Mail Call – A Home for $1000 a month? I’ll Take It!

"I would like to make a comment about the rent in this area. I think it's really ridiculous. I have to move, and I'm on a fixed income. I can find no homes for no less than $1,000, and I think it's just ridiculous." - Williamsport area

I'm not sure why you think $1000 per month is too much money, but try going closer to Frederick or Montgomery county before you complain. I used to live in Germantown and I was spending $1300 per month for a 850 square foot apartment. I moved out here and now spend $940 per month for twice the space which is a huge savings. The reality is that the rent will never go down in Hagerstown again, especially as Frederick becomes more built up in terms of commercial businesses and people start thinking of Washington County as a suburb of DC. The only way you will find cheaper rent is to continue heading west or into PA otherwise I wouldn't count on spending any less.
