Unfortunately for big towns or cities, rent is getting really screwy. I use to live in Newmarket and I've heard it's getting rough out there. Currently reside in a two bedroom for 1000 inclusive in Peterborough, so I'd say me and my wife got real lucky.
I live in Minneapolis and its getting bad here too. A two bedroom is about 1100 and up.
My fiancee and I are paying 1309 for ours, and were on the verge of being priced out of it.
