<p>Hi, does anybody know any available studio rooms under 1200 (preferably around 800-1000) that are walking distance to campus and of reasonable quality? If so, could you give me the address so I could go check it out. Thanks guys and if asking something like this is against the CC forum rules that I apologize.</p>
<p>bump. I guess this thread is of one those “you shouldn’t ask on CC” type things or is everyone just scrambling to find a place?</p>

<p>Diivio, my friend’s D is going there for graduate school. Finding a nice studio is way out of range, she says, but finding a nice room is possible. They are going out there to actually meet those who have roommate/suitemate/apt mate wanted out there so she can get some idea of who she’ll be living with.</p>
<p>My sons both have rooms in apartments here in NYC and are paying very reasonable amounts. No way a studio would even come close to affordable. Gotta go in with some people in a 2-3 BR, with a room coverted to a BR type arrangement to be affordable in high rent situations or go further from the hot points and commute.</p>
<p>You’d have to look for studios farther away from campus to get that price. I know one of the bluish buildings on Walnut (northside) has studios for around $900.</p>
<p>Same for the studios at Grace Garden (intersection of Hearst and Arch/Leconte).</p>
<p>But from what I’ve heard, the quality is only so-so.</p>
<p>I lived right next to Grace Gardens in the red brick building. My studio was $950 due to rent control. It was a pretty good size for the price and location. You’ll get lucky if you find something at that price so close to campus (literally, I was across the street!).</p>
<p>this seems nice:</p>

<p>Check out a place called Haste Manor. It’s basically dorm-style living but for really, really cheap for their studios. (You share a bathroom with a floor which is like three or four rooms. There’s no kitchen.)</p>
<p>thanks you guys, yeah I’m going out this coming week to get an apartment for the year.</p>
<p>Most of the studios on the south side are pretty run-down. It’ll be hard to find good ones at that range, but if you search on craigslist everyday, you’ll find a good one occasionally.</p>
