I also think it's important to note that parking for a lot of these apartment buildings is $150-$200 per month on top of how much you're paying in rent itself :(
Tacoma: For $1500. you can rent a 1800 sq. ft. store, on a semi-main street, with its own 40 car parking lot. Then you can run a business, and be legally permitted to sleep there.
@@arayahwalker740 doesn’t really work like that in Seattle. You’d have to pay hourly rates which would prob be way higher and huge risk for car theft/getting towed
That gender wage gap of $20k directly corresponds to the gender occupation gap. Software engineers/programmers/developers in Seattle earn over $100k per year, including entry-level workers. Since about 80% of them are male, the average annual wage for men will skew higher. The moral of the story is we need to encourage our young women towards math and science.
As someone born/raised/living in the Seattle metro area - I'd love a video like this for what you get for $1500 in other areas in the metro area like Tacoma, Renton, Lake City, the ol' FW stomping grounds, etc.
Also like other neighborhoods like Fremont, Ballard, Wallingford area. It’s so cool to see a Seattle TH-camr, but I want her to show more than just the downtown area!
i've lived in renton for all my life (i'm only 16 and soon to be 17 this year) and i go to school in capitol hill and boy is the commute a nightmare !!! it's getting worse and worse as more people move in
Super important thing you missed. A lot of those more 'affordable' older places in Seattle have a high risk for mold. It's almost better to stretch your budget and just pay the extra $200-$300 for a 450sqft newer building.

For about $300 more per month and AWAY from the Seattle area, I'm living in a 4 bedroom 3 bath, 2 office home with fireplace, 20X30 shop, RV parking, etc. Why would I want to move to Seattle for more money? There is an advantage to being married.
@@CarsoroniAndCheese The prices have gone up, so don't expect to buy at the prices I did. Near the Columbia Gorge, walking distance from schools, etc. Paid to get a fixed mortgage so when the prices started going up, mine didn't. Quality of life and affordability were some of the big reasons I located here. About 1 hour drive from Mt Hood Skiing, 2 hours from the beach, 2 hours from Seattle, unless going during high traffic times in Tacoma, etc. 3 hours from Central Oregon high desert, less than an hour into many of the hiking trails in the gorge, hour and a half from Mt St Helens, and in general beats living in a crackerbox for the daily grind.

Many people are leaving due to the amount of income that is required for some very small place. I'm not renting.

CA gas, electric, property, etc are way overpriced and regulated. I would need to more than double my income to even consider moving there.
😳 I get it. It's the location that makes it so pricey but how do people making minimum wage survive? What about people that work at stores and fast food places in the area? I'm sure they make mostly minimum wage. I live in Akron, OH and you can easily find a 1 bedroom apartment for $700 a month in a safe area. I can't even comprehend how your average person lives in such other places.
I love this video! ✨ I live in Seattle and only pay $1,750 for a three bedroom house. I used to live in Capitol Hill and paid $1,240 for a 450 sq ft studio. There are definitely still more affordable options in the city if you look close!
Me: a broke 19 yr old university student who’s not (and probably will never) look for apartments in seattle Monica: uploads what $1500 apartments in seattle looks like Me: watches, bc it’s monica ye know
I live in Eastlake for 1300 (500 sq ft) and I have space needle views. It’s would’ve been a 3 hour video if she did all the neighborhoods. Also depends on the landlords/management running the place
Yeah, I lived in an open 1 bedrooom in Greenwood for 1195; and live in the U District now in a SUPER new building, studio, in-unit washer dryer for 1560.
I live in portland and I notice there’s SO many new buildings coming up but I’m hoping they drop in rent bc people aren’t migrating here as much and half of their units are just sitting empty so I don’t get it
It’s incredible the amenities you get in a place like Seattle not to mention how modern all the apartments look. Dog washing stations, BBQ areas, and lounges. All for $1500? People from other big cities would love this. As someone who has lived in Hawaii that apartment shown here would easily cost $2000 but with no washer and dryer
I think it would be fun to do a “what $1500 gets you in wine country” like the Sonoma/Napa area. I recently moved and it was almost impossible to get anything under 1800 so I think it would be a fun challenge. Plus you could go out and taste some wine in the process 😋
Lea Butler wine country is also is Washington, she could go to Woodinville Washington. Tons of wineries, and only 30-45 minutes from where she’s located.
