Moving to Huntington Area (apartment, renting, utilities)

[mariak]

I am relocating to the Huntington area next month and I would like to get a good idea of what the utilities cost so I can work up a budget. Can anyone give me a rough idea of what I should expect to pay for phone, cable, internet, water, trash, electricity, and gas? Any information would be very helpful. If it helps, we are looking at renting a 900-1100 square foot apartment so it won't be a huge place.

Cost of some utilities of course depends on which packages you choose to have. For my situation, cable is about $54/month, phone and DSL is about $84/month, water usually runs about $45/month and trash collection for Huntington is about $18/month. For a 2,000 sq. foot house, electricity runs about $90/month and gas runs about $130/month. Of course the last 2 depend on usage and how well your apartment is weather proofed. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
