Per month, most likely. I've never heard of anywhere other than motels that charge a weekly rate.

There's a handful of apartment complexes in every city that cater to transient folks, drug dealers, street kids hiding out, etc etc.

So let me get this straight. Each one of you in this apartment is paying $600 per week? How much is this property worth?!

I think Krillz made a mistake. If it's $600/week, then he means all 3 combined, which would mean $200/week a piece. There is NO CHANCE AT ALL that an apartment is renting in that location for that much money.

I don't want all you out-of-towners to get the wrong impression. Where he lives I'd estimate that an apartment should cost: 1br ~$1,100-1,500/month 2br: ~$1,400-1,800/mo. 3br ~$1,600-2,400

no thats by the month, not the week. the apt is 4 bedrooms at about $600 each per Month.

i didnt mean to say it was by the week. its by the month.

Yeah..that was 2 years ago. I heard that Wburg and the Pratt area is spilling over into that area more and more.

For the record I was walking to get Pizza...not on a bike at the time. Scary ****.
