Is a studio or 1-bedroom apartment a better value in Reno?

In Reno, studios average $1,141/mo versus $1,377/mo for a 1-bedroom. For solo renters on a tight budget, compare both filters on Rentler before applying. If you work from home or spend significant time in your apartment, the extra separation of a larger unit may be worth the difference.

Are studio apartments in Reno pet-friendly?

Pet policies on studio apartments vary by landlord and building — there's no blanket rule. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow your search, then confirm breed, weight, and deposit requirements directly with the landlord before applying.

Can I find furnished studios in Reno, NV?

Furnished studios are available in Reno but represent a smaller share of total inventory compared to unfurnished units. Use Rentler's furnished filter to surface move-in-ready options. Furnished units are most common in newer construction buildings and in complexes that cater to corporate or short-term renters.

How much should I earn to rent a studio in Reno?

Most landlords in Reno require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a studio at Reno's current average of $1,141/mo, that means demonstrating roughly 2.5–3x that amount in gross income. If you're below that threshold, a co-signer, larger security deposit, or prepaid rent may be accepted by some landlords — always worth asking.

What to Know Before Renting a Studio in Reno, NV

Studio apartments are a smart move for solo renters, minimalists, and anyone looking to maximize their budget in Reno by cutting square footage they don't actually use. In most markets, a studio runs 20–35% cheaper than a comparable 1-bedroom in the same building — a meaningful difference when you're budgeting monthly. The tradeoff is that everything happens in one room, so layout matters more than it does in a larger unit. Before signing, check the kitchen size (a narrow galley kitchen in a small studio gets old fast), closet and storage space, and whether there's a dedicated sleeping area or alcove to create separation. In-unit laundry and a second-floor unit are both worth prioritizing if available in Reno — shared laundry in a studio building means frequent trips, and ground-floor studios in urban areas can feel less secure. Studios in Reno work best for people who spend more time out than in and treat their apartment as a home base rather than a living space.
