As it stands, I rent a studio apartment in Cockeysville. As Shik can attest, I'm a master of cramming a large amount of furniture into a small space and make it liveable.
However, I have been looking for a larger place for some time now. I'd been thinking about getting a 1-bedroom in June when my current lease expires. So far, I'd been expecting to pay about $80 more for it ... not a bad deal (or so I thought).
Rolling through some listings on www.rentnet.com, I found a nearby apartment complex. One bedrooms go for $525 (or, $5 more then I'm paying now). Two bedrooms go for $585.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Going to head over tomorrow and check the place out. Also to going to talk to my cop buddy and find out what kind of "rep" the place has with the police. I've delivered there, and it doesn't strike me as a "bad" area (even if it does strike me as rather "cheap").

I'd "make" sure you "know" all you can about the "area" before "you" move "in".

Subtle. Very subtle.

If you have a lot of money saved up, you could probably buy a condo and pay in mortgage what you'd be paying in rent for an apartment. The mortgage on my condo is $592/mo for a two bedroom, two full bath (and if money ever got tight, I could always rent out the other room).
But what am I saying? You don't have any money saved up...you're a college student. You probably don't even have any money in your wallet

$40.
Once I get some of my debts paid off, I'll have more cash to play with.

Man, is that all you pay?
I was paying $775 for a one bedroom!
Was, because now I've moved in with my soon to be bride. We have a great house in Los Angeles now.

There are expensive one-bedrooms the closer you get to Towson and Baltimore, and there are some up near me for $720 or so ... (then again, the cable guy who came to install my cable modem told me a friend of his moved to a studio apartment in NYC and was paying $2k for something smaller then mine, so...)
