[quote=AN][quote=The-Shoveler]AN do you know what the rent is there?

If it is in line and not completely outrages for the area it could explain why.

if it is 3X times average rent for the area (or something close) then it would boggle my mind why anyone would rent there but whatever they want.

We have a recent grad driving a new Porsche working here, not something I did first starting out but maybe he has more passion for driving than I did LOL[/quote]
It’s about $200-300/month more. Definitely not outrageous. If you like new places and the amenities, then you can easily justify the $200-300/month more. That comes out to about 5-15% more that older condo/apartments.[/quote]

Really? if that’s the case then did they lower their prices???… I recall they we’re closer to around +$4-500 for a 1/1, at least that was what they use to list it at.. either that , or the privates has been jacking up the rent so the difference is not that great. most of the H1Bs that I spoke to didn’t want to rent their because they considered it way more expensive. But then again, there wasn’t much supply either in the private sector… ok, maybe times have changed.
