Well, when I used to live in an apartment about 3 years ago it cost me $445 per month. That included electricity (electric baseboard heaters were used), cable TV and it was for a one bedroom unit that was split to a 2 bedroom. Wasn't a beautiful place but kept me warm.

EDIT: Oh yeah. When I first got married (almost 5 years ago) we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms. I only had to pay for cable and phone. It cost me $610 a month. Also, laundry facilites were provided.

in college:
new apartment complex 600 a month 2 bedroom (had washer dryer in apt as well as dishwasher)
electric was 40 ish,
cable was 50ish
internet was 60ish
it seems that rent went up 10 or 20 bucks every year....... I counted all the apartments in the complex and figured that they brought in almost 100 grand a month in rent.
They built another complex last summer

I'm going to ditch the whole apartment thing and get a travel trailer to live in. Cheap rent, you can just move if you want a different view, you have your hotel room behind you if you go on a trip, the neighbors are at least a little further away, and you get to hang out with the traveling folks who IMHO are some of the friendliest and most interesting folks to talk to.

Ahmen brother! I'm saving money HARD and should be able to pick up a desent one for cash in a few years, and maybe an acre or two of land to call homebase (and store my toys and shop, lol) The only thing I'll miss of civilized home life is my HighSpeed internet access. . .and satellite is coming down in price and might make an ineresting alternative to ***

hell yeah, I refused to rent. Found an old mobile on 3.6" acres, my payments are $364 a month. Property tax is $600/year. Even if you dont plan on living in a place forever, youll get some money back if you sell it, unlike rent where the money just goes into the owners pocket. Call it an investment.
