<p>So...I'm looking for a place to live next year. Basically all my friends live in Foxridge, so I kinda want to stay in the area unless it's significantly cheaper. Right now, I pay $350/month for rent & utilities, so I'm looking to not go over that.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it would be cheaper to get a townhouse or just stay in an apartment? The place I was looking at was Oak Manor, but I don't know how much utilities would cost in comparison to an apartment. Overall, I see rent is a bit cheaper, but not by much.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if there are any places that have rent less than $320/month (that are still relatively nice/clean)? There are gonna either be 3 or 4 total living together, depending on which is cheaper.</p>
<p>You can find townhouses in that price range, although you’re probably not going to find much that is right next to campus. Here are a couple I found on Craigslist, which is actually a really good place to go apartment/townhouse hunting. I have no idea if they’re any good or not, but they may be a good place to start looking. </p>
<p>Keep an eye on Craigslist and you’ll see different stuff pop up each week. </p>
<p>As far as townhome versus apartment, it really can go either way. I don’t suggest living in the major apartment complexes if you can help it; they tend to be overpriced for what you get and not as nice as some of the single units.</p>
