Whether you seek a walkable urban setting, a quiet suburban enclave, or a picturesque rural retreat, Vermont’s diverse communities support a thriving rental scene that balances natural beauty with cultural amenities.
Rental pricing in Vermont reflects the variety of housing types available. Studio apartments and houses typically sit in the $1500s, offering affordable entry points for singles and students. One‑ and two‑bedroom units, whether in apartment complexes or stand‑alone homes, commonly fall within the mid‑$2000s, providing comfortable space for couples and small families.

Vermont’s strong sense of community, low crime rates, and emphasis on outdoor recreation continue to attract renters seeking both affordability and a lifestyle rooted in nature.
