Just my 2 cents: Look for a small space on an upper floor of a 2 story if you're worried about soundproofing. The sound rises so you're less likely to bother someone that way. Also, sometimes you can find small enough spaces that were old hair dressers or something like that and they will be bright with windows on a street front. We rent the bottom of a 2 story building and the top space is our landlord who is an accountant. He has insulated enough that it doesn't bother his office when we have both dancing and singing going on at the same time. Perhaps you can go together with a couple of other people if rent is a lot and have more than one discipline offered, ie.voice/piano/guitar . Since rent prices differ according to communities I could even imagine what to advise you to pay. Hope this helps a little.
