I pay $3k per month for a 1 bed flat which comes out as 20% of my household income - I don’t feel poor out here with a postdoc wife and my own salary that’s not FANG. Life in a nice part of Palo Alto. The HN bubble is a bubble, I wouldn’t worry about it.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoWhat's the square footage on that flat, if you don't mind, and is it detached? Just trying to get an idea of the market. Still ~half my bizarro world number though, hot damn.
- eddsh1994 4y ago750 if I remember right! It’s in what I can only describe as a holiday resort looking apartment block, with a dog park, swimming pool, and fire pit area.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoThat actually sounds really nice at that price point. 750 is a pretty damn big one bed(room?) apartment for sure, and with the perks, prime location and presumably high end building standards, the price seems very reasonable. Probably similar to what I'd have to fork out for a much more central apartment in Oslo, at a similar size and standard.
- eddsh1994 4y agoTrue but Oslo is a real city, Palo Alto is similar to the suburbs. I'm moving to Stockholm in the summer and much prefer the look of housing out there!
