Average apartment rent in Suwanee is cited across a real range: $1,798/month (down 4.38% YoY as of April 2026) by one source, $1,837/month by an August 2026 report, and $1,811/month by a third -- all clustering in a roughly $1,800/month band, down modestly (about 2% YoY) per the trend reading available. This is a tighter, more internally consistent spread than some other markets in this dataset show.
Rent by unit size
By unit size, one tracker cites roughly $1,470-$1,687/month for a studio or one-bedroom, $1,880/month for a two-bedroom (about 1,206 sq ft), and $2,277/month for a three-bedroom (about 1,480 sq ft) -- a useful breakdown for comparing against the average-rent figures above, which don't specify unit mix.
How that compares to owning
Given Suwanee's roughly $560K-$580K median home sale price (see housing-market) and current mortgage rates, renting a comparable unit remains, on most readings, a substantially lower monthly commitment than owning at Suwanee's price point -- though the gap has narrowed somewhat as rents ran roughly flat to slightly down through 2026 while home prices moved in mixed directions across snapshots.
Key takeaways
- Average apartment rent in Suwanee clusters around $1,800/month across three sources ($1,798, $1,811, $1,837), down roughly 2%-4.4% year over year depending on the specific reading -- a real but relatively tight spread compared to some other markets in this dataset.
- By unit size, rent is cited at roughly $1,470-$1,687 for a studio/1BR, $1,880 for a 2BR (~1,206 sq ft), and $2,277 for a 3BR (~1,480 sq ft) per month.
- Renting a comparable unit generally runs well below the monthly cost of owning at Suwanee's current median home price, though the exact gap depends on which rent figure and home-price snapshot are compared.
- The rental market has cooled modestly rather than continuing to climb through 2026, per the trend data available.
