Overview

According to ABODO Baton Rouge has seen an 8.6% rise in rents.

Other areas of the country are seeing large increases, with ABODO noting that rents jumped 8.6% in January in Baton Rouge, LA, which drove the average one-bedroom rent price up to $942, while rents in Reno, NV, increased 5.4% and San Antonio, TX, saw a 3.4% rise. ABODO added, however, that significant declines in places like El Paso, TX, Cincinnati and Buffalo, NY, offset the rent rises in other cities, resulting in a drop in the national average one-bedroom rent price of 1.35% in January.

Low taxes, high rents and a housing shortage make Baton Rouge an excellent market for rentals.
