Renting in Conroe
Conroe rent estimates vary by source: RentCafe's June 2026 data puts a one-bedroom around $1,159/month and a two-bedroom around $1,453, for a citywide average of $1,364, while Zumper cites a notably different mix -- a one-bedroom around $1,145 and a two-bedroom around $1,389, with overall average rent (Zumper's blended figure, which includes a small, higher-end sample of larger units) at $1,649 and down 3.58% year-over-year as of August 2026.

RentCafe (June 2026) cites a one-bedroom (733 sq ft) at $1,159/month and a two-bedroom (1,068 sq ft) at $1,453/month, with a citywide apartment average of $1,364, up 0.43% versus the prior year. Zumper (June-August 2026) cites a one-bedroom at $1,145/month and a two-bedroom at $1,389/month, broadly consistent with RentCafe's figures for those specific unit sizes, while its separate "average rent" figure of $1,649 reflects a blended sample that includes a small number of much larger, pricier listings and should not be read as a typical one- or two-bedroom cost.
A Real Year-Over-Year Decline, Not Just Source Noise
Zumper reports Conroe rent down 3.58% year-over-year as of August 2026 -- a genuine, disclosed softening trend consistent with the housing-market topic page's description of a market absorbing significant new-construction supply, though a specific, independently confirmed driver (new apartment supply specifically, versus broader demand shifts) was not confirmed from a primary source this pass.
How Conroe Compares
Conroe's one- and two-bedroom rents run well below the roughly $1,940/month national median cited in comparable Houston-area rental research -- a genuine affordability advantage for renters, consistent with the below-Texas-average cost-of-living reading from at least one source on the cost-of-living topic page.
Lease Terms and Tenant Law
Standard 12-month leases are the norm in Conroe, as in most Texas markets. Texas landlord-tenant law (Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code) governs security deposit handling, notice periods, and eviction procedures statewide -- confirm current statutory specifics directly before relying on a general summary.
Key takeaways
- One-bedroom rent runs roughly $1,145-$1,159/month and two-bedroom roughly $1,389-$1,453/month across RentCafe and Zumper (mid-2026) -- broadly consistent between sources for those specific unit sizes.
- Zumper's separate blended "average rent" figure ($1,649) reflects a wider unit-size sample and shouldn't be read as a typical one- or two-bedroom cost.
- Zumper reports rent down 3.58% year-over-year as of August 2026 -- a real softening trend, plausibly tied to new-construction supply absorption described on the housing-market topic page, though not independently confirmed as the specific driver.
- Conroe rent runs well below national rental medians; 12-month leases are standard, governed statewide by Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code.
