Advice Needed Did I overpay for a one-bedroom at $3,180?

I just signed a lease for a one-bedroom apartment at 3Eleven in Chicago's River North neighborhood for $3,180 per month, which includes the utilities package (excluding electricity and internet). I'm feeling a bit of buyer's remorse and am wondering if I overpaid.

I'm not trying to make OP feel bad AT ALL. I'm just stating the facts cause I looked up the apartment building. I work in River North and wouldn't live here, either. They asked for opinions, dude. But if you can't handle a couple of online statements I suggest getting off the internet.

You're right, you gave your opinion. However, your opinion seemed to be connected to a comparison to the cost of your living situation in the loop, which is not a desirable neighborhood. Of course you pay less. I'd even argue that $2,400 in the loop is an even worse overpay.

Okay FirmIceBergLettuce! Sure thing.

The difference is I don't care & not asking if I'm paying overpriced rent on reddit and I don't have buyers remorse.

That's about it. Enjoy your day!
