$1,700 actually doesn’t sound too bad relatively speaking. Especially since it sounds like you actually enjoy living there (many don’t).

When I moved out from there close to 5 years ago, I was paying just under $1,800 for one of their larger studio layouts.

You could probably find something in a newer building nearby for not much more, but other apartments in that price range might not have as many amenities as the Beacon. And none of them will have the landscaped grounds and “gated community” vibe of the Beacon if you care about that.

Thanks for this. It literally feels like I am just now settling in and getting used to everything because I’ve only been here a year, and it’s a pain in the ass to do apartment hunting, so I am 70% leaning into just biting the bullet and pay the increase tbh I’m planning to call tomorrow to set up an appointment for negotiating lower if possible though since the receptionist said the manager was open to it

I think it’s a decent deal too. Moving isn’t cheap and the fees these buildings tack on, combined with mostly subpar construction, I don’t know how much better off you really would be.
