Apartment Search and Comparison – Life Skills



Apartment Search and Comparison – Life Skills

Find three different apartments, either a studio, efficiency, or one- or two-bedroom apartment. They should be in three different cities in three different geographical areas of the U.S. such as the South, the Northeast, the Midwest, the Southwest, or the Northwest. As with most factors in life, location is important. As you find the apartments, fill in the tale below about all three. Do not leave any space blank. Write N/A if the information does not apply to you. I recommend that you not exceed $1000 a month for rent.

Once you have your 3 choices, C&P the actual ads into your U-drive Life Skills folder in a file labeled APT. Then add together all three monthly amounts for rent (do not include security deposit) and divide by 3. This will be your monthly rent for the upcoming game. If the ad does not mention a rental price, you must select another. If the ad offers you ranges only (like $760 - $1000) then you will add the figures and divide by two to get a median range. Use the area below to compute your figures.

Monthly rent: $491.17
