Looking for an apartment

[paul253]

I am searching for a decent, 1 bedroom apartment in Milwaukee. My preferences are either the East side, Downtown, or Bay View. My price range is anywhere up to about $750. I am looking for something that includes parking, or has it available, dishwasher, and in unit laundry. I'd prefer a patio/balcony and central air, but they aren't deal breakers. If anyone knows of any specific buildings (I am not looking for websites where I can search apartments), please help me out.

I rent a 2 bedroom upper in Bayview with a backyard, garage, balcony and a basement for $665/month. There seems to be many others in the same price range in the Sunday edition of the Journal Sentinel.

Best advice, pick up the Sunday paper.

does the $750 include all utilities??? or just the base rent plus air, dishwasher and parking?

[sgtcluels]

Wow that's cheap. In Tosa you are looking at $850+

I recommend Craig's List too.

You can get cheap rents on the east side in decent places if air is not a big deal for you. Lots of older buildings along Prospect are great but never had air put in. Also check the Shepard's Express and MKE. Once saw a great deal on a 3 bdrm town house in the 3rd Ward -1100 a month including parking.

yeah air is not that big of a deal...i have it now, and its great, but a lot of the places i've been looking at don't have it. I'm more concerned with keeping the price for the apt and parking under $750

$750 for decent might be a stretch. I have a friend with a 2 bedroom in the East Side (Humboldt) with a balcony, 2 car garage and all laundry facilities, but it's $825. If you are interested, the listing is here.

If you call Ken, tell him Alan sent you. He might wiggle a little on the price.

you should definitely be able to find a duplex renting in that range for your price in bay view.

 

its really nice over here...especially when you sleep right through the 15 police cars that whizzed past your house at 2:30 in the morning! side note...i wish i could have seen the person try to swim away into lake michigan.

I pay $625 for rent, parking and ALL utilities in a nice place in Tosa... the only bill I have is cable/internet

 

There are other units that include the same things that are all under $700...

I'm going to resurrect this.

 

When we initially moved home, we took one of the first things we could find and ended up over our heads for a place in Franklin. Our lease is coming to and end and my parameters are the following. I need a 2br or 1BR w/ loft, somewhere near work (Miller Park). I'd prefer to stay west of 43rd St and South of the interstate. Utilties aren't a big deal, but the more paid the merrier. I'd like to stay below $750. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Menotti80]

how about $645 in Tosa, all utilities included in price?

 

EDIT: nevermind, the apartment i just mentioned is only a 1 bedroom and north of miller park...

[tristarscoop]

I highly recommend using Craigslist. You can narrow the search by the number of BR, the people that post really know what they're doing and give good information on location and usually pictures. We got the bottom of a duplex 2BR with off-street parking and a basement that way 2 years ago and we're still paying $650 a month.

So you are basically looking at West Milwaukee, the east side of West Allis or somewhere near Alverno college. I'm guessing you should have no trouble finding a place in your price range around there.

[lcbj68c]

Yes, but they have to be able to accept a small dog.

[endaround]

Not a problem West Allis is your friend. You can easily get an upper or lower for that price. You might be best just heading down Greenfield one day and just go up and down the cross streets writing down phone numbers.

If craigslist of good for just one thing it is finding apartments and NSA hookups - oops I guess that is two things.
