The market-rate units, between 315 and 530 square feet, likely will offer lower rents than others because of the size. The plans call for 30 one-bedroom units and six studio apartments, with rents ranging from $1,500 to $1,700, according to documents submitted to the city.
"My understanding in the downtown is that there has been a cry for a lot more one-bedrooms," Cronin said.
I'd be impressed if they are capable of building the units with rents that low. Even in Manchester. There's condos/apartments in the area available right now that would be roughly in that range but they are all old.
$1500 is still a lot for one person though.
