Learn moreRentCafe's Cited Average Rent
RentCafe cited Laramie's average rent across all apartment types at approximately $1,561/month per its 2026 data (up approximately 3.39% YoY, from $1,510) -- this record's primary, current-listing-based rent citation.
Per-Bedroom Pricing Runs in the Expected Direction
RentCafe's cited per-bedroom figures ran in the expected direction (larger units costing more): approximately $815 for a one-bedroom, $1,262 for a two-bedroom, and $1,687 for a three-bedroom. This record did not surface a studio-apartment figure for Laramie this pass -- a real, disclosed gap.
A Real, Disclosed, Differently-Sourced Lower Citation
A separate citation put Laramie's median rent notably lower, at approximately $933/month (approximately 29% below a $1,314 national comparison figure) -- likely reflecting a Census-ACS-style median-gross-rent methodology across all existing leases (including longer-tenured, below-market leases) rather than RentCafe's current-asking-rent-for-available-listings approach. This record discloses both directly rather than resolving the gap.
Neighborhood-Level Rent Variance Was Not Researched This Pass
This record did not independently research Laramie neighborhood-level rent variance (e.g., near-campus units versus outlying subdivisions) to comparable depth this pass -- a real, disclosed gap. Renters should research a specific target area's current listings directly.
