I’m having trouble finding a 2 bedroom apartment within my 750 budget. Anyone have any recommendations?

I’ll be driving myself and I will be working at a bank in Republic

I’ve heard good things about trails end and the greens if that’s the case. Both are close to the highway for getting to work.

The Greens, but your drive to republic will be about 30 mins.

I'd look closer to Republic. It's not far in miles, but that drive can sometimes feel like for-ev-er.

Along with this willow creek is also nice (a bit more at like $825) but keep in mind most Wooten properties don't allow you to sign a lease months in advance. You'll need to check a month or two in advance and keep in communication or asked to be put on a wait list if something opens up

I say this as someone who used to work between JRF and Republic on 60…but lived by Bass Pro…it’s 8 miles one way to not even be in republic. I was still 10 minutes away from “downtown republic” with lights and traffic.
You could easily chew up over a half hour or more each way depending on your end and beginning points plus fuel and wear and tear. 3 days a week? Ehh, ok. More? Unless it’s like your family getting your hired at a bank in Republic there are dozens in SGF much closer that prob pay the same and will be much more convenient. You have a large time span between now and then and if you are local or could visit for a couple days I would do some exploring and driving to figure some logistics and realities out.

I’ve been working with my bank for over a year and I feel very tightly knit into the work family. I honestly love the environment so much I don’t really want to go anywhere else. If it’s too inconvenient I may start looking for other employment opportunities, but until I get my bearings I’ll probably stay working at republic. I appreciate your advice though

I live at Westwood. I’m in a two bedroom place that is $707 right now. Electric is separate but usually is about $60 a month for me. So slightly above $750 but not by much if that’s okay.

Try elevate student living. It's by campus.

The Greens, Trails End and Woodgate offer what you’re looking for but they’re on the opposite side of town from any of the campuses. What’s your transportation situation looking like?
