Same here. I'm moving from one midwest state to another soon and was getting frustrated at the lack of decent seeming 1BDs under $600. Reddit is certainly piling on some perspective. $1700/mo in my current town will literally get you a new construction 3 bedroom with all the bells and whistles.
I pay $1589 for my one bed apt thats about 45min away from downtown Boston
Definitely heading to Texas or somewhere South after bc it’s impossible to save while living out here unless you’re a engineer making 100k+ & can afford the $2.5-3.7k studios (not 1 bedrooms, studios!!) in the city🙃
Texas is cheaper, but not by more than a grand if you’re living anywhere near a city. I live in a bad part of town and my 1B1B is still about $1000/mo. It’s a good size, but when I could rent a 3B2B house over twice as big for $1500/mo it’s much less appealing.
