Well, I would certainly take that deal if I were moving in with a friend. In Canada, that's relatively cheap for a two-bedroom, and if split both ways would be very affordable (the minimum wage here is higher, keep in mind, I get paid $13.46/hour). Electric can tally up quickly, keep in mind, but I wouldn't expect it to be any more than $20/month (again, Canadian prices here) on top of the rent. For a swimming pool, large rooms, etc. in Winnipeg in a decent neighbourhood could be up to $800/month plus utilities and shit. I would take the $545 plus electric.
But, I don't know how the prices are in the U.S., so perhaps I shouldn't be so quick to say "take it!"...
