I will only be abile to afford a small single, maybe a one bedroom, But it would have to be around or under $450.oo.
And I don’t own a vehicle, So I would need to be near the city where there is transportation, stores, And hopefully near a community college, cause I need to start school again too.

You’re not going to be able to find anything for under $600 in the metro area, unless you get a roommate or rent a room in someone’s house.
there is no ghetto in oregon, buddy
Maybe in Methwaukie for $450.
NOT TO MANY GETTO’S IN OREGON
You should really look into finding a roommate on Craigslist. That will significantly cut down on your rent. If you want to live close in, try the Kerns, Buckman, Sullivan’s Gulch, Sellman or 30th blocks in the Laurelhurst area. They are all close in and the apartments in those areas are less pricey than downtown and the west side but they are still cool neighborhoods with great public transportation at your doorstep. I lived right on the edge of Laurelhurst (not the part with big fancy houses) but right next to it and I shared a three bedroom place for $1,050/mo. It was a nice place but very old in a good way. My share was only a $350/mo. All the neighborhoods I mentioned are safe and clean neighborhoods. The farther east you go or North Portland will be more run down but all in all, Portland doesn’t really have “ghettos.” And the west side is all nice. If you moved to Beaverton, there’s more traffic and having a car is better to get around.
You didn’t say what city or town. If you’re talking Portland, it can be fairly pricey. You could get a roommate and pay about 450 each, or you can find a very small studio for about that much in the suburbs. Check out Beaverton, Tigard, etc.
***To follow up on your Additional Details: Sure, it says $450 in many places, but that doesn’t mean there are actually apartments available for those prices. Many places just advertise at those “low low” prices to bring people in the door, then of course the “one” apartment in the whole complex at that price isn’t available, so they’ll say the next price range is $599, or whatever. Kind of dishonest how they do it, IMO, but that’s the way it is. Thought I’d inform you. Hope that helps.
PS, yes I live in Oregon.
Thats not going to happen, ghetto or not. 450 is what you can expect to pay to share a room with someone.
Look at spending a little more and maaaaybe you can find an apartment to rent.
Goodluck.
EDIT: Proofs in the pudding. Check the link. Almost every single one is for a room mate.http://portland.craigslist.org/search/hh…
