After looking at some classified ads with photos on the internet, it seems that even a tiny apartment in Taipei runs about 15,000nt. Is that right? Seems expensive to me.

THat's what I pay. But I have a fairly spacious 3 bedroom. I am in Muzha, which, technically, is in Taipei City.

I paid 15,000 for a tiny two bedroom in Neihu, northeast Taipei and that was three years ago. Nice apartment though.

Does your double post really mean you paid 30,000 for a tiny 4 bedroom apartment in Neihu, north northeast (east) Taipei? And was it actually 6 years ago?

I am doubly sure it was nice.

You might want to try shopping around a bit more. I pay about 6700 for my tiny apartment on Yangming Mountain. A few years ago, a friend of mine paid 10K for a really shnazzy setup out near Muzha, so don't give up just yet.
