Group houses and english basements are great options if you are trying to stay on budget. You will probably save more in a group house situation, but some people need their privacy. If you are willing to commit a few extra hundred bucks to your rent, you may be able to land an english basement. Don’t be afraid of a basic apartment. With a little extra lighting and the right decor, you can make your little place shine. Shout out to the little studio in Georgetown– definitely has potential. Happy hunting.
