How we calculate this

Each month we take the monthly rent of every room published on RentDeck and compute the median — the middle value, not the average, so a handful of luxury units cannot drag the number up. We only publish a room-type breakdown when that slice has at least 3 rooms.

These are asking prices from listings, not the final rent agreed after negotiation.

Find a room at the market rate

Every RentDeck listing shows the monthly rent, deposit and full move-in cost up front — so you know the real number before you contact anyone.
