Roommates are the only real answer unless you can afford like 1600-2000 in rent.

You can find a 3-4 bedroom for like 2000. It wont be fantastic but you can get rent for around 600 with 3-4 roommates. in most of the city.

However I just left my last place because I rented a room to an insane person so... just stay safe.

We finally kicked ours out after he punched a hole in the wall, broke a mirror and tracked blood through the entire building.

But yeah. Just a nightmare all around. I've never had an issue with roommates in the past 10 years of college and my 3 apparents but this one dude has pushed me in to a state of mind where I'm going to pay more to live alone for the rest of my life.

I sent him some links to air bnb monthly rentals in the area that come out to like 1k but he didn't take that up and said it was to hard to find another place.

So in the end I just ended up moving out, waving my security deposit and letting him know he could take the whole lease. After he trashed the place I let the landlord know and now he's also leaving but, I don't even feel safe staying at this point. Guy holds grudges and I don't want any part of him .

Where do people find roommates? Is there a popular listing site, and are any more reliable/ less sketchy than others?

And how are things generally priced out? It's hard to compare prices with so few listings.

By the time your done it's never that low.
