Well you live near the most affluent neighborhood in Newton. Also I don't know how many bedrooms, bathrooms, or amenities. This was where you chose to live. I can promise you that there are apartments all over Newton. 1bd start 2k

I live in a 2 bedroom. I am not complaining about the price. For the price we pay, I think we get decent return. But it is good to know about these especially if someone is coming from out of state, especially from Arkansas. There are also other rentals around me, like townhomes, going from 5-6k or single family homes, going from 8-10k.

Right but there are options for 2bd for 3k not 5k. It's all a matter of what you want and where you are looking. That is my point. Someone from Arkansas sees 5k for a rental and they automatically would be frightened. Even at 3k they would be. There's no prices like that down there. You're perfectly fine with it as you just came from downtown and you're getting more space for probably the same as you were paying in the city, or at least close to it.
