1 bed 1 bath apartments rents are priced very high in sunrise area (Jacksonville: lease, condo)

[Write2Neil]

When I went down to book an apartment for rent for 7 months lease the price is too high that asking price of 1 bed 1 bath is around $ 1850 which is very high for a single bedroom for that area. Do you guys know any way to get a better apartment around near to amex office. Please respond to this thread if you have any.

Rent in South Florida is extremely high and only increasing at a very fast pace. There was an article about this in the local paper about a month ago.

I don’t know why a newspaper would even have this topic as an article. It’s common sense.

Because the rate of pay is not keeping up with the cost of living here. Housing is pricing people out of this area.

What would you think if you suddenly went from paying $700 a month in rent somewhere like Atlanta to having to pay almost $2000 a month here? Decent homes in neighborhoods with good schools start in the mid $300Ks.

Because it is noteworthy. There are very few areas in this country where cost of living does not match up with local rent costs and wages. The problem is that while rents skyrocket here in South Florida, wages wither stay the same or go down, while the national trend at the moment is wages going up.

Rents are high because people can afford it. This isn't unique. The rate of pay generally is, OF COURSE, keeping up with rising rents since people are obviously renting...

You have to be joking. An extremely high percentage of those living in South Florida can not afford rent here.

According to the article, people need to make $25.98/hour to live comfortably in a 2BR. Please post those jobs that are allowing people to make that type of money.

Have you tried Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta? There are many cities with abundant job opportunities and lower cost of living. South Florida is land constricted because of the Everglades and there's no more land to build out. This is a supply problem and causes prices to remain high. Also, many foreigners and northerners bring their assets and money here which decoupled the cost of living with the local economy. South florida is a very desirable place to live. If you can't afford it, look at Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville. Much more affordable because of abundant land and suburban sprawl to build new homes.
