U.S. apartment renters can expect to live in 729 square feet of space on average for a monthly rent of $1,500. Those in coastal job hubs will pay more for less space, while cities in Southeast and Southwest markets are likely to enjoy more living space on a more affordable budget, according to a study by RentCafe.com.
The report ranked 200 U.S. cities using apartment data from Yardi Matrix to determine where renters can get the most space on a monthly budget of $1,500.
In Manhattan, that number will fetch the least rental space – just 228 square feet. Brooklyn renters can expect to get 300 square feet of space and renters in Queens can get roughly 370 square feet. Moving up the East Coast, Boston offers renters about 315 square feet for $1,500 per month.
