My first apartment was a basement apartment in Boston that I found for a steal: $600 for a one-bedroom in the heart of Back Bay. It didn't have air conditioning and summers got hot. In the winter, the heat was controlled by my neighbor across the hall. He went out of town for business trips and turned down the heat to save money. I wore gloves around my apartment.
I decided to move outside of the city when I found a two-bedroom apartment with air conditioning, as well as a parking space, tennis courts, and a pool I didn't have in the city. It was $700. I loved that place until they eventually raised the rent to $900.
When I moved to Atlanta, I found a three-bedroom townhouse with a yard for $740 a month. Where you live matters when it comes to renting. Want to know what $1,000 will get you in every state? Keep reading.
$1,000 Rentals in Every State
Reviewing available rental properties on Realtor.com, you'll see the differences in square footage, number of bedrooms, and amenities. While one rental may offer two bedrooms and two bathrooms, some only provide a studio. You'll find 1,000 square feet in Atlanta but just 83 square feet in New York City. Some cities (ahem, San Francisco) are so expensive your $1,000 goes into a room rental in an apartment with roommates.
Here is what $1,000 will get you in every state.
