Where are you looking? $2400 for a 2-bed is not the average here. You are about $500 too high in your estimate maybe a bit less but I still regularly see 2-beds for less than $2000.

Could be your problem. I don't really look as I'm not in need but I share what I see. To humor this request I just hit up Craigslist housing and checked my local area. I'm in Attleboro. I was quite correct. I see options in Bristol County and along the South Coast as well as in Rhode Island, plenty of Pawtucket and Providence. I knew a friend who was a property owner out in Warre, which tends to run even cheaper. Where have you looked?

You can get a house with 4 bed rooms 2 bath for like 700 in ware. This is true.

I learned something young, don't go near the water of the cove.

I wanted to believe you but just looked through Zillow and only saw a handful of $1900 2 beds in Medford, Everett, and Quincy. There’s more options once you go above $2k but the world of paying $2k on avg for a 2 bed is long gone.

Edit to say I’m speaking for the Greater Boston area

I'm surprised you found any under $2,000. Those locales are all well within the 128 Loop. Prices are going to be a lot higher.
