How much are apartment utilities in eagle county area? (apartment complex, houses)

[harrison21]

I had another thread where I asked a lot of questions but since it was getting off the title topic I thought I should just make another one. I'm just trying to get all the info I can before looking for apartments in a couple days in Eagle County. About how much do utilities end up being in this area (for a one bedroom apartment, probably around 600 sq. ft). I assume most places will include water and trash (correct me if I'm wrong) but most do not include heat/ac and electric. One of my top choices does not include utilities, and the other includes only heat/ac and is about 100 dollars more per month. Basically, I'm trying to figure out which would be the better deal. In my Ohio apartment (which was quite a bit bigger) I paid about 150 for heat in the coldest months and 50 at the most for electricity. I saw another post where people were talking about heating 4,000 sq. ft houses for only 150 (which is crazy cheap compared to around here) but wasn't sure if that applied to all areas of the state. Thanks in advance!

The most realistic answer for a given apartment complex will be to ask the property managers for their historical data on these issues. Some places are more energy efficient than others, some are downright wasteful due to construction and systems installed.

If anybody is heating a 4,000 sq ft house in the area for only $150/mo during the winter, they're either in an active solar envelope house (very rare, but I've seen a few) with good daily sun exposure which is exceptionally energy tight, or they're heating the house with a woodstove and not including the firewood cost ....
