Im looking for an apartment to rent right now and these prices are damn near impossible..Im in atlanta and my last spot in midtown 4 years ago with granite countertops etc was 1150, now the same unit is 1450:picard:this is before all the bs monthly fees like trash, parking, etc.

A couple leasing agents were saying Covid fukked the game up bc renters weren't paying, so the complexes had to raise the prices. Some were saying the managers are literally throwing prices out there and seeing what sticks, sad part is people from out of town will pay:gucci:some truly evil villain shyt.

Im from the state people who are actually from here are getting priced out, meanwhile people from Cali, Philly, Chicago, or w/e they're from are raising the cost of living and making the traffic worse:what:

Im not mad at people looking for more opportunity but this isnt sustainable. The cost of living is rising above inflation and wages are staying the same. Pretty soon we'll all have to live in Mississippi or Alabama to have affordable housing

I know your pain.

Good news is the new job will pay a bunch more

I know white center had some low-rises with a tower around the $900-1200 (1bed-3), but that was around the time I left in 2016. If your income qualifies you can try to get into the yesler terrace area. I know it’s the bricks but the area is nice as hell compared to public housing in other places. It’s also right across the freeway from the financial district.

Depending on your commute the areas around JBLM were also relatively cheap. I lived in a 2-bedroom apartment within walking distance of the beach for $850

But then I gotta try to turnaround and find something nice that’s not too overpriced :mjcry:it’s a sellers market
Chicago suburbs seem cheap, Olympia Fields seems like it’s in your range. One of the best black neighborhoods in the nation.

I’m in the DMV and don’t plan on leaving. The thing is I’ll find something nice and in the neighborhood I want. It’s just this neverending battle of tryna time the market. Ima be sick if it crashes but it may not for a while. Especially in this area which is one of the most foolproof in the country.

I mean look at how hyped up ATL has been the last 15 years or so. Maybe I'm wrong, but nobody really knew about ATL before Social media, now everybody moving there.

That's the price you pay to live the glamour life. ATL ain't lowkey no more, ya'll finally catching up to other big metros.:manny:
