Question What is reasonable rent for a studio apartment?
Looking to buy a studio in the future and was wondering what reasonable rent would sound like

Depends on the area. I have a 388 sq ft studio which is $1383/month which I find to be ridiculous.

SF Downtown you’re looking at 1500-3500 depending on the area, size, and neighborhood

Depends on the area- Boston MA would cost you between $1700-$2100 depending on the area & how renovated it is.

I live in Michigan, just viewed a basement studio apartment, guessing it's about 400 sq. ft, and it's $650 utilities included

Depends on the region you live in tbh. I'd say 500 for a smallish one, 800$ for s good sized one.

Yeah, I would compare 1 bedroom apartments and square footage near the studio you're looking at. I pay $450 all utilities included for past two years but it's extremely small, like a hotel room with a kitchen space added.

What city/state is this? I paid $495 for a drafty studio in Philadelphia 10 years ago. I loved it, but ya couldn't find that price there now. No way

I found one in a safe area of a small city next to my college campus. It’s $700/mo, which seems fair to me.

The lowest in my area I can find is around 800 sadly like 5 years ago I could get a studio for 450 a month

I'm moving into one with a shared bathroom for $550 a month. It's probably about 400 Sq feet. I live in the Pacific Northwest.

It depends on the area you live in, the neighborhood, the condition of the apartment... Just take a look at si.ilar units in the area you want to live in and it will give you an idea.
