12,130 Apartments, Houses, & Townhomes for 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
