Here are this year’s most competitive rental markets
- SUMMARY
Miami is currently the most competitive city for renters in the United States.
The Midwest is considered the most sought-after region for renting due to its affordability and popularity among younger crowds, though there is a dwindling supply of apartments available.
Despite rising rental costs, demand remains high due to the limited number of homes available for purchase and rising mortgage rates.
The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment nationally is $1,207, while the median rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,359.
