I really need to get out of my house, but the cost of living here and going to collage is awesome... free. I'm planning on moving out sometime next year with a roommate, I'm sure all of ya'll have or am going through stress with the damn parents. I got yelled at today from both my mother and step-dad about not picking up roast chicken from the market... I wrote down what she wanted me to get and nowhere did it say chicken, dumbfuck, hah.

Anyways, how much do ya'll pay for rent for like, a 2 room apartment and where?

i pay 525 a month for everything and the place was furnished.

I pay 200, but I live on my best friend's parents property.
Most apts around here are crazy expensive, like nothing under 850.
Im lucky!

$600+ utilities, how old are you? If you are under the age of 23 and your parents are willing to let you live at home rent free, TAKE IT! It really sucks struggling through school and having to worry about paying bills too. If you have to move out though, take a good look at who your neighbors are going to be, you have to live with these people too.

$275 +utilities a month with 4 other guys besides myself. 5 bedroom house, 2 baths, two story, good location and only a 5 minute walk to class. Sure we live in a slum but I can live with that. Be careful who you pick for roommates though....if you took one look at my house you would know what im talking about! I too know what you're saying when it comes to living with parents. I've been doing it for 22 years and it just gets to a point where everybody's lives just start to clash and you just need to get out so dont sweat it, they mean well.

285 Plus utilities. Awesome newer three bedroom house. Living with two other guys. Got a garage full of tools. 10 minute walk to class.

But my loans pay my rent.

Make sure you can live with the person you would/will be rooming with. I kinda made that mistake. My friends and I moved down here and we got into a little fight and they are both doing their thing with each other and I do my own thing. Sucks, but oh well. It's only a year.

I agree, don't ever move in with friends, it's too easy to take your friendship for granted and make them hate you.

Also lay out who will pay for what, who will clean what, how you will handle emergencies and arguments from day 1. After the first day, it becomes progressively harder to talk about these things.

I've lived with roommates from 15 till now (27) and I've always liked it better than living on my own for a few months between roommates. As far as rent, usually $400-600 plus $50-100/mo utilities. California's expensive though.

The situation I like best is to have everything in my name, and pay for everyone's utilities, so it's a flat rate every month for my roommates. This avoids arguments and places a little more stress on me, but it's consistent. A side effect (positive/negative?) is my roommates tend to keep to themselves a little more when I do this.

Hey Dan, what cities would the rent be around $400-$600 here in SoCal? Just curious. I know LB is around that area, but the neighborhood is kinda, uh...scary.

That's $400-600 PER person. Seems to be the do-able amount for socal people. Rent for a 2-3bdr is usually $1300-1500ish.

wtf are you guys paying?! The cheapest you can get a 2 bedroom apt out here is $1200 a month! I guess its all in the neighborhood though.

$260 a month +Gas/Electric and Cable. This is a 2 bedroom apartment with a tiny ass kitchen, 1 large bedroom (mine) and 1 small bedroom. I got the large because I moved everything over here from the old house (I called dibbs). Decent place... was furnished, but I told my landlord I have my own stuff.

I've lived with the same guy for 3 years now... We get along because he's a moron, and our exposure to each other is limited, I sometimes don't see him for days, usually for a few minutes before he goes to bed. Hell, at least because of him I can get tires mounted and balanced for free! He doesn't do dishes either.

Bills are in my name and he owes me $100 right now.

LAST YEAR: Lived with 3 other guys (current roommate included), the other 2 were assholes, never did dishes, yet always complained about the mess in the kitchen. (I wash my own shit). That was $200/month +utilities, cable and trash. The place was a complete 100 year old house SHIT HOLE!!!

You guys are lucky. I live at home cause it's at least 1200+ for a 2 bedroom apt. If I wanted anything in the city I live in now (close to work and no rush hour traffic, DC is the suck) it would be over 1500+ for a 2 bedroom. I pay rent at home and I'm saving up to hopefuly get a condo or townhouse, if I ever find a friend to live w/ that I trust.

EDIT: BTW, Chris/silverNT, do you live near Chicago? Surprised you're the only other person who lives in an area w/ a high cost of living so I figure you're near a major city. Being near DC sucks sometimes.

i pay $600 a month which includes everything, even heated unnderground parking. I am living with one roommate and we each have our own bedroom and bathroom and my bathroom even has a jacuzzi in it. I live in the milwaukee suburbs where rent is for the most part at a reasonable price.

I am (hopefully) about to move into a 3 bedroom apartment in Hollywood, CA. It costs $2,400 a month plus utilities. I'm going to need to get a second job.

The best part is that it normally costs $2,900 a month, but the guy posted the wrong price on the internet and we are getting quite a discount.

Dude I pay like $675 a month for my town house. the bitch is like 20-30 years old so utilities get up there sometimes. I live with the woman so my "roommate" helps with the utilities and I pay the rent. I need to buy my own damn place but the market out here is crazy too. All the avail housing is jacked on the bubble right now...

I edited to the wiki!

bought a house almost a year ago, i pay about 825 for my mortgage plus utilities. i manage to keep the heat at 55 but i use a buttload of electricity for my computers. all in all, i spend probly 1000-1100 a month on living by myself. 3br, 2bath, 2.5 car garage double deep. 10-15 minutes from downtown indy.
