$725 in Arlington. 10 minutes outside DC. 10.5% of gross. I've got 5 roommates and a 4,000 sq. ft. house.

Yeah, 5. We all get along really, really well, so it's worked out. I do look forward to getting my own place soon enough, but am in no rush. Somehow we actually have a very clean home which I've never experienced before with roommates.

$2400 in NYC. I split with SO. 17% of gross.

Killing it! BCG1... don’t forget about us when you’re at the top 😉

$1300 - 2 br - Dallas ~11%

DC - 2 bedroom - 3300/mo total or 1650 for my half. I make 80K.

I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.
