If you are just starting Second Life or if you're reading to settle down, a mainland rental makes sense because you will be free from overly-strict codes and also able to refund any time. You don't need a premium account, but if you did buy one and have the 512 m2 unused tier, you can donate to the group and get $250 L off the rent.

We have three communities for newbies where parcels are only $150/150 prims or $250/250 prims currently full, but watch the list of SEARCH PLACES using the term "Ravenglass Rentals" (check off 'search in mature regions') for an opening.

Meanwhile some other spaces left in residential communities:

Coney Island of the Mind Cottages
Teleport to Coney Island of the Mind!
150/150 prims, great bargain. Doors lock to your name, windows close.

Winnipeg
Homes for $350-$450/wk, 150-234 prims, use our prefabs or bring your own.

Solar Plaza
Great two-story modern townhouses with roof hatches locked to your name for easy fly-in as well as doors, and tintable windows. Each is on its own parcel so you can have music/TV.
$250/200 prims/wk.
