Rental pricing in Vermont reflects the variety of housing types available. Studio apartments and houses typically sit in the $1500s, offering affordable entry points for singles and students. One‑ and two‑bedroom units, whether in apartment complexes or stand‑alone homes, commonly fall within the mid‑$2000s, providing comfortable space for couples and small families.
