How much are utilities for a 1 bedroom apartment in Atlanta? -

Could someone give me an estimate? Like I said, it s a 1 bedroom apartment, 750 sq feet, heat: electric, central a/c, range: electric, utilities included: gas. And again, it s in Atlanta. It will also just be me and I will be gone about 90% of the time. Also, what is the average cost of a landline phone and basic cable? High speed internet is available, so I just need to know about basic cable.I was thinking the cost might be about $135 a month.

I live in a 770 sq. foot apartment in Atlanta, my electric is about $25/month, gas is (it varies) about $35-$75/month, I have Comcast cable its about $77/month, my landline phone is $27/month. My water/trash is included in my rent at my apartment complex.

I suggest calling the gas and electric companies to determine the history of the apartment you re renting. They ll be able to tell you what the prior tenant paid. You might want to call whatever company services your area (ie. Comcast) to get bundled phone, computer, cable service -- which would save you money.

I would estimate more than $135 a month.Electric - $70Gas - $30Water/Sewer/Trash - $20Phone and Cable - $50Internet - $40So, about $210