Very accurate video. I lived in a newly built apartment building on Capitol Hill in a studio that was $1,500 that had an in-unit washer and dryer as well as a small dishwasher (!!) The parking was atrocious at $250 so I got a zone parking permit and parked on the street but you need to be an EXPERT parallel parker and sometimes I’d have to walk 3-4 blocks to my apartment from where I parked. The building had an amazing rooftop with downtown and Space Needle views that had an indoor/outdoor area with free wifi so I didn’t bother to set up wifi in my apartment and would go up to the rooftop if I needed to do something on my laptop. The area was honestly the best though, extremely walkable and I’d have like 20 restaurants, bars, coffee shops, juice bars, hair salons, grocery stores and whatever else you needed just blocks away. The subway station was also a 10 minute walk away so I barely needed my car. IMO it was worth every penny.
My thing about living here (in seattle) is parking, so yes I pay $1300 for rent, but almost $400 for parking a month. That’s not counting utilities, pet fees and all that jazz. It’s hard to live in IN Seattle on a budget for sure. I’m thinking of moving out to the east side and just commuting to work everyday.
If you factor in things like minimum wage and people with families, this just highlights the horror of the affordable housing crisis. $1500 for a 250 square foot studio is just horrifying and yet, that’s exactly what is happening where I live too.
in school, professors tried to explain that women are a higher financial risk because of pregnancy and maternity leave. i'm not sure if i buy it, especially since there are plenty of couples that never have kids and/or adopt. but i'm for sure gonna watch that episode of explained. thanks for sharing!
Yeah most people dont make 70k let alone 60k in seattle. Also please factor in the differences in types of jobs when you compare the 60-80k incomes. Im working to move to texas so i can get a house one day.
Hello fellow seattlelite! Great video. I had a open “one bedroom” basically a 750sqft in Bellevue at the Bravern tower. That sucker was 2600 a month with parking (cheap for the building) So yea. If you don’t mind taking the bus move north. For less than that I own a 3 story band new townhouse one mill creek. Traffic sucks..... lol
I lived in Western Washington for the first 37 years of my life. After moving to AZ recently and seeing videos like this, I don't miss it one bit. Our mortgage on the home we just bought down here is $1400 a month. Did I mention it's a 3100 sq ft, 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath, with a three car garage and a pool, on a 1/4 acre lot?
Monica, I love how well researched your videos are. I don't even live in the US but I love these videos! I'm also learning that Australian rental prices are a little more affordable...
If you wanted to look at Seattle “Open one bedroom” style apartments (which is a more popular choice since it’s in between a studio and one bedroom) let me know! I consent to offering up my apartment :) Also there’s this affordable housing program i used to be a part of where your rent gets capped at a certain amount based on your income. #videoidea
Not too long ago, capitol hill was a great neighborhood for $500-600 1 bed, with an oven included. Washers and dryers on site. I miss what Seattle used to be.
i'm in capitol hill and we pay $1500 for a 1 bedroom in an oldddd building only a block or from the micro studio you went to on harvard. it has almost no ameneties and we have to pay an extra $150/mo for parking, as well as being a walkup, shared laundry, utilities, and about $100/mo for trash/water/etc, BUT we feel like we completely lucked out. we'll never find an apartment like this, in this area, for the same price ever again. we came from san diego a few years ago and we def didn't expect seattle to outdo san diego rent prices. anyway, loving your seattle content since you moved back!!
I just found your channel and I LOVE IT! I do videos for Hostels so I know how hard it is to give people a good tour and information in a fun entertaining way and you do it SO WELL! I am moving back to Seattle (as soon as the pandemic is over lol) and this is ON POINT lol.
Male median income: $80k/yr. Female median income: $60k/yr. Reliance on a gross statistic, such as this, and implying/declaring automatically an injustice is the most disingenuous and sophomoric declaration possible. Dig into the #s. The differentials will decrease when like situations are compared.
$1500 for that?? Goodness. I love these videos, but living in Tennessee, it’s so different. We had 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathroom for $650 at our last apartment. This is just crazy.
