San Jose California is well known as “Silicon Valley” and is the epicenter for many large technology companies like Cisco, Yahoo, Google, Adobe and many more. These companies attract skilled high tech workers from around the globe and often these workers need a place to stay. If you are coming from overseas or from another part of the US and you get transferred for work, you will need to find somewhere to sleep real quick and often a studio apartment is just what you’re looking for.
The Atrium Garden Studios in San Jose offer very affordable units, especially for this part of the country. Typically studios in San Jose were well over $1,000/month, but with the recession that started over a year and a half ago, rents now start at close to $750/month. The rooms at the Atrium are from 250 to 500 square feet and have one bathroom. The apartment building is located close to San Jose State University and Santa Clara – which are just north of the downtown area of San Jose. Enjoy air-conditioning, microware, toaster, coffee maker and plenty of other amenities in the fully furnished units.
The Pollard Plaza has studios for $757/month that are approxmiately 500 square feet with a bathroom. There are income restrictions on these units so check w/ the management team before you go out there and check them out to make sure you qualify. The outside landscaping is beautiful and you should utilize the swimming pool on those hot and sunny days that San Jose is so well known for.
San Jose is a great place to live and work, but make sure you secure housing before moving out there! It can be a tough road trying to find a place to live and it used to be even more expensive to try and find a place w/ low rent so you aren’t forking over too much of your hard earned money.

nice———we have a frog fo the kit.
400sq ft is pretty good for a single person its bigger than most r.v.s. amd doen’t roll. you can do alot with the space if you know how,
There is no standard percentage. Some floor plans are much more efficient than others- lack hallways and such. Besides there are a lot of people that want a huge part of the square footage in the kitchen and bath.
You want a smaller breed that is low-energy. And one that doesn't bark a lot (because that will annoy your neighbors). A lot of apartments have weight or size restrictions on dogs too, so I'd find out what the rules are at the apartment before getting one.
Some smallish low energy breeds are:
French Bulldogs
English Bulldogs
Italian Greyhounds
Other breeds that could be good are:
Pugs (not high energy and don't bark a lot)
Some types of Spaniels like Cocker Spaniels or Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Chihuahua
Papillion
Whippet
Just stay away from any type of "terrier" dog since they bark a whole lot. That includes Beagles.
Animal Planet has a "dog breed selector" tool where you can answer questions and they'll tell you what type of dog is best for you:

Rent in most big cities can be really expensive. If you're single, then a studio is the cheapest way to live.
Yes, it's uncomfortable, but that's the price to pay for the luxury of living in the city.
I live in Toronto, and rents are sky-high in the downtown area. I live in a small one-bedroom. It's really small (not a studio though), but I wouldn't give up the size if it meant giving up my location. I love my neighborhood, and if I had to choose a studio to be able to live here I would.
If your only fear is the dark, you can keep nightlights going, and you'd be fine. But if your fear is really more about being alone, then I'd strongly suggest you get an apartment share.
Why torture yourself? You can get your own room in an apartment shared with other people, have a bit of privacy, but still have the security of the others being around you.
That is a GREAT deal, in Sydney a $240 studio gets you an old run down studio with a shitty 1940’s kitchen and old floorboards. One like yours here would be round $300, and that would be in a hald decent area
Yo! UR crib is nIcE!
$80 electric
$20 water if it is not included in rent
$25 telephone
$25 cable tv
$10 dial-up internet; $40 cable internet
$200 groceries (after you have done your initial shopping trip to get bags of sugar and flour and rice)
$20 gas if your apartment offers gas utilities
$50 gas for your car
no roommate. it would be a bit arkward to share such a small space with a friend.
Ikea.
It depends on how much you eat and what you buy. What about utilities or a phone? Be sure you allow yourself enough money to live on and go places and buy those things you want and need. Good luck. . .And remember prices are going up and going up fast.
From experience:
-Rent is cheaper
-Furnishing is easier
-Utilities are less
BUT, you must be willing to live in a space that requires absolute organization. With all living space combined, you need to maintain order..i.e. don't leave out leftover pizza all night, or it will be an unpleasant wakeup call!
wow, very nice!!
were i live you can get one for $160-$205 i don’t pay for heat either since i have a space heater. so utilities is just water and electricity. so about an extra $60 a month
nice man. u livin that GOOOOD life. lol
That looks amazin. im trying to get a studio here in Sydney but there really pricey and tiny, how much do you per week there in the states?
Thanks! I’ll message you.
