@Ellie NEIGHBORS. Well, past-tense, we decamped to the north side after I graduated. 51st and Ellis, with a famously-murdered boy’s abandoned house opposite. Best Times!

Oh man, I’ve lived in nine places in seven years. http://eemusings.wordpress.com/2012/04/21/a-rundown-of-my-renting-history/ Some good memories, some bad.

Ah ah!! I’m 22 and have lived in nine different places in the past four years (including my parents’ home and college dorms), the best of which was my last apartment during my study abroad in Berlin. A glorious five months paying €305 a month for a furnished two bedroom apartment which I singly occupied, including utilities and a short walk to the closest metro/tram stop and discount grocery store (I miss my dingy Aldi and wonderful Netto!). Now I pay roughly the same amount to share a studio in Hollywood, near Sunset/La Brea (no utilities included). I sigh for those bohemian days

Ha! I used to live in that complex on Argyle as well! The total Hollywood-starter apartment, complete with fake hardwood floors, an amazing view, cokey neighbors and constant break-ins (my roommate’s laundry was stolen out of her car, my PowerBook was snatched out my bedroom window)!

The last time I rented was five years ago. It was a three bedroom basement that was $1800/month and there were five of us. The ceilings were 6′ and the shortest of us was 5’10″ (the tallest was 6’7″). The bathroom was a giant step up and we all had to duck our heads in there. There were always spiders, and my clothes smelled moldy for months after I’d moved out.

California just didn’t work for me. I paid $650 for my share of a “loft” with three craigslist strangers and no walls in LA. Right now I pay $650 a month for a 1750 sft house with a fenced in yard with husband.
Home sweet home!

@Logan Sachon I was on the run from the boot man! I caught him approaching my car boot in hand and had to make a quick getaway. My tickets were probably $500 at least. I safely hid my car behind my house for 6 months while I saved up.

Man, I feel pretty good about only having lived in…5 places in 8 years now. I do have some tales though. Some of them are pretty gross.

@wondajules Was about to say the same thing! I’ll have two more to my roster by year’s end. So it goes.
