I just gave a verbal agreement yesterday to rent a room in a house at "The Legends at Charleston"
$400/mo everything included,full access to the house, nice owner. You may be able to find another house in the same neighborhood.When i went to look i saw 3 police cars as residents on 1 street.To me thats a plus.You may be able to come up with equivalent whole house rental rate.The house appeared to be about 1600 sqft,i forgot to ask.If there is one person renting,there most likely are more.See link below to an aerial photo of the general neighborhood and also location on the map.Good luck.
