Reasonable price range for pet-friendly 1 bedroom in Bangor?
Hi all,
I'm moving back to Maine after over a decade of living out of state, and need a reality check on rental prices in Bangor. I know what I can afford, but I want to hear from people who currently live here - what is a normal market rate range for one bedrooms with standard amenities?
I know this is a huge point of contention because the cost of living is insane, which is part of why I'm asking. I've seen some rentals posted asking what I consider Boston locality prices, in a town that is very far from having the Boston locality job market.
I was told by a management company representative that staying under $1400/month with all utilities included would be difficult. I expect a management company to be pushing for profit, but is $1400 for a one bedroom really "cheap" in Bangor now?
Edit: thank you all for your responses! I hate to see the struggle for such a basic human need but you all have given me some good perspective.
