so mom and dad have been doing the comparative pricing on housing/taxes etc with that program Dad found AND going on the net and looking at housing.

I'd have to make 14,000 more to live as I do in Scranton area. Somehow I don't think that's in the cards (may email them and ask for a quote on that and one other burning question). studios rent for 200$ more than my two bedroom here. one bedrooms are around 850$

In Wheeling, I can rent a three bedroom bouse for 300$. Um, yeah, cheap rent (Wheeling is a bit of a depressed area) AND casinos AND tenure option....

Where the hell is Wheeling that you can rent a house for $300? Is it a crummy neighborhood or something?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

pretty much all over. I can rent a house for about that here too

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

300 dollars? Blinks. (I live in one of the most expensive areas in the country. Not my particular house, mind you, but overall, it's crazy/)

heck the mortage on ELD's place in FL wasn't all that much more.

If a college/university offers a tenure option, you can find a way to be contented there. :-)

Buh? Damn, the northeast is expensive, isn't it? The only way you'd find a place that cheap anywhere in New England is to go back in time a couple of decades.

Even in rural florida the mortages were less than i pay here in rent.

but yes you live in a prohibitively expensive area of the country. I nearly set up shop in Boston but prices wouldn't allow me

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nods, i'm being offered tenure here too.

I just fear it's tenure on the titanic. This school is tearing itself apart

Sweetie, I probably wouldn't live in a house that rented for $300. A decent house will be more expensive than that. Maybe West Liberty itself has housing that cheap, but I wouldn't count on it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

half the houses on line are that cheap. I know people with mortages that cheap. The housing market sucks right now.

still, i'm not about to live in a hovel and there's no housing period in West Liberty. i think there's 200 people there total

My mortgage is that cheap, but I wouldn't rent this place out for that amount. And I don't know what you're finding on-line or where the houses are located, but believe me, for a decent house in a nice neighborhood, you're not going to pay $300.

i won't be paying 850 either like Scranton
