I know this is an unpopular view but...
As an upper middle class kid Mom and Dad kicked me down $20K as a down payment... best I could do was a fixer upper in the hood but it got the ball rolling.
I should add that that was back in the late seventies and I know $20K down won't get you $hit now but it would be a nice start on pretty good apartment. Also I was the youngest in the family and I think Mom and Dad were a little embarrassed that I had moved out and was living in a converted garage.
Anyway think about it, 20K (or whatever) might be a small price to pay to get your privacy back.
