If you think your apartment is the size of a closet, raise your hand.
We see you, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Since the median rental price for a studio or one-bedroom in the United States is $769, according to Apartment Guide, some high-demand cities can only offer meek square footage. But for others, like Portland, that gives you (or a dog!) lots of space to run around.
Software company AppFolio visualized 13 possible apartments in different cities, all correlating with that same price tag. And in case you were probably wondering, it also traced what happens to your rent check once you hand it over to your landlord -- and surprise, one of the major expenses is taxes. About 59.7% is left for the property manager to profit from, on average.
