If you find anything in East rock that is affordable on a $75k salary please let me know because I certainly haven’t seen it in the last year. As others have mentioned, renting is definitely doable, but the “cheap” houses and condos in East Rock are well over $400k unless they’re totally run down.

I thought they had another income to help with costs.

Depending on down payment those could be doable. There’s not that much inventory now, anywhere.

Fair, although if you consider the HOA fees and taxes on those condos I would still say they’re inadvisable on $75k without a VERY substantial down payment, probably more than 20%
