Thankfully no more rent. Mortgage is 610.-, Central AR. 3 br, 2 bath, 1 car garage. House is just over 30 years old and it's funny when you realize how the size of cars has changed over the years because squeezing my Pathfinder into it is almost impossible (Altima doesn't have that problem).
Just recently bought a condo in Escondido, Ca, (Northern San Diego), and I pay $1,648 a month. The condo is a little over 1,400 sq. ft., has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2 car garage. The $1,648 covers everything, taxes, insurance, HoA, etc...as well as a bullshit $210.00 PMI fee the bank adds onto FHA loans. I was renting a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 700 sq. ft. apt. and paying $1,350.00. I'm paying a little more now, but at least it's mine.
More than a little bit ripped off, but we're in a fantastic area and since we're never ever going to be able to afford the deposit for a mortgage, it's all we can really afford.
Oh and that's not including any utilities. So we have to pay gas, electricity, water, phone, internet and anything else I've forgotten.

3 room apartment. No rent, no mortgage because I own the damn place not a bank of whatever. I only pay for utilities like heat, electricity, water etc. about 200 euros total.
