Okay, so Boston is where they are? I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area (sadly moved away), but my knowledge is from my part of the Bay Area which is an hour or so out. I think those prices are still insane, especially given that it's more than I currently make in a year. And it's more than six months wages when I was making more. And that's not even accounting for things like food and I would not be surprised if it doesn't cover gas or electric or water.

Since you gave me the cost, I went a did a little research and also something hit me. . . it's a five bedroom apartment. I've never actually heard of a five bedroom apartment, but moving on from that, the cost I found is that the average three bedroom apartment (which is the most bedrooms I've ever heard of in an apartment) is $4,901 per month in Boston, so given that five bedroom apartments are likely to be incredibly rare, the original price for the expensive one was actually a pretty descent price (remind me to NEVER move to Boston . . . not that I'm ever moving to any big city if I get the choice, because I like smaller ones) for a five bedroom apartment. Given that the cost went up around $1,000 for per month per room between one, two, and three bedroom, a five bedroom would probably cost around $7,000 on average in Boston if you could find one, so. . . yeah, the original price was generous, the inflated price was insane, and the cheap apartment was, well, beyond low for what it was (I think it was also the mythical five bedroom apartment that may or may not actually exist in reality).

Does exist. I continued my research and I even found a six bedroom apartment. The five bedroom ones I found where ranging between $3,000 and $5,000. . . so I think maybe my original source was putting in some fancy things that cost a ton into the mix. There was even an eight bedroom apartment that cost under $8,000 a month. I'm stopping now.
