Does this sound like too much for an apartment?

Question

so my boyfriend, his brother, and i are looking in to getting an apartment in Vermont where we all live currently. I found a nice, 2 bedroom upstairs apartment in a quiet neighborhood in a town that has everything (post office, bank, restaurants, jobs, etc) for 775/month plus utilities. after speaking with the current tenant and rounding UP on the utilities (150/month for propane heat and 75/month for electricity and 75/month for tv and internet bundle pack from comcast) plus food it comes to about 450/month per person for the three of us. my boyfriend told me to keep looking because that was too expensive.. but i have been looking since the beginning of summer and our deadline to find a place is sept1... does this pricing for a 2 bedroom with off street parking, laundry included, and a whole garage of storage space seem too high?

Answer 1

He's crazy!

that is an wasome price for 1 persone much less three!

take it before you lose it! you want to getr that deal

Answer 2

Actually the price was fair, you need to simply show him the comparables on 2 bedroom units within a 5-10 mile radius.  What is killing is the d**n utilities.  If I were you I would stroke off the food bill.  It will bring down the cost of the 450 and you are not all going to be home eating dinner every night as a family.  He will get the picture and if not, let him do the looking then.