Awesome video! Another thing about the old buildings is that they usually don't have parking or allow pets, so often people needing those can't live there. I'm currently looking for a new apartment so wish me luck :)
I love her video and presentation. My only 2 cents to add is the added cost for parking. I'm not sure what the average is in Seattle but mine is 200 per month (in apt parking garage) which actually when I think about isn't that bad. When I lived in St louis parking was 100 per month. Before I landed here I was very worried how much it would be. I was told there was a waiting list (unheard of in St Louis, ) and wasn't sure what to expect.
Time to check your math. Gross monthly income is the amount of income you earn in one month, before taxes or deductions are taken out. If the median income is $70,000 and you apply the golden rule of 30% then the cap on rent would be $1,750, not $1,500.
Loved this! I would love to live in Seattle, but with how steep the mortgages/rent seems to be, it seems like an average income household would struggle living paycheck to paycheck there. I dont know how any middle income family with kids does it.
Cute micro studio. Love how new it is. Sucks no oven though. My partner and I are living in a micro studio currently and it works for us for now. The price is great
I make about the "median" salary and I live in Cap Hill, Seattle. I live in a microstudio but pay $1225 a month! I just moved from Boston where all you get are old OLD apartments so I definitely appreciate the option for newer options here.
That median income statistic could potentially have no correlation to gender inequality but could have a relation to what kind of jobs men and women are occupying. Men generally go into business, white-collar type jobs and women tend to go into social service type jobs. Social service jobs generally pay less than business, white-collar type jobs. Just something to think about or to get the discussion rolling...
I think that tech is a big part of the disparity as a lot of the big tech firms have been found to hostile towards women and the POC. Another point is yes the types of jobs that men and women do does affect the median salary but this is also gendered, if you think about it why does a teacher or social worker make so much less than those working white-collar jobs. These wage disparities are deeply tided into gender and racial dynamics.
@Rob Pashley "Misinformed" if you looked at any of the social science research that has come out on this topic in the last 2 decades it alights with everything that I stated. For example, there have been a ton of studies out the University of Chicago Booth school that shows that women and some minority groups choose STEM fields less than their white peers because they were either not recruited by these programs or did not see a defined path in these feels for career advancement (flexible hours also played a big role for women). So before you lecture me, I believe you have some reading to catch up on. If you would like I can link you to a couple of the papers that I am referring to.
Seattle is also paying $50+ per hour for construction workers. I've noticed a lot more dudes working out in the rain all day, digging trenches. Overtime is 1.5x and there are lots of buildings going up.
@Arthur Feitosa Good idea! There's tons of work around. Lease Crutcher Lewis has a bunch of projects going up and they're always looking for people. They rent a building from us on Broadway in Seattle.
I pay $665 for a 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bathroom condo in Pennsylvania. I also have a full basement with washer and dryer, free parking in a parking lot and a pretty large deck attached. It boggles my mind how much people pay in rent. I know it has to do with location but it's still crazy to me!
If I lived in Seattle I definitely prefer the older studios vs the newer ones. I live in Charlotte and a new 1 bedroom can go for $999-$1500 and a older 1 bed can go from $735-$985.
Really fun to see inside the microapartments! Ive wondered what’s they are like every time I drive by. I am happier having a bigger house with a yard a few cities away from Seattle though.
LOL I love this cause I live in NY and that micro studio is basically what would cost you 2500 dollars in the east village but the landlord would be like "this is a two-bedroom apartment" LOL. love these videos thanks for sharing
Well Seattle and west coast cities are experiencing many economic booms. Many workers could earn up to $5,000-$10,000 a month compared to other cities. Which almost comparable to NYC.
This video included a lot of useful information, unlike many others that ramble on about personal trivia. The apartments shown were generally "nicer" ones, and I'm sure that there are also older, cheaper ones that haven't been recently renovated and/or are in a slightly seedier part of the city. It does appear that for $1500 or not much more, a single can find at least a decent studio or "urban 1-bedroom" (I liked that plan).
Super great video! Just did a video on What $1,800 gets you in Virginia/Washington D.C. Love the content and keep it coming. Especially the more finance type stuff!!!!
I'm moving to Seattle in Jan 2022, and have been keeping a spreadsheet of all the under $1500 apts with the features/locations. So far I've got about 10 of them on the sheet and will narrow it further based on grocery stores and proximity to train or rapid ride bus.
