What's Average Rent For Your Area?

It really depends, my area has a high income disparity. My one bedroom house is $465/mo.

I like this link too:

Most places around here are £800 +

 

i dont live in the US, but if i tried to convert it to dollars, its around 400 a month for a 2 dorms apartment in an ok neighborhood

 

So looking at about 400 a week for a 2 bed unit where i'm at.

 

is rent normally paid weekly in australia?

 

Yes it is

 

Yup we pay our on a fortnightly basis.

 

Converted to USD, $315/month. One bedroom apt/house, concrete, ie mozzy-proof, in rent is included water, electricity, hot shower (sounds basic, but it's not, around here), wifi, everything basically, and we have an incredible ocean sunset view from our large balcony.. I share that with my gf, so I pay half of $315/mo.. it's pretty much the best housing deal I've ever had.

 

Wow, that's incredible. Really incredible. In New Jersey you're paying at least $900 for a two bedroom apartment... and not by the shore either. Any less than that and generally you end up with shit or in a bad area. In Camden you can get real cheap - but then again you risk getting shot every day/night.
