<p>I have talked to many people and it seems like the main off campus housings are: homepark, 100 midtown, and metropoint. These places are not very safe and they are somewhat expensive for the low quality housing they provide. I have searched the web for other inexpensive(~700-800$) apartments/condos( 1-2BR/1BR) in the area but from the reviews, almost all of them seem to be very unsafe, have cockroach or bedbugs, and have bad maintenance (dirty hallways/elevators/stairs). Anyone know any good, fairly priced place in midtown?</p>
<p>The problem with midtown is that apartments will either be older and unsafe or new and expensive. People who live in midtown either pay a ton or have 3-4 people rent an apartment together.</p>
<p>If you want to find a place that’s more affordable, look up around Howell Mill/DeFoors Ferry/Collier area. That’s a 10 minute drive to campus but you’ll be able to find the balance of cost/quality that you want.</p>
<p>please live on campus, its soo much safer. I got two security alert emails in the last 24 hours.</p>

<p>just today… reconsider living on campus…</p>
<p>that is kind of expected from the homepark area. Which is why in my original question, I asked for places other than homepark, etc. I am sure there are safe places that are not super duper far away from campus.</p>
