APARTMENT QUESTION PLEASE HELP!!!

going to look at an apartment again tonite with FH and parents..maybe cutting a deal.. please tell me what u girls pay per month.. whats included.. where ur apartment is and some info about the apartment liuke bedrooms, eat in kitchens dining rooms etc. PLEASE i wanna see if i am getting a good deal or not! thank soooo much! xoxo wish us luck!!!

well i think a main factor in rent is where you are looking...

I am in Forest Hills and pay $1350 for what they said was a 1.5 bedroom (its a 1 bedroom with a small office), separate dining room, kitchen, bathroom, living room.
it has 3 closets plus the double closet in the bedroom
In total it is about 1000 sq feet

Included in the rent is heat, hot water and gas
we have a garbage room so we dont have to worry about taking out the garbage on certain days and we have a laundry room on the lobby level (that you have to pay for)

One thing I thought important to ask when looking at apartments is if there is a carpet requirement. some buildings say that you must have 85% of your apt covered in carpet and it is in your lease. if there is a requirement and you want carpet thats no problem but if you dont want carpet then it gets tricky...ask if you can use area rugs and stuff.


good luck!

This made me feel better. I thought I was paying a lot until I remembered the rent situation in NYC. ;) I live in Los Angeles. We pay $2000 for a 2 bed/2 bath apt. It's about 1200 square feet. Water and 2 tandem parking spaces included. We also have laundry ($) on our floor.

We lived in Rego Park before we moved to LA. 67th Ave and Austin St. Your description sounds very similar. It was the Versailles. :)