I'm paying $2200 just to rent in WA. Was buying a beautiful brand new 3bd 3 bath home with full basement in Ks for $1600 a month. Had to move because of job loss.
i lived in big house ( parents house) after marriage we were renting smaller house but with my husband we moved across the globe and took only clothes...and now we are living in one bedroom apartment on 14th floor...and u guys i love it ♡ i realized i dont need many crap i love to watch declutering and organizing vids and up cycling furniture etc... i filled the apartment with plants as well ☆
Although it doesn't take anything away from this video, the "golden rule" of spending 30% of your income in rent specifies gross income (even the screenshot you included did). Gross, as opposed to net, is before accounting for taxes. Thus 30% of $70,000/ year allows for $1,750/ mo in rent, not $1,500.
The average salary in Seattle for a machine learning engineer is 190k per year...em...1,5k per month for a light, clean and middle apartment is a big deal, I don't understand why people always say that kind of things of big cities when that cities have more purchase power than towns or small cities, you can check it in numbeo if you don't believe me
Me living in Seattle: *Lives with roommates to save on cost. I'm not surprised by these. Also it does really depends on cost of location. I absolutely hate mico-studios. >
Honestly thought Monica and Shelby were the same person did not notice that I was watching from different channels until I watched the swap clothes with my twin video on shelbys channel !! But I’m so Glad that there are 2 of them 😍
We pay $1300 for a 6 bedroom 3 baths two living rooms house (own) in Tri Cities, WA. Of course is not Seattle but there is a huge difference in price and we only 3 hours away from Seattle.
Thank god I buy real estate. No wonder my Dad said I’m living on champagne for beer prices. I get far more in Camarillo, CA for far less and it’s beautiful and between LA and Santa Barbara.
I live in first hill (7th & cherry) so pretty much right on the freeway! I live in a 300 sq ft studio and I pay about $1,400 this includes rent, pet rent, and most utilities. My set up looks pretty similar to the first apartment you visited but my building is over 100 years old so theirs was definitely more sleek. It’s so fun seeing all the different apartment types there are in the city!
As a broker in the Seattle area this was super interesting to watch! I typically deal with purchasing prices rather than specializing in rent rates so this was very informative. Thanks!
I wish there was more of a market for rental brokers in Seattle! I personally don't know anyone in the area that has used on or really even heard of one, but when I moved to Boston, rental brokers are the norm there (to the point where a broker fee is charged for pretty much every apartment listing available). It made the process of apartment hunting infinitely more smooth and less stressful!
What you really need to look out for are the "in between" building sizes in Seattle. The semi-old buildings with 6 units or less. You can find some gems.
That's because we pay health insurance. I rather have health insurance and only like a bit over 1000€ of income instead of having no insurance and more money.
Hi Monica. It was really interesting video this time because I am planning to move to Seattle in this month or next month from Los Angeles. Why I want to move to Seattle is to have my own food truck business. It is my first time experience for both having own business and living in Seattle. If you have any chance, I would like to see how the food truck business look like in Seattle. According to my research, there should be not Japanese food truck in Seattle yet. So, I want to try to open the first Japanese food truck in Seattle. By the way, I am a Japanese who has been in Los Angeles for 30 years. Thank you very much.
I'm in Everett and and live by myself, I pay $1400 a month for a 700sf 1 bedroom apartment including covered parking, trash and water. It has a fireplace, dryer and washer, stainless steel appliances, wooden floor kitchen, carpeted living room and bedroom a deck and a full bathroom. The building was built in the early 90s but the apartment was renovated and I like it so far. This is a great video very informative great job.
I’ve lived in Seattle for about 9 years now and the quality of life has been dropping really fast over that time. Rents are quite extreme now and if you move further out of the city, your commute times become just absurd. It sounds like Amazon will be importing another 14,000 or so people to Bellevue so things are only going to get worse here. I’m fortunate to have family that I can stay with until I can finish building my online business so I can get out of this area. A warning to anyone moving here though... have a plan to get out if you find that things aren’t working out. I know a lot of people here that find themselves broke and unable to leave.
Give up your car unless you have a garage. You’ll save a lot of money- property crime is huge here. Everybody I know has had their vehicles broken into often and sometimes the whole car disappears. You’re lucky if you get it back without a lot of damage. Not trying to be negative but please look up crime statistics. The actual crime numbers are higher than reported- people eventually give up on reporting after a while.
