2026 aggregator data cites $2,223/month for a studio, $2,495 for a 1-bedroom, and $3,559 for a 2-bedroom; condo-specific rentals separately ranged $2,150 (1-bedroom) to $4,800 (4-bedroom), with a median across all currently available listings of $3,200/month (roughly $29/sq ft).
Real, ongoing new-supply growth
Tysons' real, ongoing high-rise construction (Indigo at McLean Station, Exchange at Spring Hill, Flats at Tysons among 2026 projects) continues adding rental supply, even as developers increasingly balance new construction against renovating and enhancing existing buildings.
How renting compares to buying in Tysons specifically
Given the real, wide disagreement in Tysons' cited home-sale prices (see housing-market), renting offers a genuinely more predictable, more easily comparable monthly cost than buying for many prospective Tysons residents, at least until a property-type-specific purchase analysis is done.
