I moved out in August and thats what I did. You have to be aggressive with stuff on craiglist and in the paper though because it is hard to get a place. I assume you care more about skiing than nightlife. If that is the case look around Sandy (assuming you're going to ski the LCC). If you want your nightlife too look at the avenues, university area, trolley square, sugarhouse, etc...
I live near trolley square and have no regrets. 40 minutes to the tram at snowbird.
cool thanks for the infoQuote:

ahhh...philly....i lived in philly for 5 years while i went to college at temple university...are there nice areas???
i think the most i ever paid for a place was $500 a month.
let me see...life in philly.
my roomates car was stolen and then set on fire...we later got to go down to the police station and 'identify' it and i got to see all the other vehicles involved in crimes...most of them drive by shootings.
my car broken in to 4 different times...one time my debit card was stolen and my college tuition was spent on video games, mcdonalds and shoes.
i was held up at knife point on allegheny ave (my spelling is probably wrong) and my school bag was stolen.
my apartment was broken in to by a crack addict that lived down the street and $400 in cash was stolen from me.
my tires were slashed by some psycho on steroids who thought i stole 'his stash'...turns out he was so fucked up, he thought i was his ex-girlfriend...i'd never seen this guy before in my life.
moral of the story...philly is no place for a 110 pound white girl from a small town in upstate new york.
however, i toughed it out, graduated from college and promptly got the fuck out of there.

Temple just happens to sit in probably one of the worst areas of Philly, which is North Philly. I live in the suburbs, but grew up in a very bad neighborhood. Once im done school which will be 2-3 more years, im outta here.Quote:

Keep your garage door closed though....rash of robberies lately...i got my golf clubs stolen right out of the garage....bastids...otherwise its a really nice neighborhood/town.....
Oh yeah and first snow this morning...nice to see snow covered peaks...

I pay about the same as that, so $950 will be more than enough. If you want somewhere close to downtown checkout Sugarhouse, but if you wanna be as close possible to the mtns. check out Sandy, Cottonwood Heights, or Midvale.Quote:

$950 a month can get you a studio in West Valley City. Good luck man...
Cost of living in SLC is soooo fucking high you'll only be able to afford cheerios and green jello all winter.
$7 cab rides downtown, walk/ bike to the best Irish pubs in town, walk to the toughshed and numerous killer coffee shops... twenty minute drive to the 7-11 at the base of the canyons. 10 minutes to the airport. Sugar Hood is the best location in SL"UT as far as I'm concerned and you can't feel the mormons. Sandy requires driving a car everywhere and there's nothing but strip malls and mormons in the 'burbs. thoughts?...
Buy yourself a house if you've got that kind of cash. there's a shit ton between 2 and 250
You are right, sugarhood is the best place in SLC. Does it really matter if you wake up 20 minutes early??? Because that is all it takes to drive from Sugarhouse to the base of LCC. Plus, who the fuck wants to live in suburban Moromonville? Yeah, mormon chicks are hot as hell, but they are screwed up in the head.
SLC is sick, so so sick. I'd move to Sandy too, I think some mags live in that area. Good luck, SLC needs more east coasters out there to keep it real.
950\month won't get you a house, but you could probably look into the 150-175 range for a townhouse\condo.
Sandy is fine if you aren't going to have a life outside of skiing. I moved to Sugarhouse from Cincinnati 2 years ago and I honestly don't miss a thing. All the bars worth going to are a short walk/drive/cab ride away. The people are relatively normal by back east standards. The one thing you will have to learn to live with is people driving like absolute shit heads. I have to have a 15 minute chill down everytime I drive home from work because it is so frustrating. Definately look in the Sugarhouse area though.
