The rental company released a map that details median rent pricing for the top ten cities with the highest rent in the country, with Chicago&#8217;s overall median netting out at $1,730 for a one bedroom apartment, a 4.4% month-over-month decrease. Our last report in December 2016 noted the median price at $1,820.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/US-Infographic.0011.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14581 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/US-Infographic.0011-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"chicago rent prices\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/US-Infographic.0011.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/US-Infographic.0011-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/US-Infographic.0011-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/US-Infographic.0011-800x600.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The overall decrease is due to a drop in average price for both one and two bedroom units in Chicago, with two bedrooms netting out at a 5% month-over-month decrease to $2,280 for March&#8217;s median price.<\/p>\n<p>Despite both experiencing a month-over-month decrease in median price, San Francisco and New York City still rank as the first and second cities with the highest rent prices, with medians of $3,270 and $2,930 respectively.
