C Street- Great Deal!! - (Moscow)<br></pre>Chas, have you seen these apartments? I have. Google Earth them at least and take a look see. No covered parking, the buildings are old, on gravel roads, and very tiny. No garage, no dishwashers, no central air conditioning, and the walls are paper thin, you can hear everything on the other side. Some the windows are cracked. No screens on the doors. They are more like hotel rooms than anything else. <br><br>The Apartment on C Street is a little better though. <br><br><pre>"Large 2 Bedroom Apt. W/S/G Paid, No Pets, No Smoking. Air<br>Conditioning, Dishwasher. 3 minute walk to U of I campus. 12 Month<br>Lease - month to month after. $550.00 Per Month"<br><br>Not bad, if true. No
address though, so I don't know the conditions there. <br><br>"unfurnished apartment, the main floor of an older home in quiet<br>residential neighborhood near East City Park. Gas Heat, hardwood<br>floors, very large yard with garden space, washer dryer hookups,<br>plenty of windows, off street parking and use of a small garage.<br>$555./mo"<br><br>Tiny, old, no modern day appliances. No air conditioning. And still pricey.<br>but I like the neighborhood. <br><br>"Spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath<br>apartment,stove,refridge,dishwasher,microwave,washer and dryer,covered<br>parking.no smoking or pets. $600.00"<br><br>That is good apartment, but $600 is steep for a person taking home $1000 a month.<br><br>"$390 Huge one bed, one bath apartment." <br>Saw it. Wouldn't consider it. I couldn't live possibly live there. <br><br>I said it was $1200 a month for an average home, not apartment, Chas. <br><br>Lets look at your findings:<br>Feb 20 - $750 / 2br - 228 N.

Jefferson)<br> <br>These aren't houses, Chas. They are apartments. <br><br>Only house you listed was:<br><br>"Feb 18 - $950 / 4br - Older home 41/2BR 11/2BA - (Public Ave, Moscow)"<br><br>With WSG paid by tenant, that house is over $1100 a month. <br><br>"I also phoned Hill Rental Properties and was told that, as a<br>percentage, very few of their rental properties were more than $900.00<br>monthly. Do you need further convincing?"<br><br>Well Chas, that is probably because this
company rents apartments to students, not homes. <br><br>I don't see one house listed on their website. <br><br>http://www.hillapartments.com/Rental_Guide.htm<br><br>Again, I think it is obvious, that Moscow doesn't have modern affordable<br>housing units. Which would be a 650+ Sq Ft. apartment with modern applicants<br>for under $550 a month. Nor can you find a modern house 3B/2Bath 1100 Sq ft. house,<br>for under $1100 a month. Most the modern houses are over $1200 and most the modern decent<br>apartments are over $600. Both unaffordable for the single person or married couple with a kid.<br><br>Best Regards,<br><br>Donovan<br><br><br><br> <br><br><br></pre><br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 2/20/09, Chasuk <i><chasuk@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: <span>Chasuk</span> <chasuk@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: Rent Prices Was: [Vision2020] Sen
