I live about a 12 minutes drive from JPL, and drive past it several times per week, so hopefully I can help you answer some questions. Sorry I don't have any real ideas on cheap housing. What is your maximum rent per month you can pay?

Caltech offers housing for the Summer interns, no options for Spring/Fall. I suppose I should clarify: I'll be able to pay for the majority of the options available to me but as the rent is coming out of pocket the cheaper the better.

I'm currently paying about $500/mo in Florida. I've found rooms in a 4br house for about $600 or so per month. I really don't feel like dropping a grand a month on some of the apartments I've seen.