The old building shown here was super nice and was newly renovated inside. Most people who look for bigger spaces/cheaper rent end up in an old building with older and (possibly grimier) floors, walls, lighting, kitchen, bathroom etc. Which is why many people go for new buildings despite the smaller square footage.
I had a stipend of exactly $1500 and lived off of that money in Seattle for two years. This included paying for rent, utilities and all. I barely survived on it and almost never ate out. It was just enough for the bare minimum...
Alona Alexanderr I’m in the Sacramento, CA area and pay $1500 for my mortgage on a 1582 sq foot house and that’s on a 15 year loan (just refinanced from a 30 year). That being said, I did buy it in 2011 when the market was still recovering. Still, $1500 for tiny apartment is nuts.
mindheart absolutely, I’d never pay that much for a literal shoe box, mainly why I always opt to live in the suburbs. Hopefully soon I’ll be in the position to own a home and not throw money down the drain renting an apartment, but as a 21 year old college student I’m not quite there yet😂

Super important thing you missed. A lot of those more 'affordable' older places in Seattle have a high risk for mold. It's almost better to stretch your budget and just pay the extra $200-$300 for a 450sqft newer building.
Yeah, since it rains so much in Seattle, there's a bunch of mold opportunities everywhere. That's the only downside of living there.
The old building is way more aesthetically pleasing to me! The first one definitely looked like living out of a hotel.
the drawback is no washer/dryer hook-up in the older place.

Agreed. I'm in Greenlake and pay 1,500 for a 750sqft 1BR
I live in Eastlake for 1300 (500 sq ft) and I have space needle views. It’s would’ve been a 3 hour video if she did all the neighborhoods. Also depends on the landlords/management running the place
Yeah, I lived in an open 1 bedrooom in Greenwood for 1195; and live in the U District now in a SUPER new building, studio, in-unit washer dryer for 1560.
katherineviktoria gosh I find Fremont pricey!
I’m in wedgewood and pay 1550.00 for a studio
I live in portland and I notice there’s SO many new buildings coming up but I’m hoping they drop in rent bc people aren’t migrating here as much and half of their units are just sitting empty so I don’t get it
Toni Vasquez same in Redwood City girl!! Hella new apartments and I rarely see anyone going on those new big apartment complex
Same here in Los Angeles. And they are all empty. Everyone’s sleeping on the sidewalk or in their car.
Truth not paying as much in taxes as I used to in VA and that was almost always a red state soooo
Its because antifa ruined portland
@Truth Lynchburg Virginia, and now i live in Seattle Washington which in my opinion is a better location to live
It’s incredible the amenities you get in a place like Seattle not to mention how modern all the apartments look. Dog washing stations, BBQ areas, and lounges. All for $1500? People from other big cities would love this. As someone who has lived in Hawaii that apartment shown here would easily cost $2000 but with no washer and dryer
it’s kinda crazy how much it is for the month when my mortgage is less then all of these apartments and utilities combined... my goodness
I was born and raised in Seattle. Thank god my mom hasn’t kicked me out the house yet while I’m working and going to school 😂😂😂
I think it would be fun to do a “what $1500 gets you in wine country” like the Sonoma/Napa area. I recently moved and it was almost impossible to get anything under 1800 so I think it would be a fun challenge. Plus you could go out and taste some wine in the process 😋
Lea Butler wine country is also is Washington, she could go to Woodinville Washington. Tons of wineries, and only 30-45 minutes from where she’s located.
Come to Mendocino;)
@@ilovedrakealotshyea the grapes aren't really sourced from there though it's just for wine tasting
Currently paying 2400 for a 2 br in Sonoma county because I have pets 😑
Lea Butler I live in Napa also. Been here going on 6 years and I plan on moving when my lease is up.
Very accurate video. I lived in a newly built apartment building on Capitol Hill in a studio that was $1,500 that had an in-unit washer and dryer as well as a small dishwasher (!!) The parking was atrocious at $250 so I got a zone parking permit and parked on the street but you need to be an EXPERT parallel parker and sometimes I’d have to walk 3-4 blocks to my apartment from where I parked. The building had an amazing rooftop with downtown and Space Needle views that had an indoor/outdoor area with free wifi so I didn’t bother to set up wifi in my apartment and would go up to the rooftop if I needed to do something on my laptop. The area was honestly the best though, extremely walkable and I’d have like 20 restaurants, bars, coffee shops, juice bars, hair salons, grocery stores and whatever else you needed just blocks away. The subway station was also a 10 minute walk away so I barely needed my car. IMO it was worth every penny.
