The national median price for a one-bedroom apartment was $1,216 as of June 2019 — a 1.5% increase year to date.
Business Insider's Hillary Hoffower previously reported that rents are so high in major cities that some residents are resorting to living in the exurbs — the area beyond the suburbs — and living in vehicles to work around the cost of housing.
