Is $2,400 for a 1b1ba ~700sq ft expensive for an apartment in Belmont with newish appliances? New to the Bay Area and I feel like rent prices are all over the place so want to get a sense check that I’m not overspending. Only water, garbage and parking are included.

Depends on the building and the amenities. In general that’s a reasonable deal. My friend rents a studio in Redwood City that is smaller with old appliances for ~$1800. Actual 1-bedrooms frequently start at over 3k.

That’s the norm. Mine is $3.2K in sf - and it’s an older building

I think that's pretty alright! I had a crappy 700 sq/ft apartment in Redwood City for like $2100 in 2018. How close to caltrain is it? What's the laundry situation?

That’s reassuring to hear! It’s about a mile away from the Caltrain but I’m planning on driving to work anyways. Laundry situation is shared but that doesn’t bother me too much

Honestly that is not bad all things considered. Rent is not ony high here but it seems like every time its time to renew my lease it is going up atleast $200 a month if not more. I cannot believe the prices of things right now.
