No rent is not expensive in Orlando. Rent is typically fairly inexpensive in much of the city. If you are willing to use public transportation you can live rather inexpensively in Orlando. Orlando residents also save money many different ways. Namely the no state income tax and low cost of living in Orlando.
In the previous 30 days the median rent derived from the rent prices was $2,095. 532 rental properties were leased for 6 months or more. Below is the breakdown of the types of residences and their rental prices.
Condos-156 Rented For A Median Rent Price of $1,675.
Townhomes-89 Townhomes Rented With Median Rent Prices of $2,494
Single Family Homes-231 Rented With A Median Rental Prices of $2,800.
I use Median rent prices because the average price is to affected by extremely expensive Orlando neighborhoods. Most of the market though is actually more affordable Orlando neighborhoods.
The most expensive neighborhoods are going to be downtown, Dr Phillips and Lake Nona. Basically the closer you get to popular areas the more you will pay for rentals. Keep in mind that you can commute but many of the roads here are toll roads. Paying tolls, gas etcetera can help make up the costs of living in one of the more or most expensive neighborhoods.
A one bedroom apartment is actually a decent option. Apartments also come with amenities and on average they can be fairly nice. If you cannot find one in Orlando try Winter Garden FL. There are some relatively new apartments there close to the city attractions. See you soon in one of the greater Orlando neighborhoods.
