What is the average rent in Pennsylvania?

Pricing varies across cities, especially when comparing big metros and inland industrial areas. Philadelphia is the most expensive market, for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. On the other hand, the most affordable apartments in Pennsylvania are in Johnstown, with considerably lower prices for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.

Are there pet-friendly rentals in Pennsylvania?

With walking spaces, parks, and suburban neighborhoods, many Pennsylvania rentals allow pets. However, single-family properties typically have higher acceptance rates than units in the city center. Before paying any fees and applying to pet-friendly apartments, Pennsylvania renters should ask the landlord about size and breed restrictions. If you have a service animal or an emotional support animal (ESA), you may be exempt from pet-related rules and fees.

Is there senior housing available in Pennsylvania?

Many residents in Pennsylvania are retirees who prefer to rent senior-oriented communities. Senior housing offers assisted living and hands-off property upkeep, which is especially helpful in the winter months during snow season. Lancaster and Harrisburg have affordable options, but high demand creates long waitlists. Whether you're looking for independent living communities or income-restricted senior housing, Pennsylvania renters should sign up early and apply for multiple facilities at once.

Can I find furnished or short-term rentals in Pennsylvania?

Overall, flexible leases for designed apartments and Pennsylvania townhouse rentals are concentrated near college campuses, medical centers, and business districts. Allentown and State College are two of the primary hubs for short-term and furnished rentals. Pennsylvania renters can simplify their search with Rentler's 'furnished amenities' and 'lease length' filters. When planning an extended stay in rural areas, consider renting a car as public transit is limited.

Can I find luxury apartments in Pennsylvania?

The luxury market is mostly in urban districts and new suburban developments. From high-rises in Rittenhouse Square to riverfront units in the Strip District, high-end rentals often feature coworking spaces, upgraded finishes, and river views. Because these newly built properties are usually listed at high price points, Rentler's 'year built' filter and price sorting tool are great ways to find Pennsylvania's luxury inventory.

Renting in Pennsylvania

With two major markets, Pennsylvania rentals are spread out across regional metros, college towns, commuter corridors, and rural industrial regions. Many renters look for low-cost houses for rent in Pennsylvania while attending Penn State, the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, or Temple University. Additionally, Pennsylvania rentals are great for workers tied to the healthcare, finance, or tech industries due to local employment opportunities. Commuters also find affordable rentals in Pennsylvania compared to the higher-cost metros nearby, such as New York City and Washington, D.C.

As far as the price gap between markets goes, rents can fluctuate widely. The most expensive markets are usually in commuter towns connected to NYC, suburbs in the Main Line, and Pittsburgh's high-demand neighborhoods. Ready to browse available Pennsylvania properties?

How to Find Affordable Rentals in Pennsylvania

Generally, the most budget-friendly homes and Pennsylvania apartments are in rural inland markets that were former industrial hubs. For example, rentals in Johnstown, Altoona, and Williamsport have cheap apartments in Pennsylvania. These areas are great for remote and hybrid workers who are open to living farther from job centers and urban amenities. However, employees can get low rents in Erie without giving up proximity to local workplaces. By targeting low-cost areas, renters can spend around $500–$1,500/mo less on rent than in major metros.
