$875 for a large 1 bedroom + garage in Chicago. I have to pay electric and gas, but I get free laundry. 4th apartment I've had in the city and my favorite so far.

I was paying around $900 for a small room in a house that I shared with 3 others in London, UK. (i.e. $3600/month for a 4 bedroom) with 1 shower and crappy fixtures and no utilities. Location was good though - "N1" postal code which means roughly 1.5 miles from Oxford street. And we even had a back garden to BBQ in

Now I pay around $2200 a month for a 3 bedroom 2000sq ft. with a decent yard near(ish) Seattle. (EDIT: mortgage, not rent).

Chelsea in London or Chelsea in NY? (neither would surprise me in terms of cost).

$250 a month, 4 bedroom house + pool in Thailand (obv. I'm only paying 1 BR)

Seems kinda ridiculous after all the NYC rents

$1675 2bed/2 bath

$845 for a studio apartment (utilities not included) in the "center of the universe." Google map it. It's a fun neighborhood.

$2110 for a 3br + 2.5ba 2500 sq ft home West Hills Portland OR. Live with 2 other guys, I have the master and pay $800 and they pay the rest.

Live in a very nice neighborhood that's very close to downtown.

$825 (of $1600 total) for the master in a 2BR, 2BA converted loft condo in Atlanta, right in the Old Fourth Ward.

That also covers all gas, water, sewage and basic cable/internet. We pay for cable upgrades (HD, HBO, Sports Package) and electricity.

$830 + util ($100mo winter $20 summer) 380 sqft w loft (13 ft ceilings) kitsilano Vancouver.

Rent -> 1/3 or less ideally.
Mortgage -> Doesn't matter imo (as long as you can still get whatever quality of life u want and not necessarily have a savings)

I pay $2100/month for a 450 sq ft apt in NYC. Annual rent ($25,200) would be ~10% of my pre-tax income. Previously had a bigger apt (600 sq ft) in the East Village for $2250/month, but the LL bought out my lease.

10 600 $ /month in moscow,russia, 2bedrooms,plus den ... grossly over priced but it was the only decent size apartment in the building we wanted to live in ...
