Learn moreA real, if modest, spread across rent trackers
Overall average rent is cited at $1,250/month by one tracker (as of June 2026), with a broader $1,174-$1,295 range across sources. This is a genuinely affordable rent level -- roughly 36% below the national average per one source's comparison, or about $700/month less than the national figure.
Rent by unit size shows a real cross-source disagreement
One tracker cites $900/month for a 1-bedroom and $1,249 for a 2-bedroom; a separate tracker instead cites $1,326 (1BR) and $1,573 (2BR) -- a meaningful gap between the two readings, disclosed here rather than averaged into one misleading midpoint.
The most affordable neighborhoods, per one source
One tracker names Belmont ($835/month average 1BR), Aberdeen ($875), and Mesa Junction ($895) as Pueblo's most affordable neighborhoods for renters -- real, specific figures rather than a citywide generalization, though always verify current listings directly.
How renting compares to owning
Given Pueblo's low median home price (roughly $265K-$284K, see housing-market) and current mortgage rates, the ownership-vs-renting math in Pueblo runs differently than in a high-price market -- monthly ownership costs on a Pueblo-priced home can run competitive with or below rent in some cases, worth running the numbers on a specific property.
Key takeaways
- Average rent in Pueblo clusters $1,174-$1,295/month across trackers -- genuinely affordable, roughly 36% below the national average per one comparison.
- Per-bedroom figures show a real, disclosed disagreement: $900 (1BR)/$1,249 (2BR) on one tracker versus $1,326 (1BR)/$1,573 (2BR) on another.
- One tracker names Belmont, Aberdeen, and Mesa Junction as Pueblo's most affordable rental neighborhoods, with 1BR averages as low as $835-$895/month.
- Pueblo's low median home price changes the typical rent-vs-own math relative to higher-cost Colorado markets -- run the numbers on a specific property rather than assuming renting is automatically cheaper.
