Paula Wolf//March 29, 2022
Carlisle apartment dwellers get more room for their money than other urban renters in Pennsylvania, according to RentCafe.
The apartment search website and research blog reported that, for the state’s average rent of $1,500 in 36 cities, Carlisle offers the most space – 1,303 square feet.
Monroeville and Lebanon came in second and third, at 1,199 and 1,186 square feet, respectively.
Also making the top 10 were Harrisburg, 1,155 square feet; Lancaster, 1,119 square feet; and York, 1,106 square feet.
For $1,500 a month, renters in the state get the least amount of square feet in Philadelphia (679), Wynnewood (690) and King of Prussia (716).
The average for the state as a whole is 869 square feet, which is 4% more space for the same price than in the 100 most populous U.S. cities, RentCafe noted.
