Reply to Opinions on potential rent: is 4500 before utilities too much for new construction, 3b 1.5ba, 1 car garage, quiet st in great neighborhood (central Lawrenceville) too much? What is your estimate on utilities (heat and electricity) for such a size? New to town here, would love your input. by prenzlauerallee3
I moved to Lawrenceville in 2015 and paid $1425 for 3 stories, full basement, and off-street parking, which is a must there.
Seriously, do not pay TRIPLE that.
Also, my mortgage payment in Beechview is $1085. Just buy a house on public transportation in a non-gentrified neighborhood.

I had $500 bills last year with my antique single-stage furnace. I got a new one in the spring, still hitting $250. Same old brick house.
It really saves you no money to make that think crank for 2 hours every morning to get back UP to 67. ESPECIALLY if you have a single-stage box. You're better off maintaining.
I also put plastic on the window this year, and bought draft-blockers for the doors, and did some other stuff recommended in this thread.
Gas prices are insane, so you're not going to have a "low" bill, but do everything you can to minimize heat loss.

Iiiiiinteresting. I had to google them, no idea all those places are related. Makes sense. Though I did do decently once at Local while waiting for a show at Club Cafe.
