Re: Rent
Average price for 1 bed apartment in DC is about $1000 p/m, go further down into southern Maryland and a 2 bed house is $1800 p/m, apparently DC's overall cost of living is 81% above the national average.

1 bed, something nice between 1000-1500. Anything less than $1000 is probably just a very small apartment of flatshare

And the hispanic workers, like most poor people that live around here, live in the unadvertised part of town, around here, that's a street over from the town green, a right heave.

I said "I had to ! ..... You've been here 20 f**kin years and still can't speak English"

Re: Rent
I have 2 houses that I rent out here in the Southside area of Jacksonville, Fl.
3 Bedroom, 2 bath, Dine and 2 car aprox 1450 Sq Ft.
$1150. and $1175. per mo.
Houses are a bit cheeper on the other side of the river.
I plan on doing a short term rental 7-10 Months on the new 2 bedroom town home in St. Augustine but have not figured out what the rent will be yet.
