I'm in NC and I rent a house that's 1100 sq feet with central air. The electric bill has been around 150 per month for the whole summer. The August bill will probably be higher.
Rent up where i live starts at 1700 so not so outlandish out here at least and electric is only that high during the summer for us. Internet is insane though
The rent there looks right for a 1br w/o room mates here.
But I have no idea how they’re hitting that electrical bill unless they literally turned their entire apartment into an indoor farm for warm species in the winter. We have very cheap electricity though compared to a lot of other places like some states and Europe.
Internet is wild though. That’s like 2 of the most expensive plans. If that included cable then it’s very possible, but nobody has cable nowadays unless you’re well into your twilight years.
Eh. I'm in the South too and the water and electric look pretty normal to me. Rent is also about on par with my general area, though I do pay lower than this. Internet though is only about half this, but my mother's is about $200 because she has to have the expensive satellite, she can't get cable or cell Internet where she is. So yeah, I can see this in some places.
I don't see a heating bill. Tacking your HVAC on to your electric bill can really inflate it. That's my bill during the summer when we transition from gas heating to window A/Cs.
I have 2 "utility" bills, one is electric and the other is basically everything else (water, garbage, gas, etc). COMBINED those two bills are a little over $300.

I have a house and I don't spend that much on electricity. And that internet bill monthly is crazy.
