Not high enough unfortunately. Rent is approaching $2000 for a double and younger folks have to pack in 4 to 6 to a unit to afford to live here.

You aren't in touch with reality if you think small single bedrooms are even remotely close to $2000 a month. You can find them all day under $1000

I'm just going on what I hear rent is in my neighborhood for doubles. Similarly, I see doubles on either side of me filled to the brim with young unrelated adults.
That being said, I wasn't talking about single bedrooms I'm talking about the up-and-down doubles that saturate Lakewood. They are usually two bedroom units.

There are still a ton of duplexs under $2000. All you have to do is go on zillow or somewhere and filter by under $2000 and there are a TON at all different price points.

Alright I'll grant that I don't look at Zillow. Like I said, I'm just going on what I hear in my neighborhood.

There are plenty of 1/2-bed apartments for under $1000 in Lakewood. Granted they aren’t the most updated and some of the property managers aren’t the best, but they exist. I rent a 2-bed apartment for $775 in Lakewood.

Not true at all. None of my friends can find spots like that. Everything is 1300+ and GRAY.

It is true, you just have to know where to find them. You won’t find much on websites like apartments.com or even Zillow for places in Lakewood. You have to look on property management websites and reach out directly about upcoming vacancies. Lakewood is a hotspot so landing a rental for a reasonable price is a bit competitive. It could also be that some of your friends are looking for a certain standard that is not in line with their budget.
edit: Also you’re right, places love the grey lol. All my walls are grey. I’m just happy they aren’t white tho

All I really need is a one bedroom. No roommates or pets.

I'm not sure what the info is on single bedrroms but I do see a bunch of younger folks having to room together to afford basic two-rooms. That's all I was trying to offer.
I hope you find the info you're after.
