What's the average cost of rent where you live?

In my area, it's $900-$1000 per month for a one bedroom, and $1100-$1400 per month for a solid 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. For a [i]good[/i] apartment, I should say. Hard to find a good one here below $900.

What bijoux said. Rent around here ranges from $3000 to almost $5000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment. The San Francisco Bay Area is the most expensive place to live in the country.

@SW-User Sounds like you would have to make some really good money to be able to afford to live there.

@SW-User no wonder camper van conversions are becoming so popular. Imagine getting a decent job there and then spending everything you make just for a roof over your head? Better to live in a van if you can build a tiny shower & put a toilet in the van, have a Murphy bed to flip down & sleep on.

@SW-User but you get to step over feces on the sidewalk. So worth it
