Affordability outside the city?

Where can you afford to rent in Seattle? Traditional wisdom would guide renters outside a city core towards more affordable suburban options. While this has been true for years, this many not stay true much longer. Over the past few months rents in suburban markets have actually increased faster than the rents in urban markets.

As reported by Multifamily Biz, across the US suburban rents rose 2.5% as opposed to rent in the urban area of cities raising at 2.3%. year over year.

While the rents might be increasing faster outside of a city, they are still typically substantially lower than rents inside the city core. You can still find great rent options both inside and outside Seattle, for now. Contact us if you need assistance in the rental market.
