Affordable housing in Boone should not be a privilege
Searching for affordable housing in the High Country can be a never-ending struggle that often ends in complete exhaustion as you scour the classifieds to no avail. When you finally find an apartment or house within your price range, your high expectations quickly fade. The advertised unit is less than pristine and has fallen in disrepair. The walls haven’t received a fresh coat of paint in years and the floors sag in certain rooms. Some of those “bargain apartments” are also often riddled with roaches or have been affected by the growing bed bug epidemic. What gives? Affordable housing in Boone that isn’t in deplorable condition is now a rarity.
High rents compound housing shortage
There are also the exorbitant and high rents. Landlords can be notoriously unsympathetic opportunists. Something as small as a studio apartment can fetch a monthly rent of $1,000. Even smaller residential homes can quickly exceed the $2,000 mark and that doesn’t even include the first and last month’s rent, as well as the security deposit. Many Americans are already living paycheck to paycheck. How can we possibly find affordable accommodations without taking out a small loan? When searching for a new home, you also have to take the local student population into consideration. More and more students are choosing to live off-campus, and that has had a profound impact on pricing as a result in the local housing market. Unfortunately, students and locals find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of competing with each other for the limited slots of available affordable housing available in Boone. In larger apartment complexes, families can find themselves living side-by-side well-meaning, yet noisy college students. Growing families require peace of mind as well as peace and quiet in the evening hours.
Planning your next move with ease and convenience
The local housing epidemic has reached absurd proportions in previous years when desperate students and their families agreed to sign leases for apartments that had to be completed. As you could imagine, several of these units weren’t finished in time and some students were forced to live in a hotel until completion. It seems as if all humanity has gone by the wayside in favor of the almighty dollar. Fortunately, not all rental agencies are out to make a quick buck. Sofield Properties has a bevy of affordable housing options for families of all sizes, as well as students striking out on their own for the first time.
