Would you mind sharing your utility costs?

I am moving from Wauwatosa WI to Walker’s Point area / Bayview this summer! As I browse available units, I’m falling in love with quite a few spaces!

For context, I am a woman living solo without pets.

I’m curious what utilities you pay per month for your apartment, and how much they are? I’m moving from a pretty slummy building, and we don’t pay any utilities except electric which averages to like $60-$80 per month depending if I needed to use a space heater (because we get free gas but our heating SUCKS.) or if the wall AC was in use.

I just want to be sure I’m not blindsided when estimating the costs for gas/electricity/water. I will be getting a unit with a washer and dryer, and a dishwasher, so I’m worried the water bill will be crazy!

Thank you all in advance!
