Grand Rapids? Unaffordable? Are you looking at condos downtown? Here's[0] a 3bd/2br with 1800 sq ft that admittedly is outside of downtown a bit, but is under $1000 a month. This condo [1] is more expensive, but would be totally affordable if 2 people were able to pay $1250 in rent by themselves. Both of these were on the first page of Trulia results when I searched for Grand Rapids.
