small building, linear studio apartment shape, maybe 30x9 feet? small kitchen/bath
rural, 20 min drive from city, hour walk to nearest town
finished interior, but mice/rat problem
landlord kinda weirdly tracking my movements, she doesn’t want me working from home too many ways a week
cheaper place: ($600)
55 min from work -standalone MIL in a shared house, bath/kitchen in main house, 9x9 feet
more suburban, roads might be too dangerous to be walkable but if not, maybe 15 min walk to town
unfinished interior… no idea if there is a mice/rat problem but the kitchen area is separate.
got along well with potential housemates
I make $3780/mo after taxes, budget now feels tight, but not sure if the extra $1000 a month would be worth a smaller/unfinished space. I feel it might be worth it because I could save/invest extra money, or use extra money to make the rental nicer.
