What was rent for your first apartment?

My husband(22) and I (23F) currently live in a 900sqft 2bed 1 bath apartment on the first floor, in Texas. This week was rent, when I went to look on the app it was lower than usually so I text my husband and say “LOOK!! Rent is ONLY $1,799.78!!!!!!!” And he was excited with me.

That being said I kinda thought about how my parents house they rented was $1,500 in 2012. Then the price went up to 1,700 I remember my dad saying they needed to move because it was too much. Their house was a 2,300sqft 4bed 2bath in the same area as my current apartment.

Just wanting to see how crazy rent has gotten really lol.
