Wow, white cabinets, ss appliances, subway tile and granite countertops. They really thought out of the box on this one.

I live in southwest Missouri where the hubs and I rent.

We pay $775 for a cute 2BR/2BA duplex with approx 1600sq ft in a good neighborhood.

For apartments in this area you can get a nice 1BR on the small side (under 1000sq ft) in a good area for $550-650 or a 2BR for $700-800. That'll usually include some utilities, along with the property's amenities like pool, fitness center, security, use of a community club room if there is one.

We're looking now for a single-family home and our budget is $700-800 which again will usually mean a good sized house in a good neighborhood. I can't even imagine paying four figures for a place I'm just renting!
