MIAMI-The city and Fort Lauderdale show a healthy apartment market, as they fared in the middle of the most and least expensive apartment housing cost, according to the newly released second quarter 2003 ACCRA Cost of Living Index.

The average rent cost in the city came out at $1,200 a month, while the average monthly rent in Fort Lauderdale was a little higher at $1,217 a month.
