Reply to comment by NPRjunkieDC in Apartment Hunting Prices...Is There A Catch, Here? by [deleted]

i live in a rent-controlled studio apartment with laundry in the basement in cathedral heights for $1350/mo (including $30 pet rent), 1.8k as a 'base' for a decent studio is ridiculous.

Did you see my comment about my 4BR/3FB condo? Each bedroom was $1450, and Master bedroom was $1650

cool, that's really expensive and in no way representative of the norm

That was market price from 2011 for 10 years . Different groups of tenants and never empty

i'm sure most luxury apartments are seldom empty too. i don't doubt that your apartment was that expensive, and maybe rightfully so, but it likely was either in a particular area or with extra amenities (in-unit laundry, gym, pool, renovated appliances) that justified that price.
