What are/were rents in your neck of the woods?

[Zach Davis]

I was recently reflecting on how much rents have increased in my market in the last 10 years and am curious what has been happening elsewhere. My first apartment out of high school was a 2 bedroom POS that I rented from a slumlord for $550 a month, 8 years ago we were charging $600 for smallish 2 bedroom 1 bath flats in a large complex. Right now, I'm renting a similar unit in the same neighborhood for $825. What are your experiences?
