What is the avg rent around Las Vegas?

Average rent for a 2 bedroom right now is around 800-900, now this is in a descent area, toward henderson and what not. The closer you live to the strip the rent is in fact cheaper, but you are living in lower class unfortunetly.

Damn. I must be getting screwed. I live just half a mile from the Strip and pay $1,104/month for my two-bedroom place.

I pay 1k for a 3 bedroom apartment in a commmunity on the northwest area and I don't even live in Vegas yet... (long story) I'm still in State College, PA paying a $600 rent for a 3 bedroom townhouse and $550 for another 3 bedroom townhouse. [censored] , why am I paying for 3 places?

So I assume that you share the PSU places with 2 other people at each place? BTW, where are they at?

My place senior year was 1500/4 (2br apt. at Greenwich crt.)

Yeah you undergraduate students get [censored] !. Both my $550 (misleading anyway add $70 association fee, $20 insurance, and $80 taxes) mortgage and $600 rent are neighboring 3 bedroom townhouses. No sharing. I have 2 3 bedroom places all to myself !! (well with my 2 year old son and 3 year old daughter most of the time). Forest Edge apartments on West Aaron Drive. I could make a killing when I eventually rent out the one I own if I rent to undergraduates. But that's the thing, undergraduates students TRASH houses ( and they often don't pay rent on time or at all) so I probably just rent it out for 800-900 to a family.

I think these two are connected, mostly the 2nd being the result of the first. I know that any place I got while in State College, every person was required to have parents cosign. I only lived in places owned by the bigger members of the rental cartel, so they could get away with it.

I'd probably rent it to a family, although the rent students pay during the summer when they aren't usually there is tempting.

The one thing that I found cost a hell of a lot more than I was used to was auto insurance. The insurance pool in Las Vegas is VERY dirty. My rep told me that more than 60% of the drivers have at least one accident.

I have a Ford Mustang. I have been driving for 28 years with no tickets and no accidents. It cost me $400 a year in Wisconsin to insure. It cost me $700 a year in Minnesota to insure. It now costs me $2200 a year in Vegas to insure. That is VERY ugly.

Something isnt right with your situation. I have been driving for 17 years with a few tickets (only one speeding on my record now) and last year I paid $700/year for an 02 Lexus and $600/year for an 02 Tahoe. Neither of those were a multi car policy.
Although Vegas is known to be in the higher range when it comes to insurance, what you are paying makes no sense.

Do you live in Henderson? There is a major premium difference between some Henderson zip codes and some Vegas ones.

You guys both got jipped. I had the apartment above the Brewery bar and paid 300 a month...had my own room, a bar in the living room, and a balcony. And I was a block from campus.

Man was I cool...

...it was so easy to get laid when I was at the Big sleazy and would tell a girl my apt was literally across the street.

That sounds like a sweet setup. I had a pretty short walk from the Saloon. Otherwise I hated that place.

Gonna be nuts OSU weekend.
