MemberMy Fiance and I don’t live together and come September, Fiance will be moving into an apartment (we are looking) and I know prices vary A LOT in different locations, but I’m just wondering how much do you pay for rent? Are utilities included? How big is your apartment (bedrooms, bathrooms)? And maybe where you live!
MemberI live in NYC so this is going to be WAY high.
We have a 1br/1ba in an elevator building (no doorman). It’s about 800 sq foot. No outdoor space. But we have a dishwasher (no washer/dryer).
Gas, electric, heat, and water are included.
Our rent is going up next month to $3k/mo
Maybe you should add a poll.
Memberwhen I rented in pgh no utilites except water, sewer. two bedroom townhouse for roughly 950 a month
MemberWe pay $603.50 (it’s weird, because we have a 15% discount since he’s in school).
We have a 2 bed, 2 bath, 1100 sq foot apartment. Utilities are not included. It’s not the nicest place (probably 40+ years old), but we don’t fear anything breaking or falling, or any health risks.
We live in Kansas City, MO. Rent usually runs anywhere from $500-$1100 a month, and it mostly depends on location and how new the building is.
MemberWe pay $500 in central Indiana. Utilities are not included – but they are not much for our little place. We have a 2 bedroom/1 bath home with a fenced in backyard and heated 2 car garage (great in the winter!). We found our home on craigslist – it is a great place to check out if looking for an apartment/home to rent.
Good luck in your search!
MemberLive in NYC too…Gramercy area…we have a one bedroom..probably around 500-550 sq feet or so – elevator – no doorman – Our rent is $1960 which I consider a great deal! Includes Water and Heat, not Electric.
MemberI have a 1 bed 1.5 bath in NYC with a dishwasher, washer/dryer in the building approx 700 sq. feet, no doorman and I pay $2,050/month. I’ve been in the unit 6 years though so our rent has barely gone up in that time, I’m probably about $4-500 under market.

MemberI live outside DC (Arlington, VA) and have a 2bd/1ba apartment that includes utilities. No washer/dryer. 800 sq ft. No balcony or outside space. No central air/heat. We do have a dishwasher.
We pay about $1595/month
Member@KatNYC2011: I would probably pay a little more for a bigger space…Our bedroom is a great size for nyc but our kitchen is almost barely there!!! But the thought of moving and looking for an apartment makes me ill..lol
MemberWe live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo/townhome type building (there are three people attached in each unit side by side). It’s about 1100 square feet in Columbia, SC and we pay $730 a month, no utilities included although the front landscaping is. We were in a 1 bedroom 1 bath 798 square foot townhome for $615 a month before but the area quickly turned shady so we decided we’d pay a bit more for a nicer location.
ETA: We also have a nice little fenced in backyard/patio area which was another reason to pay more as well as a lot of attic space.
MemberOh my goodness! I couldn’t imagine living in NYC, I mean I know the cost of living is a lot higher than here in the midwest, and your salaries I’m sure also reflect that as well.
Thanks for sharing! I just thought this post would be interesting!
MemberIn Missouri, we have a 3 bed, 2 bath 1,200 sq ft townhome and pay $750, which does not include utilities.

MemberWe pay $1150 a month for our 3 BR/2 BA condo, but we also have a house that we cannot rent or sell right now so that adds another $700 a month for THAT mortgage. 🙁 So, altogether every month, we pay about $1800 between the two places. That does not include utilities or anything.
