Several years ago I was able to rent a large studio apartment in Printers Row in Chicago for $750/mo. At the time, the apartment building was redoing their facade and had plywood leaning against 3 windows. I loved it. While other studios in the area were going for $1200+, I was living in my dream apartment -- and I could _afford_ it! Truth be told, I liked the plywood. The windows they covered looked over a short hallway rooftop and directly into someone else's kitchen!

Hmm... I turned down a super cheap apartment because the neighbors gave me an uneasy feeling. The entryway was really hidden and as a single woman, I try to trust my gut about those things.

Also, I try to avoid places that have smokers for neighbors (no offense smokers). You can't always control who your neighbor are, but I'd prefer living next to a drummer over an indoor smoker... And I've had both as neighbors.
