Report Reveals Where to Get More Apartment Space for the Buck

As more renters have switched to remote work since the onset of the pandemic, apartment space is now prioritized over location, according to a new report from RentCafe, the online apartment listing service.

The report ranked the 100 largest U.S. cities by the size of apartments renting for $1,500. Not surprisingly, the study found coastal cities charge a premium for square footage, while the South and Midwest feature larger apartments for renters with smaller budgets.

The report also highlights that in most metro areas, the surrounding suburban markets featured larger apartments than central urban areas. According to Andrea Neculae at RentCafe, “Aurora, , is the only urban area to match its suburban counterparts when it comes to apartment space, taking first place in its metro with 792 square feet.” Meanwhile, in the Atlanta suburb, Clarkson, Georgia, $1,500 affords renters 1,413 sq. ft. of apartment space, while in Atlanta 821 sq. ft. apartments go for the same amount.

Additional key findings:

The top three cities where $1,500 affords renters larger apartments are:

  • Wichita, Kansas
    • Apartment space for $1,500: 1,597 Sq. Ft.
