The apartment listings we track in Louisiana range from $655 to $6,000 per month, as of October 2026. These are the lowest and highest listed prices. They are not a typical price for every apartment. The building, floor plan, and lease terms can affect the price.

There is not enough comparable history to report a reliable 30-day rent change for apartment listings in Louisiana. Missing dates or a change in the buildings we track can prevent a comparison. Missing history does not mean rents stayed flat.

We track 605 priced units at 74 apartment buildings in 11 cities, as of October 2026. This is not the total number of apartments in those buildings. A listing can change or become unavailable. Open the apartment details to check its latest status.

We have recorded rent data on 181 days from April 2026 through October 2026 for apartment listings in Louisiana. Some dates can be missing. The chart only shows recorded data. The current month includes the days recorded so far.

The average at the top of the page gives each matching apartment equal weight. The chart first averages recorded prices within each building, then compares buildings, so a building with more listings does not receive extra weight. Different dates, building counts, and listing mixes can produce different figures. The monthly table averages the recorded daily figures.

Yes. Your chosen area and bedroom count filter the asking rents, listing counts, rent ranges, and answers on this page. When you choose a bedroom count, the history chart uses recorded prices for matching apartments with a known identity. If those records are missing, we leave the chart empty rather than use prices for other bedroom types. Open an individual apartment to check its own price history.

We use the published total monthly rent when it is available and the base rent otherwise. Unknown fees are not zero. Utilities, parking, pet charges, deposits, and one-time costs can add to the amount you pay. Check the selected unit and lease terms for a complete quote.

A free-rent offer can reduce the effective cost over a lease without changing the listed monthly rent. Compare the same lease length and move-in date, then include required charges and the offer conditions. The market averages do not assume an unconfirmed discount.

These figures describe the priced apartment listings we track, not every rental home or every occupied apartment. Coverage and the mix of bedrooms, buildings, and locations can change. A lower market average does not prove that the same apartment received a price cut.

We schedule rent updates each day, but buildings can have different price-check dates. The month label does not mean we checked every price today. Open the building or apartment details for its latest price and availability.
