What’s the cheapest place to rent in South Florida? The answer might surprise you

 What’s South Florida’s best rental bargain?

According to a new survey from nationwide apartment rental listing company Zumper, that would be Homestead, where median rent for a one-bedroom apartment costs less than $1,000 per month ($990 to be exact). While that price is up 5.3% from February 2019, it’s down almost 5% from January 2020. A two-bedroom in Homestead is also a relative bargain, at $1,300 per month.

The March 2020 report looked at February rents in 30 cities in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Other relative bargains are Lauderhill ($1,110 per month for a one-bedroom), Miami Gardens ($1,130) and Tamarac ($1,190).

The pricest places to rent were Sunny Isle ($1,870 per month for a one-bedroom), the city of Miami ($1,800) and Coral Gables ($1,730).


Statewide, the median monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment was $1,204.

Year-over-year one-bedroom rents climbed the most in Sunny Isles and Lauderhill (10% each), followed by Pompano Beach and Lake Worth (9% each.)

Median rents dropped the most in Miami Gardens (-15%), Sunrise (-14%), Hollywood (-8%) and Miramar (-6%).

Rents also dropped in Pembroke Pines (-5%), Coral Gables (-4%), Plantation (-4%), Coconut Creek (-3%), Deerfield Beach (-2%), Weston (-1%) and Delray Beach (-1%).
