Holy smokes, what city are you getting rent for less than $700?

A two-bedroom in a modern high-rise will cost you about $300 a month in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Quite a developed city, and, according to a few friends of mine, very pleasant to live in.

4 people splitting rent on a house will get you very nice accommodations for 600-700 in most of the US, even some coastal cities.

yep 4 people in san francisco. I mean I've lived in the city since the 90's. and eventually you get to know people who value decency over rent. Also, tiny room.

Can you name some? I'm very curious because that was low even for a tiny little college town several hours from any coast ~10+ years ago.

Green Bay, Wisconsin. Erie, Pennsylvania. Youngstown, Ohio.

There are a lot of of places with ~$700 rents in the US.

Disclaimer: I'm building a project that helps people find these types of places: https://www.exoroad.com/?meanRent=300%2C1000&population=6000...

I put in $1,000 average as a maximum which means you'll find many studios around $700.
