That's about what I'm paying for a 1 bed in canton at "The Porter" mind you I have just about the worst apartment in the building what with O'donnell street and a bus stop outside my window. I assume that's about right though, rent is brutal. Mind I pay 100$ for parking so a bit better there and they gave me the first year of parking free. You might be able to find something a bit cheaper but you probably have to be willing to move each year. My apartment will be available in march if you don't mind the bus stop they might not be asking much more than 1700$ to get someone in it for the first year. (trash is 30$ a month no you can't opt out of it)

Ugh tell me about it… thanks so much for letting me know though- if I end up staying, it’ll be nice to know other people in the area are paying about the same. Thanks so much but I won’t be out until May, but I’ll keep that building in mind.

I managed to buy a house in the area, partly because I figured my new lease was going to be more than a mortgage after all the inflation. It was something I had been working towards for years though. It’s got a spare bedroom with a bathroom attached, makes me wonder if I should rent it out. I feel ethically dubious about being a landlord even if it’s like roommates.

Congratulations on the house! I’m hoping to be able to buy next year, but it’s so hard to save with these crazy prices. Don’t feel badly about it- there are great landlords out there, and you could be one of them! Thanks again for your help