My thing about living here (in seattle) is parking, so yes I pay $1300 for rent, but almost $400 for parking a month. That’s not counting utilities, pet fees and all that jazz. It’s hard to live in IN Seattle on a budget for sure. I’m thinking of moving out to the east side and just commuting to work everyday.
If you factor in things like minimum wage and people with families, this just highlights the horror of the affordable housing crisis. $1500 for a 250 square foot studio is just horrifying and yet, that’s exactly what is happening where I live too.
The netflix series Explained has a good episode on the wage gap. Would recommend.
yes! love that show.
in school, professors tried to explain that women are a higher financial risk because of pregnancy and maternity leave. i'm not sure if i buy it, especially since there are plenty of couples that never have kids and/or adopt. but i'm for sure gonna watch that episode of explained. thanks for sharing!
Yes, love that Vox series! Love Vox in general and their docus are well researched and informative. Love how they feature unique topics.
Wage gap is the biggest sham in this country. Of course women earn less. BECAUSE THEY WORK LESS!!!

Hello fellow seattlelite! Great video. I had a open “one bedroom” basically a 750sqft in Bellevue at the Bravern tower. That sucker was 2600 a month with parking (cheap for the building) So yea. If you don’t mind taking the bus move north. For less than that I own a 3 story band new townhouse one mill creek. Traffic sucks..... lol
I lived in Western Washington for the first 37 years of my life. After moving to AZ recently and seeing videos like this, I don't miss it one bit. Our mortgage on the home we just bought down here is $1400 a month. Did I mention it's a 3100 sq ft, 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath, with a three car garage and a pool, on a 1/4 acre lot?

If you wanted to look at Seattle “Open one bedroom” style apartments (which is a more popular choice since it’s in between a studio and one bedroom) let me know! I consent to offering up my apartment :) Also there’s this affordable housing program i used to be a part of where your rent gets capped at a certain amount based on your income. #videoidea
Not too long ago, capitol hill was a great neighborhood for $500-600 1 bed, with an oven included. Washers and dryers on site. I miss what Seattle used to be.
i'm in capitol hill and we pay $1500 for a 1 bedroom in an oldddd building only a block or from the micro studio you went to on harvard. it has almost no ameneties and we have to pay an extra $150/mo for parking, as well as being a walkup, shared laundry, utilities, and about $100/mo for trash/water/etc, BUT we feel like we completely lucked out. we'll never find an apartment like this, in this area, for the same price ever again. we came from san diego a few years ago and we def didn't expect seattle to outdo san diego rent prices. anyway, loving your seattle content since you moved back!!
I just found your channel and I LOVE IT! I do videos for Hostels so I know how hard it is to give people a good tour and information in a fun entertaining way and you do it SO WELL! I am moving back to Seattle (as soon as the pandemic is over lol) and this is ON POINT lol.
No lie this was helpful being somebody moving from Dallas, Tx to Seattle for a job. Thanks for this seriously.
As a former Stockbridge resident on First Hill, I can recommend it's a great spot, though was about 400$ cheaper just 5 years ago!
Male median income: $80k/yr. Female median income: $60k/yr. Reliance on a gross statistic, such as this, and implying/declaring automatically an injustice is the most disingenuous and sophomoric declaration possible. Dig into the #s. The differentials will decrease when like situations are compared.
A lot of Chinese houses in the cities like Shanghai has similar layout like the urban 1 bedroom! I really like that layout!
“Gotta have the umbrella” you know they aren’t from here 😂
Yep no one that lives here would say that lol
Right? That was the first red flag. The second was his use of "I" as if she doesn't live there too.
After living here my whole life (minus 8 years in Hawai’i), I actually use an umbrella sometimes now... but not really. 😂😂😂
Yeah so many out of towners
Yep
$1500 for that?? Goodness. I love these videos, but living in Tennessee, it’s so different. We had 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathroom for $650 at our last apartment. This is just crazy.
how would you describe 1.5 bathrooms? i dont know what that would be
AnnaDaA one bathroom had a shower, sink, and a toilet. The other just had a sink and a toilet.
