Under $1000 in Worcester will get you a 100-300sqft studio with no washer/dryer hookups. I see a couple in the $800-$900/mo range. Basically a small hotel room looking place.

If bedrooms are a must, then it simply doesn't exist without applying to section 8 or other welfare program. Craigslist/facebook marketplace might have some people that are willing to negotiate rent prices down to what you need.

Alternatively, you could consider renting just a bedroom. it's basically a "roommate" situation but may satisfy your needs.

EDIT: Did some more digging. Eastview apartments have 1b1b 500sqft units for right at $1000/mo

Yikes. Didn't know that. Never had to use it, I just know some apartment complex have reduced ratees for section 8 tenants.

I looked into Eastview last year and they said they were full, I’m not even sure if the prices on their website are updated. Most of the new places being built are out of reach if you make much less than 6 figures. Under 1k for anything is rare, unless you know someone there’s probably going to be 20 people showing up just for the open house.
