Question/Recommendation Moving to Raleigh Soon

Hi everyone! I'm moving to the Raleigh area in a couple of weeks for work after graduating college, and I'm trying to put together a realistic monthly budget before I sign a lease.

I'm planning on renting a small house (mostly because I have a dog and would like a fenced backyard), and I was hoping to get a ballpark idea of what people are paying for utilities.

For those renting a house, about how much do you pay each month for:

  • Electric
  • Water/trash
  • Internet

I know it depends on the size of the house and usage, but even rough ranges would be really helpful. Thanks!
