been looking at high rise condos and the HOA fees are insane. it's about $0.75/sqft a month for the HOA in downtown seattle and that can probably afford an extra $100-200k in mortgage if I was to buy a house in the suburbs...

it's just the usual 24 hour concierge, gym, swimming pool, etc... nothing out of the ordinary.

Yeah some of my ppls used to tell me to get into high rise living but I wanted nice big houses instead.  I mean either way u pay, bc what I pay for maintenance of the entire property would be a very high HOA.  I just want more space even if I'm living by myself vs a high rise view so u gotta pick based off what u want

Looks like down south is where it's at. Got a friend in Houston who pays 450 for a 2 bedroom. Round here cheap is 850. Highest I seen is around 1700

 

[datznasty]

Houston is lovely minus the traffic which is well chronicled as the worst in the nation, and seems to be pretty accurate from my experience.

i agree, i used to pay 1500 for a tiny 600 sq. feet 1bd/1bath here on the westside,
i pay 1250 for a 1bd/1ba 750 sq feet now still on the westside...
cost of living in socal is redic

 

[al audi]

All about location I rather live on east coast, west coast, south Florida. Like I know NC has great prices but meh.

 

[youngdoc]

Paying 2250 for a 2 bed 2 bath on the Westside. LA is definitely expensive but having a roommate helps

 

[thenewjs23]

$525 for 700 sqft
1 bed 1 bath
Houston, tx (in the hood)



Want to move but everyone I know that lives in better spots always have there stuff broken into. Homeboy's complex gets home invasions on the monthly and BMV's nightly. They are in the nicer areas.

I have yet to have anything in the hood.
