The price of quality housing - Page 2

I also live in the South Bay, and have a ridiculous mortgage for a 4 bedroom / 3 bath house - at least it's a couple of thousand less now than it was when we first bought the house. While I love my neighborhood in San Jose, I would love to live in one of the nicer areas somewhat closer to my office in Palo Alto.

Is it Idaho? I seem to remember talking to the Boise natives when I was there for training and they had that complaint

About to move from a 3BR, 2.5 Bath, 2500 sqft home in Indy that we rented for $1250. We were going to live ina 3/2 2000' home for $1000 until the property management place called and said it was already leased out... after we had headed back to Richmond before moving so we went expensive since we were doing it sight unseen.

In Richmond, 2 years ago, it was $975 for a 3 BR/2 Bath 1400sqft apartment.

And, in Lawrence Kansas: $450 a month for a 2 BR/1 Bath college town apartment. But by the time we left, that was going for ~$600 per month until they demolished the place a year later.

Yup, Idaho. It's funny because there's many transplants in their 20s and 30s from all over the country here, but it's just the Californians that the natives have a problem with for some reason.
