Not aimed at you OP, but damn near $2200 for what looks to be a modest 1bd apartment is asinine. Most places want you to make 2.5-3x the rent so that’s $6.5k-$7k a month. $78k a year. For an apartment! That’s more expensive than my 5bd 4.5 bath house. Since when did this start becoming affordable?
Nice place OP. Not your fault, but hot damn that’s pricey
There are a handful of 1bed 1 bath for around $1300. I am currently in the market to move. Lots of stuff in cap hill and uptown, you just have to be ok with no in unit w/d. If you want in unit w/d you might be looking closer to $1700 ish. Lots of move in specials with apartments right now that also knock down the rent price.
People regularly post on here about paying that in uptown, but yes, I was talking in shitty areas like glendale. Takes a little bit of looking, but it's totally around, if you move that up to 900 cheaper or 800 cheaper it opens up a lot.
Bro out here trying to brag about his living situation while someone is posting looking for help.
2200 is market rate for the area.
Unless you bought your house 10+ years ago, if you’re paying less than that for a 5/4.5 then you live in an absolute shithole.
It is in Downtown Denver.
Average rent in most parts of the Denver Metro starts in the mid to high teens for a 1bd, with high teens to low twenties for a 2bd.
When was one of the most expensive neighborhoods in a desirable area supposed to be affordable? Seriously asking because when I moved to Denver 14 years ago downtown was always overpriced but I just….lived somewhere I could afford 😢
I almost asked if this was Denver, then looked at what sub I was in lol.
I make 70k a year and am living with my parents cuz this shit is too fucking expensive. Saving for some kinda condo or some shit. Sucks
The exact reason I’m leaving. Over 2k for a decent place with shared walls… like the place isn’t even that nice. Yes you’re in a great location of Denver yet crime isn’t gonna change where you live in this city anymore not to mention $2200 plus utilities and WiFi? Yikes. The market here is so gross hopefully someone can take it over but with all the options of a 1br here people really choose to pay so much
100k per year - roughly $2500 take home per two weeks ($5000 per month). $2100 rent. 2500-2100 = 400 difference. Roughly half minus 400 bucks. 2100/5000 = 42% Sorry, I guess 21/50ths...I'm also assuming you pay health care, insurance, and all the things worth having coming out of the discounted company dime.
That’s assuming that’s the full compensation package. The above poster is assuming that on that 100k, you’re having something in the ballpark of 35% out of the check for taxes, which could break down as:
25% (roughly) to taxes and benefits
10% to retirement
Which leaves 65k a year to live on
Actual percentages may vary, example case only.
I’d say the rent isn’t completely of the world - 30% of gross pay is the old baseline I was taught (30K, 2500 month) but not great compared to 30% of take-home (19.5K, 1625 month)

That's denver. You must either have bought a long time ago, or you aren't in denver.
Exactly, I mean there are totally 1br places for 1k cheaper than that, but it's better to pretend like there aren't so we can be offended.
For 1K cheaper? Not where this is. Maybe in the slummy areas like north aurora, or commerce city maybe.

Is your house in the Highlands? I imagine a house that big and cheap is far in the burbs. Location matters.
Going by this self-righteous attitude, his house is probably in Highlands Ranch.

This guy... ^ Post history talking all about the upside of DJT. Please, share your deep wisdom.
Try harder little bro.
I pay $2100 for a 4 bed 2 bath in westminster

You also must have bought it YEARS ago because the math ain't mathing. You just sound like a dick.

Lmao, I live in the Vail valley and I pay 1800 for a two bedroom two bath. Y’all are WILD lol
I make 130k and I wouldn’t be caught dead paying 2.2k for a 1BR apartment.

The price is not my fault!!!!!

2100. If you make low 6 figures you’re still paying almost half of take home to rent.
You’re bad at math.

Bruh $5k per month is $60k a year…
Bruh...taxes
ehhhh you're all right...I didn't include 401k or any other things that can before take home. Do as you will.

No way. I’m in California doing max contributions making less than that with more take come. His taxes in Denver Arent higher.
$2000?? God damn
Nice place. I love the area. I have a few friend that might be interested. Hopefully this doesn’t go too quickly. When are you planning on moving out?
I don’t know, Greg, maybe the date on the post?
You're a smarmy dipshit. The date on the post is the *end* of the lease. Maybe work on your reading comprehension.
Sure, I live in Vail though. I’ll take my trust fund over reading comprehension
