What $2,000/Month Rented in Buena Park
Storage is one of this home's biggest advantages.
The residence includes a large walk-in closet with built-ins, an entry closet and additional built-in bedroom storage. For a one-bedroom condo, that amount of dedicated storage can make a meaningful difference in how the space functions day to day.
The kitchen had also been refreshed with new cabinetry and modern lighting, while the home features durable flooring through the kitchen and living room.
Additional updates include a rain shower head, bathroom shelving, barn door and newer bedroom carpeting. The main living area provides enough flexibility for both a sofa setup and either a dining table or desk.
Several Utilities Included in the Rent
The $2,000 monthly rent also covered several major utilities and services:
Heat
Air conditioning
Water
Cable
Internet
That matters when comparing rentals because two apartments with the same advertised monthly price may have significantly different total housing costs once utilities and building services are included.

How Does $2,000 Compare at 4343 N Clarendon?
This lease provides a particularly useful reference point because current rental inventory in the same building remains close to this range.
Recent building data shows one-bedroom asking rents around $1,900 to $2,000, while another available 750-square-foot one-bedroom has been marketed around $2,250/month.
At $2,000/month, this renter secured an updated one-bedroom with extensive closet space, several utilities included and access to a substantial amenity package near the lakefront.
When comparing Buena Park rentals, renters should consider more than base rent. Included utilities, storage, building amenities, parking costs, updates and proximity to the lake can materially change the value of one apartment compared with another.
