Lol, I haven't seen apartments going for $600 a month in years. To be fair, I am around Portland, so maybe in more rural areas that's available. But I also visit Lewiston frequently, and with Portland rents going nuts, Lewiston's have also shot up as people spill over to there.

I also have a house now though. So mostly it's apartment hunting for friends when they need it these days. Still, I haven't seen $600 a month rents in forever.

Efficiency apartments in my area are not "apartments" its a bedroom with a shared kitchen/living area.

Isn't that a flophouse or boarding house? Efficiency apartments are a specific real estate term, was my understanding.
