And a new Zumper report is shedding light on the Houston-area cities that are shelling out the most for their rent. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zumper.com\/rent-research\/houston-tx#rent-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> analyzed active listings from the previous month across all cities in the Houston metro. It tracked the most and least expensive rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments, and determines the cities with the fastest growing rents. Listings were aggregated by city to calculate median asking rents.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar Land had the highest rent prices in the Houston area in November, the report found. The median rent price for a single-bedroom apartment came out to $1,480 last month. That&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/houston.culturemap.com\/news\/real-estate\/sugar-land-houston-rent-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$30 higher<\/a> than the median asking rent for the same apartment in June.<\/p>\n<p>For two-bedroom units, median rent prices in Sugar Land rose 4.3 percent from October to $1,940.<\/p>\n<p>Pearland had the second-highest rents in the metro last month. Single-bedroom units had a median asking price of $1,370 per month, while two-bedroom units had a $1,700 price tag in November.<\/p>\n<p>Residents in both Pearland and Sugar Land are expected to spend <a href=\"https:\/\/houston.culturemap.com\/news\/city-life\/holiday-budgets-gifts-2025-wallethub\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than $3,100<\/a> on their holiday presents this year, a recent WalletHub study revealed, which means they may be keeping a closer eye on their budgets than other Houston-area residents.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Houston proper had the third-priciest asking rents in the entire metro area in November. Median asking rent for a one-bedroom unit totaled $1,210 in November, and two-bedroom units had a $1,480 price tag.<\/p>\n<p>These are the median rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments around Houston:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li>League City \u2013 $1,180 for one-bedroom units; $1,410 for two-bedroom units<\/li>\n<li>Spring \u2013 $1,170 for one-bedroom units; $1,530 for two-bedroom units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Houston-area cities with affordable rent compared to the statewide median<br \/><\/strong>Zumper found the statewide median rent for a one bedroom apartment came out to $1,126 last month.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville, a city 70 miles north of Houston, had the most affordable rent for a one-bedroom unit in the region, with median prices adding up to $880. The report also found that Huntsville&#8217;s single-bedroom rent costs are surprisingly 6 percent more expensive than they were a year ago. However, the median cost for a two-bedroom unit in Huntsville \u2013 $1,000 \u2013 is the same asking price as it was in November 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Six more Houston-area cities had more affordable single-bedroom rent prices than the statewide median:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li>Galveston \u2013 $1,110<\/li>\n<li>Conroe \u2013 $1,100<\/li>\n<li>Baytown \u2013 $1,000<\/li>\n<li>Lake Jackson \u2013 $920<\/li>\n<li>Pasadena \u2013 $910<\/li>\n<li>Texas City \u2013 $890<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After American shoppers spent $11.5 billion on Black Friday this year, it&#8217;s safe to say everyone is watching&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":430491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5130],"tags":[169119,4345,4329,8167,92402,358,3187],"class_list":{"0":"post-430490","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-housing-report","9":"tag-houston","10":"tag-real-estate","11":"tag-rent","12":"tag-rent-prices","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-tx"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115677085335844112","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
