Man, I wish I only paid $1200 a month for my one bedroom. I’m not even in or around a major city. I’ve looked at moving, but similar units are all the same or higher priced. The only way I could get a cheaper apartment is by renting from a slumlord or having a ridiculously long commute and then I’ll just be spending whatever money I saved in fuel plus those extra hours spent commuting every week are hours I can’t spend doing other things.
Quite reasonable for Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich, that I know of off the top of my head. Probably many other capitals in Europe. I checked Rome, Madrid and Barcelona and they seem to be in line as well.
Serious question: is 1b for $1200 an exaggeration or what

$1400 where I’m at, and I don’t even live in a big city
it’s below the national average price for a one bedroom in any metropolitan area.
if you’re paying less than that, consider yourself lucky; unless you’re living in bfe.
$1200 USD barely gets you a studio in most major cities.
With 2br units going for more than $2000, $1200 barely gets you a decent room sharing with roommates.
Even in the cities where rent is cheaper, once you account for the lower incomes it is similarly unaffordable.
Depends where you are, there are a few places in the UK you can find that price. In London, that’s kinda even a good deal if it’s relatively central
NYC $2000/mo for a one bedroom is a pretty average deal.
At least you don’t need a car here
Even in Mexico City, unless you sacrifice a bit living in some tricky location.
