That's pretty rough, is it a house at least?

My sister pays $2000 a month for a 2BR walk-up (5th floor) in Manhattan, and that is a good deal.




First floor of a three-floor two family. 2br, 1bth, on street parking only.

Don't get me wrong, the place is pretty big, but, housing costs in the greater boston area are insane. Average house is between 350k and 400k for anything that's comfortable. Even "starter homes" are low 300's here.

My fiancee and I do pretty well, but we still can't afford a whole lot, house-wise.
