The apartment listings we track in Maryland range from $595 to $5,235 per month, as of November 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.

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.