Full bath is shower, tub, sink, toilet
3/4 is shower,sink, toilet
1/2 toilet sink
Sterling Marshel not in Tennessee. Never heard of having 1/2 a sink. That’s dumb. But that’s how our apartment was listed.
@@wvdrummerchick ahh i see! thank you for explaining!
Awesome video! Another thing about the old buildings is that they usually don't have parking or allow pets, so often people needing those can't live there. I'm currently looking for a new apartment so wish me luck :)
I love her video and presentation. My only 2 cents to add is the added cost for parking. I'm not sure what the average is in Seattle but mine is 200 per month (in apt parking garage) which actually when I think about isn't that bad. When I lived in St louis parking was 100 per month. Before I landed here I was very worried how much it would be. I was told there was a waiting list (unheard of in St Louis, ) and wasn't sure what to expect.
Time to check your math. Gross monthly income is the amount of income you earn in one month, before taxes or deductions are taken out. If the median income is $70,000 and you apply the golden rule of 30% then the cap on rent would be $1,750, not $1,500.
Loved this! I would love to live in Seattle, but with how steep the mortgages/rent seems to be, it seems like an average income household would struggle living paycheck to paycheck there. I dont know how any middle income family with kids does it.
Kelly Dixon I see my neighbors and wonder that’s all the time
Cute micro studio. Love how new it is. Sucks no oven though. My partner and I are living in a micro studio currently and it works for us for now. The price is great
I had a 2br with a garage in the Ballard neighborhood for $1100/mo. That was 6 years ago. Unheard of now.
I make about the "median" salary and I live in Cap Hill, Seattle. I live in a microstudio but pay $1225 a month! I just moved from Boston where all you get are old OLD apartments so I definitely appreciate the option for newer options here.
I definitely love the new and modern buildings in Seattle! 😊🏣 One of the most modern cities I have been for sure!
That median income statistic could potentially have no correlation to gender inequality but could have a relation to what kind of jobs men and women are occupying. Men generally go into business, white-collar type jobs and women tend to go into social service type jobs. Social service jobs generally pay less than business, white-collar type jobs. Just something to think about or to get the discussion rolling...
King Julien Ah I did not know that! I’m from Canada so it differs from large city to large city
I think that tech is a big part of the disparity as a lot of the big tech firms have been found to hostile towards women and the POC. Another point is yes the types of jobs that men and women do does affect the median salary but this is also gendered, if you think about it why does a teacher or social worker make so much less than those working white-collar jobs. These wage disparities are deeply tided into gender and racial dynamics.
@Rob Pashley "Misinformed" if you looked at any of the social science research that has come out on this topic in the last 2 decades it alights with everything that I stated. For example, there have been a ton of studies out the University of Chicago Booth school that shows that women and some minority groups choose STEM fields less than their white peers because they were either not recruited by these programs or did not see a defined path in these feels for career advancement (flexible hours also played a big role for women). So before you lecture me, I believe you have some reading to catch up on. If you would like I can link you to a couple of the papers that I am referring to.
Seattle is also paying $50+ per hour for construction workers. I've noticed a lot more dudes working out in the rain all day, digging trenches. Overtime is 1.5x and there are lots of buildings going up.
@Arthur Feitosa Good idea! There's tons of work around. Lease Crutcher Lewis has a bunch of projects going up and they're always looking for people. They rent a building from us on Broadway in Seattle.
I pay $665 for a 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bathroom condo in Pennsylvania. I also have a full basement with washer and dryer, free parking in a parking lot and a pretty large deck attached. It boggles my mind how much people pay in rent. I know it has to do with location but it's still crazy to me!
Wow I knew the rent prices would be crazy but this is super eye opening!
If I lived in Seattle I definitely prefer the older studios vs the newer ones. I live in Charlotte and a new 1 bedroom can go for $999-$1500 and a older 1 bed can go from $735-$985.
Really fun to see inside the microapartments! Ive wondered what’s they are like every time I drive by. I am happier having a bigger house with a yard a few cities away from Seattle though.
LOL I love this cause I live in NY and that micro studio is basically what would cost you 2500 dollars in the east village but the landlord would be like "this is a two-bedroom apartment" LOL. love these videos thanks for sharing
It's pretty crazy indeed that something so small costs that much.. it's not NYC!
anna sr7 it really isn’t.
