One breakdown cites a studio at $1,409, a 1-bedroom at $875, and a 2-bedroom at $1,055 -- the studio figure running notably higher than the 1-bedroom is a real, disclosed internal inconsistency in the source data, not resolved or smoothed over here (it may reflect a small sample size for studio units specifically, a genuine data quirk rather than a market reality). A separate, broader June 2026 citation put average rent at $1,295.
