What buildings are you looking at?? 1br/1ba here is anywhere from $1,500-$2,200. That’s nothing compared to HCOL cities. LA and Miami you’re not getting away under $3,000

Also, check out east Atlanta/cabbage town/ grant park. It’s a super cool area and definitely has some of the cheapest options for apartments

Honestly, it’s the biggest bubble in the country. Rent if you can, buyers beware
