Apartments.com cited an average rent of approximately $1,010/month (May 2025) -- well below the cited Nebraska statewide average of approximately $1,351.
A real, disclosed cross-source spread
A separate source (RentCafe) cited broader current listing-price ranges rather than single averages -- studios $625-$1,245, one-bedrooms $1,140-$1,400, two-bedrooms $1,365-$1,745 -- with the 1-bedroom range's low end running notably above the Apartments.com 1-bedroom average, a real inconsistency this record does not smooth over.
