place here in the $400's.

That's in Jacksonvile, FL.

[odd th0mas]

i'd puke if i had to pay anything near $1000

i live in 20 year old 2-1/2 bdrm(2bdrm + study), with a finished basement, 2car garage and large fenced in yard in the burbs and pay $550. guess mid-west is the best! :)

[The Inebriated Genius]

we are currently paying 625 for a 1 bedroom. The building is old but the neighbourhood is decent.

a 2 bedroom in a Newer building from the same part of town is a little over 800.

£1600 a month would get you the finest duplex penthouse apartment in mancester:O

I was paying £1400 pm a while back living in the same blocks as a few of the man united players

[vixen]

Same here:

I spend £1,500 on a two double bedroom ground floor flat per month, without bills.

Its a fucking rip off around here, but at least my next door neighbour owns a 360 Modena (http://users.wfu.edu/rudni5/images/Ferrari360Modena/Ferrari%20360%20Modena.jpg)

:cool2:

[hoos]

Damn Vix, move down here. You could have a nice house for that much. Great schools and a nice neighborhood with a good sized house...

Oh and a kid from my high school got drafted by the REvolution this year too. Root hard for him (Adam Christman).

I live 30 miles east of Portland, Oregon...in the "suburbs" I suppose. We rent an older 3 bedroom house with maybe a little over 1000SF of living space, only one bathroom, a pseudo-attached single car garage, but a huge fenced backyard. No basement, no utilities paid, but a nice culdesac with only one house of the other four occupied. $825/month. My utilities alone total more than that in the winter.

The 2 bedroom house next to mine sold for $175,000 just a few months ago, while the one across the culdesac sold for just over $100,000 a little over a year ago.

Three years ago we moved from a two-story house almost twice this size in square footage 30 miles west of Portland, where we had four bedrooms, a sunroom, a detached two car garage, and unfenced acreage with water and garbage included for $1100/month. Suffice to say it was on a busy highway and I had a "Houdini child" escape twice after my dog got hit 100 ft. from our home. Landlord was a bit anal anyways.

[kizkiz]

uganja and alf - you're both idiots :D
I converted to dollars.
Rent is £825 a month, but split between me and my flatmate.

Ridge - am looking at a mortgage now, but think i'll have to do a key worker assisted thing, unless i happen to find 30k in the next few months :(

[JaiJai]

Yay for Midwestern rent prices lol
Rent here for a 2 bdrm apartment ranges from 300 to 600 a month, sometimes with heat/gas , water, sewer included.
You Can pay more depending on the type of place and location I suppose.

You can buy homes here for anywhere from 18G to 60G and of course on up but a $30,000.00 home is a nice home here, quiet neighborhoods, nice big yards, garages.. good schools etc..

Im shocked at the rent/mortgages you pay in Canada and the UK :O

[tca]

the house we live in now, 2 acres of land and a pool, 2 bedroom and a nanny flat

dad brought outright for 80k

edit - we have to pay for water n sewerage n all that jazz though

in our old house, we paid something like 600 rent a month with power, water n all that jazz

not a real flash part of town though admittedly
