While owning a home is the American dream for many, there are plenty of people who simply can’t afford to purchase a house. But depending on where you live, renting may not necessarily be a good option either.
- 24/7 Wall Street just revealed a list of the Most Expensive Places to Rent in America, based on info from research firm Zumper.
- While rent in a lot of big cities did drop over the last year due to the pandemic, there are still some cities where renting is pretty steep.
- Topping the list as the most expensive place to rent is San Francisco, where the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $2,790, although that’s 15% less than the same month last year.
