550, utils incl.

[edit] a little more info:
utils = gas, water, electricity, sewage, waste/garbage

+ 35 minimum cable tv & intarweb
-------------------
new total: $585 / month

apt features:

Denver, CO - Capitol Hill
1 bedroom
converted attic of an old, huge victorian house
dishwasher
community laundry (~ $2.25/per load for wash and dry)
street parking :thumbsdown:
heat via water-radiators, AC via window AC units (my own).

I could have found cheaper places, not that this is bad, but they were always either ghetto or inconvenient (like super-small-kitchen, or sh!tty location)

2 bedroom $710. Water/heat/gas included. Probably $25 for electrical, $35/month for phone, 45+30 for internet and digital cable w/Showtime and TMC.

So.....*opens calculator*, looking at about $865/month for everything. That includes $20 for laundry in the machines.

You are :D

Its actually on the cheaper side. Most 1bdrooms are over 1k here in the bay area. I cant get a studio since I got just too much stuff.

745 including utils for a 1 bedroom apt in upstate ny - when i factor in how much i save in meal costs by cooking for myself this actually turns out to cost the same as living in the dorms at my college!
