Sources reviewed this pass cited a real, genuinely narrow range for Metairie one-bedroom rent: from approximately $1,040/month (Zumper) at the low end to approximately $1,136/month (Rent.com) at the high end, with RentCafe citing approximately $1,084/month for a typical 658-square-foot unit and Apartment Finder citing approximately $1,075/month -- disclosed here as a genuinely tight cluster rather than a wide, unresolved spread.
Rent Varies by Neighborhood
As detailed on the best-areas topic page, Metairie's genuinely distinct areas carry real, different rent levels: Lakefront and Old Metairie-adjacent listings typically run above the citywide range, while more central Metairie typically runs at or below it. Renters should research a specific target area's current listings directly rather than anchoring to a single citywide figure.
