I paid 260 a month for a 1200sq ft house with a detached garage.
esquimal
The total price doesn't really say much without the average income. Expensive rents with high salaries are alright.

Also Vancouver

Still better than some UK military accommodation!

Toronto Housing?

I live in the Midwest in a 2 bedroom apartment with laundry for 450. But...you know. It's the Midwest.
IMainReinhardt
I had a three bedroom trailer in florida for less than 400 and now own a 4 bedroom 2 bathroon house with 2 car garage for 825.
biglongandgirthyusername
In brazil the same is about 2k per month
SamArt53
I'd take that over a free 'rack' on a 1957 aircraft carrier. No room to put knees up, having to roll all the way over to open your lockers.
Air conditioning opening which only blew cold air in SF in the winter - didn't work in the South China Seas where the air was shot and muggy
MsRainbowFancy
I used to live in a 4bedroom 3 level house downtown suburbs in wisconsin for around $400 a month and that's including utilities
thevortexmaster
A house as big as that stair closet in Vancouver BC is a million to own
iupvotebadcomments
This is almost everywhere now imo.
turtleturner
Im in Aus, and my bargain basement apartment with no services but water and electricity was $1040 a month
LetumComplexo
About what it is in Washington DC and Fairfax County, VA too. Im going to have to move south if I want to move out.
LongJohnSilverfish
I live right on the ocean in a decent house. $3,900/month
IAmNotACatISwear
Jesus christ. O.o I guess you pay for what you get? I live 10 mins from the Pacific and pay 1700 in mortgage. Note: it's a condo.
Damn, I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house with a finished basement

Gold666Skull
My first room in Portland was literally a closet under the stairs. $150/mo + $50 for bills.
kittenpanda33
Mmmm, more like $2k.

Lol 1000$ in key west, fl...terrible place to rent when you're a broke ass like me

Me and my husband pay 540 € per month for 56 2m appartment in Finnish Lapland. Stay out of here.

Apartments in Seattle for a one bedroom is $1400 a month.

I thought that was s good deal
JarJarDrinks
In San Francisco that would be $800 per week.
Never attempting to move to SF then, thanks for the heads-up and good luck.
Teddythewonderllama
Ha. Try Vancouver. Most expensive city in North America to live in.

In London that would be £800 per day.

And here i am in kansas paying $715/mo for a three bedroom house in a nice neighborhood.

The only problem with that is, you're in Kansas. Sincerely, another Kansan.
Not so bad when i just mever go outside

I may be moving to the bay area... and i'm terrified of rent prices
ilovefurbabies
I'm fortunate enough to have flexible hours where I avoid traffic. Rent in the city is stupid and it smells like urine.
Kassien
How far out are you living? Because even Modesto is getting expensive from what I hear.
You know your from the bay, when you refer SF as 'the city' and not as San Francisco or San Fran.
The great secret with SF residents (at least when I lived there) was no one had a hobby or traveled. Rent consumes every dime you make.
Don't. I used to love Cali, but it has become overpopulated and way to expensive. Unless you're making six figures at a job.
actualseal
Six figures is just enough to live forget saving
I've got family in Cali, and we make the same amount. I can afford a 1600sqft home and two decent cars. He lives in a trailer...
randomsonglyric
Did you move? If so where to? Asking as a fed up bay area-an trying to escape
Got out to Utah. School is cheaper and the economy tends to be stable.
I was looking at the dublin/Pleasanton area for housing since in the city wouldn't be feasible... but I would be making good money
Dublin is one of the most expensive areas, with Blackhawk the prices are easily in the multimillion dollar homes. Hopefully it's a 6 figure
Company told me that's where they want me to move. And I have to be close to freeway since I will travel 90% of the time
401klurker
Honestly if you don't mind commuting, go out about an hour ways, learn the traffic and with 6 figures and a cheap home you can retire early.
An hour with or without traffic?
Without. Depending on when you start coming from north at 6 it isn't that bad.i also tend to leave early from my old job.
Yeah I would be traveling a lot... my company said if I take it I would probably want Pleasanton or hayward... but I was even thinking tracy

Sydney is the most expensive city to live in last I checked. $800/m is really cheap.

You could rent a huge apartment in a nice area in mexico city with that.
DaShaka9
Yeah I was about to say, $800? That's cute. That'll buy you a park bench for the night in San Francisco.

It'll buy you a cardboard box next to a bench in Tokio.

Like one of those nice nuns, or one of those really mean nuns with the "best behaviour" rulers?
Depends. Bills included?
No. But... you're only half a mile away from a Circle Line stop
Pass me my Doc Martins. Anything to get out of zone 6
Alright, one more caveat in this thought experiment. You can't use Doc Martens, only these - http://imgur.com/jx0dopw

you wanna know whats funny? thats probably what the company pays a month for the place you rent from.

BermondseyRising
I'm renting out two rooms in my flat- £600 and £500. Maybe I should up it? But I want to be fair to my lodgers.
ROBooth
Yeah definitely don't up it. I think that's a fair price
Cojesa
It depends on area, size and quality of accommodation etc. If you have good lodgers I would let sleeping dogs lie.
Zone 1 big rooms lots of light newly renovated
No lodgers yet, looking for some good ones
Nahmy
I pay about that much for 100 square metres (3 bedroom) in Berlin!
That is why the cool people gravitate to Berlin now. Its a big capital city and its cheap. Won't stay that way... the yuppies will follow.
Cere4l
as someone who lives in a village. thats cheap? o_o im never moving to a city.
Oh that happened a long time ago. Its full of vacuous hipsters now.
Sure, first artists, then hipsters... and then the rich people will come and the houseprices will skyrocket. Gentrification in action.
Fine by me! I much prefer rich people to artists and hipsters.
