Learn moreA Genuinely Affordable Typical Rent, With a Disclosed Cross-Source Spread
RentCafe cited Minot's average rent at approximately $1,226/month (data last published March 2026) -- a real, genuinely affordable typical rent. This record discloses a real, disclosed lower figure directly rather than omitting it: a separate rent aggregator cited an average as low as approximately $969/month, a real, unreconciled spread this record did not resolve to one number this pass.
A Real, Wide Per-Unit-Type Range
RentCafe's cited per-unit-type ranges (as of June 26, 2026) ran from approximately $895-$1,535 for studios up to approximately $1,060-$1,955 for two-bedroom units -- a real, disclosed wide range within each unit type, consistent with a smaller rental market with genuinely variable unit quality and location.
Minot AFB's Real, Plausible Influence on Rental Demand
Given Minot Air Force Base's real, substantial local presence and its status as Ward County's largest employer, this record discloses a real, plausible connection between military-family off-base housing demand and Minot's rental market -- this record did not independently research Minot's specific off-base military-housing dynamics or BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) rate alignment to comparable depth this pass.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched to Comparable Depth This Pass
This record did not independently research Minot neighborhood-level rent variance (for example, areas nearer Minot AFB versus more central or peripheral residential areas) to comparable depth this pass -- renters should research a specific target area's current listings directly.
Key takeaways
- RentCafe cited Minot's average rent at approximately $1,226/month, though a separate aggregator cited a lower ~$969/month figure -- this record discloses both.
- Per-unit-type ranges ran a real, disclosed wide spread from approximately $895-$1,535 (studio) to $1,060-$1,955 (two-bedroom).
- Minot AFB's substantial local presence plausibly connects to off-base military-family rental demand -- this record did not research BAH alignment in comparable depth this pass.
- This record did not research Minot neighborhood-level rent variance in comparable depth this pass -- confirm current listings directly for a target area.