Well Seattle and west coast cities are experiencing many economic booms. Many workers could earn up to $5,000-$10,000 a month compared to other cities. Which almost comparable to NYC.

This video included a lot of useful information, unlike many others that ramble on about personal trivia. The apartments shown were generally "nicer" ones, and I'm sure that there are also older, cheaper ones that haven't been recently renovated and/or are in a slightly seedier part of the city. It does appear that for $1500 or not much more, a single can find at least a decent studio or "urban 1-bedroom" (I liked that plan).

You should do a video about renting from your perspective of a landlord and how much you rent out the rooms in your house for
Awesome! About to move to Seattle with the military and after watching this video I'm so glad for the $2000 a month BAH.
Just FYI, the rule about 1/3 of income for rent is 1/3 of gross income, not net income. Still loved the vid!
Morgan Lee Stoner yes I was going to say the same thing! Makes a big difference’
Dave Ramsey says 1/4 of net income for housing.
terryeffinp I think we’re just going based on the image she put on the screen! It said 30% of gross.
add in utilities and parking and it'll be more lol
30% of gross income? Prepare to be house poor... Especially after paying extra for utilities.
i lived in big house ( parents house) after marriage we were renting smaller house but with my husband we moved across the globe and took only clothes...and now we are living in one bedroom apartment on 14th floor...and u guys i love it ♡
i realized i dont need many crap i love to watch declutering and organizing vids and up cycling furniture etc...
i filled the apartment with plants as well ☆
Although it doesn't take anything away from this video, the "golden rule" of spending 30% of your income in rent specifies gross income (even the screenshot you included did). Gross, as opposed to net, is before accounting for taxes. Thus 30% of $70,000/ year allows for $1,750/ mo in rent, not $1,500.
not mentioned in the video, but including utilities and parking that 1500 soon goes up to 1750 fast

As a broker in the Seattle area this was super interesting to watch! I typically deal with purchasing prices rather than specializing in rent rates so this was very informative. Thanks!
I wish there was more of a market for rental brokers in Seattle! I personally don't know anyone in the area that has used on or really even heard of one, but when I moved to Boston, rental brokers are the norm there (to the point where a broker fee is charged for pretty much every apartment listing available). It made the process of apartment hunting infinitely more smooth and less stressful!
Love your channel and it makes me feel closer to Seattle :)
What you really need to look out for are the "in between" building sizes in Seattle. The semi-old buildings with 6 units or less. You can find some gems.

The building was built in the early 90s but the apartment was renovated and I like it so far.
This is a great video very informative great job.
I’ve lived in Seattle for about 9 years now and the quality of life has been dropping really fast over that time. Rents are quite extreme now and if you move further out of the city, your commute times become just absurd. It sounds like Amazon will be importing another 14,000 or so people to Bellevue so things are only going to get worse here. I’m fortunate to have family that I can stay with until I can finish building my online business so I can get out of this area. A warning to anyone moving here though... have a plan to get out if you find that things aren’t working out. I know a lot of people here that find themselves broke and unable to leave.
Give up your car unless you have a garage. You’ll save a lot of money- property crime is huge here. Everybody I know has had their vehicles broken into often and sometimes the whole car disappears. You’re lucky if you get it back without a lot of damage.
Not trying to be negative but please look up crime statistics. The actual crime numbers are higher than reported- people eventually give up on reporting after a while.
For a second I was like why does she look and sound so much like Shelby Church but.... now i know haha
The old building shown here was super nice and was newly renovated inside. Most people who look for bigger spaces/cheaper rent end up in an old building with older and (possibly grimier) floors, walls, lighting, kitchen, bathroom etc. Which is why many people go for new buildings despite the smaller square footage.
Can you also do one of these on the surrounding areas of Seattle
Check out Craigslist for housing ideas and prices.
I had a stipend of exactly $1500 and lived off of that money in Seattle for two years. This included paying for rent, utilities and all. I barely survived on it and almost never ate out. It was just enough for the bare minimum...

mindheart absolutely, I’d never pay that much for a literal shoe box, mainly why I always opt to live in the suburbs. Hopefully soon I’ll be in the position to own a home and not throw money down the drain renting an apartment, but as a 21 year old college student I’m not quite there yet😂
