I remember back in 2014 I had a 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment here in NC. In a decent area 10 minutes from my cities downtown area for $575 a month. That same apartment is now $1000 in 2025.

The kicker is the price goes up but the apartment is unchanged to keep up with the surrounding “luxury” apartments. So same old appliances. Same dishwasher. Same counter tops. Same cabinets. Same carpet. Same paint. Nothing justifies the price going up.

The company managing these complex’s making money hand over fist.

Breh my lil cousin is looking for a spot right now in the same city I used to live in.

I was in a 2 bedroom/2 and a half bath townhome and me and my roommate were paying $1250 a month. That same townhome right now is $1700. And a 1 bedroom in the same complex is $1010. Years back when I lived there a 1 bed was like 750-850.

These aren't even luxury apartments either. And that's just in a span of 8 years

Wtf When I say I've looked everywhere I mean everywhere. Where are people supposed to go fr?

If you want to live anywhere with any kind of civilization/economic opportunity you are spending at least $1100 a month for a studio or 1 bed/1 bath. shyt is ridiculous brehs. And oldheads wonder why so many young adults are still in their parents' crib. If I didn't have money saved from years of working and my GI Bill, I'd be fukked out here frfr.

How are folks affording this shyt? How are people in their late teens/early 20s supposed to start their lives?

Are they supposed to be cool with living in bumfukk Alabama or Montana? And I'm not even sure where we go from here considering the shytty zoning laws in this country, stuck up rich folks who don't want new developments, and greedy landlords.

And college towns are scamming these young people even worse cause they HAVE to find somewhere close to live. shyt is disgraceful and a genuine failure on this nation.

This 1100 figure is nonsensical.

In all of “middle American” that’s not adjacent to big salary cities apartment can be had for $800-$900

In the 10 metro areas that everyone aspires to live in it’s $1500-$3000 for a 1 bedroom apt.

You’re making this post about wherever you want to rent at.

nikkas talkin about $1100 is a steal for me yeah dumbasses thats the PROBLEM Realistically no one bedroom apartment except in select areas should cost $1100

 

[DJSmooth]

1100 sounds like roaches and hearing your neighbors clap cheeks every night because the walls are so thin.

We been telling y'all for years don't listen to them rent folks in those rent vs own threads. It's only gonna get worse. By 2035 you're gonna be making threads about 1500+ rent while ownership gang still paying 2020 or earlier prices. Maybe even paid off the house if they took out a 15 year and only on the hook for like 600 a month

 

[beenz]

Crazy that 1100 not even 5 yrs ago was a nice 1 bed and 5 years before that it would have a been a 3 bed luxury apt for 1100

my first apartment in a pretty nice neighborhood when I was 22 was like $590. early 2000's tho. they were only upping the rent $10 each year, so that was nothing.

low inventory and little to now construction relative to demand justifies it.

Only thing that can solve it is stringent regulation on corporate landlords and 5 million additional housing units in the country and the federal government would have to play a major part, it won’t. We got a couple decades at least of it getting worse and worse

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Get your money up

Oh now you want rent control? Now you want a Maoist purge of landlords?

 

[Savvir]

all in, I'm paying $1470 for my house that has 5BR's and 3 full BA's.

even though I live in a whole house solo, there's no reason for me to ever move given my payment is so reasonable with me being at a 3% on the mortgage.

What city you in?

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

nikka, $1100 in DC you either in a trap house or Wayne Perry stashed bodies in that hoe in the 80s

I work in the real estate field. Try to buy property as soon as you can afford it because rents are not coming down much without some type of serious economic decline.

Some of my clients are trying their best to get as much money from rentals as they can. Landlords mostly care about the numbers, if property taxes, utilities, and insurance are increasing…so is the rent. I know a select few that keep their shyt affordable but they’re the exception.

If your state doesn’t offer some type of down payment assistance, then buy a fixer upper and build sweat equity.

If you can’t buy, get some cool ass roommates and stack up.

I pay 737 a month for a townhouse I’m buying. @ renting
