Zumper, a rental listing service, reported April 28 that Boise remains the nation’s 39th most expensive rental market. The company said one- and two-bedroom apartments sell at medians of $1,210 and $1, 420, respectively.

Zumper bases its prices on its own and some other sources’ current listings. It excludes rentals already occupied and not on the market.
Some other rental services include not-on-market rentals, and that results in lower median prices. As the Statesman reported April 28, one such service, ApartmentList, reported that Boise rent just jumped 5.2% month-over-month and 22.7% year over year, the fastest increases among the nation’s largest 100 cities.
