pittsburgh: I just want to know the normal amount of a down payment and monthly rental cost of a apartment in Pittsburgh, or just outside Pittsburgh.|||It depends on what area you live in and how nice the apartment is. In and around the University of Pittsburgh, 1 bedroom apartments are between 500 and 700, and two bedrooms are generally 700-1000. I live in a one-bedroom apartment in Squirrel Hill (a neighborhood to the east), and my apartment is $610 a month (it has a security door, is in good shape, and includes all utilities but electricity.) If you move slightly out of the city, the price goes down-- a little. One bedrooms can be found for 400-550, and two bedrooms can be found for 600-800. Obviously, you can get luxury apartments downtown for a lot more-- but a good estimate is 600 for a decent 1 bedroom, 800 for a decent 2 bedroom. Good luck!|||about 190- 310 a month|||could always check on craigslist -- brb -- http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/apa/|||This is a handy website that offers rental info on areas.
