Zumper, an online rental marketplace platform, released its September National Rent Report, ranking Miami sixth among the most expensive U.S. cities for a one-bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n
Analyzing rental data from more than 1 million active listings, Zumper found that the median asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Miami was $2,500, down 2% from August and 1.6% from September 2025. Two-bedroom rents fell 3% from August to $3,230, a 3.9% decline from a year earlier. Miami was one of two markets in the top 10 to record an annual decline in both bedroom types in September.<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale also ranked among the top 20 for one-bedroom asking rents, placing 19th with a median of $1,850, down 6.1% from September 2025. Its two-bedroom median was $2,700, a 0.4% increase from a year earlier.<\/p>\n
Despite the annual decline in both bedroom types, Miami\u2019s median asking rents exceeded the national median of $1,518 for one-bedroom apartments and $1,903 for two-bedroom apartments. In the national rankings, New York ranked first for one-bedroom asking rent at $4,580, with San Francisco following closely behind at $4,400.<\/p>\n
Nationally, one- and two-bedroom rents were both positive year over year in September for the first time since 2025. Zumper said the national figure masks a market split by geography.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere really isn\u2019t one U.S. rental market right now,\u201d said Zumper CEO Shawn Mullahy. \u201cThe common denominator is supply: markets still absorbing the building boom are competing aggressively for renters, while markets that avoided it are tightening quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
