Well, I don’t know. Where do you live? Where do you want to live? There are sites like zillow that let you search, but there’s other listings and word of mouth. A combined budget of $1k for rent and bills isn’t going to go very far most places.
I’m in a small town, my roommate owns a 750sqft 2br house with a small garden. This year, the mortgage was $800/month, but property taxes went up so next year we’ll need to rebudget for $975.
He drives a forklift, and I’m a machine operator that’s been out of work since I’ve started getting presyncope that makes it dangerous.
I would like to live closer to employment, since I don’t feel safe driving any more and the bus runs once every other hour between 9-5, but housing in the nearest midsize city is still more than twice as much, and I’d have to give up my fruit trees.
I don’t think you’d find a 2 bedroom for $1k in NYC (though you’d likely save by not needing a car, so factor that into budgets). I see some on the map (Zillow, which I don’t know if it’s the best) for Philly, which I’m told is nice, but I’ve never lived there long term. I don’t know if they’re any good. You’d have to search yourself.
Yeah, I can’t find a 2br for $1k anywhere outside Flyover Country, and any savings from not driving is largely offset by the cost of not having a garden, unless I wanted to eat lower quality produce.
What do you do for work, and how did you get there?
Cool, where can I get an apartment like that? I have one roommate, and combined we have a budget of $1k for rent and bills.

You said these nice apartments were available, but I can’t find any, so I’m asking you.
Where do your friends live, and what do they pay for housing? How can I be like them?
I live in new york city. I don’t get the impression you’re engaging in good faith, though.
I keep being told that better is available, but am frustrated that there are never any details on how I can obtain it.
Well, you haven’t provided any details yourself so that seems fair.
