Apartment dwellers: what’s your power usage for 1000 sq ft?

I’m going to be leasing a new apartment in the coming days and I haven’t lived in an apartment here since 2012. Since I actually know how to use power to choose unlike most people posting power questions, the only thing I don’t know is how many kwh to expect to burn in a ~950 sq ft, 2/2 apartment. Single level floor plan with central AC (obviously). I don’t need or want to cool it down to igloo level either.

The past few years I had a house with single pane windows and older AC units, and was about 2k sq ft, so it’s really useless as a comparison.

Any data would be helpful. I plan to ask the apt complex leasing people, but I am expecting them to just shrug their shoulders and not give me a useful answer.
