Is $1,000 per month for just a room with no private bathroom overpriced?

Yes, way overpriced

Nah, that’s the going rate for a room nowadays

I mean it depends on location. Amenities. Pet friendly vs non pet friendly (only mentioned because it’s nearly impossible to find a decently priced rental that allows pets) utilities, parking etc.. In a small town absolutely way too much money, in a big city it could be reasonable


But to me yes, I’m not paying $1k a month for a room. $1k a month for shared accommodations where I have free access to laundry, kitchen, bathroom maybe but even that’s pushing it. My previous rental before my dad died and I moved back home to take care of my mom was $800 a month everything included. So laundry, pet friendly, 2 bedroom, only downside was it was shared with upstairs that had toddlers and I worked nights.


At my current rental that is still overpriced for what I have is a 3 bedroom 1 bath basement suite for $1450 plus about $170 a month for utilities. So roughly $1620 that’s for summer months, in winter the utilities are closer to $200 making it $1650 a month. And I pay that because I had a dog (will be getting another hopefully soon)


Normal non pet friendly rentals I’ve seen are about $1200 for a 2 bedroom basement suite. For apartments I’m looking at what I already pay if not more. So again location factors in.

Even though I pay about 900 a month right now for my part of the room, I have my own bathroom. We both do. 1000 is kinda pricey without a private bathroom at least.

Also our rent is about to go down so it will actually be about 800 a month which is much more reasonable.

It depends where of course.

Here that would be absurd outside of high end places. Translating this to pounds would be £730 which if lucky can find you a 2 bedroom house to rent though for a £100 extra then you can easily find one. Most places be £200 a week that's why.

For just a room here it would be 400ish been around 80-90 a week.

For where I live yeah that's extremely overpriced you can rent out a pretty nice house/apartment with 2-3 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms with 864-1,125 square feet for less then a 1,000$ a month.

[Phoenix98]

It depends on the location. For Los Angeles, that would be cheap.

[Kingofkings1992]

Maybe “affordable”, not cheap lol

[Flower7]

Have you ever lived in LA?

[7Phoenix7]

[Apple1996]

[douride2]

$1000 and no bathroom. in my opinion that is way to much.

[Staximus]

That depends on the neighborhood and the house or apartment rent
