I mean, I'm not sure what your price range is but this is literally the top result on Craigslist right now:

Granted it's Craigslist so who knows how legit it is, but if you're willing to share with roommates/etc. I don't feel like it's super hard to find a great apartment if you're willing to live further out.

That's OK price for 1 bedroom, but won't cut it for me, since I'd need a much bigger one :)
