An unbelievably ridiculous survey was posted on The Desert Sun today proclaiming Palm Desert to have the most expensive apartments in California:
Palm Desert tied with San Francisco in a monthly survey listing the most expensive California cities to rent a two-bedroom apartment.
Both cities had an average price of $4,500 in February, according to Apartment List, a San Francisco-based company that markets rentals. Palm Desert’s rate was up 4.8 percent from last year and San Francisco’s was up 2.7 percent.
Laguna Beach was the third most-expensive city with an average rental cost of $4,200. It was followed by Santa Monica, where the average price was $3,780.
A quick check to Apartments.com (which is linked on DesertSun.com) shows the highest apartment for rent in Palm Desert at $2,100 – with most being in the $900-$1,100 range.
I am assuming here that we all know that there is no way in hell that this survey is in any way accurate. But, I am hoping that somehow, someway it is Then, we can all sublet out Palm Desert apartments for a few grand extra a month. Then, with the extra cash quit our jobs!
