Oregon rent guide
Average Rent in Oregon by City (July 2026)
Data as of Jun 9, 2026 · 622 rentals across 43 Oregon cities
A one-bedroom in Oregon rents for about $1,435 a month right now, the median across the 284 one-beds we’re tracking. We use the median on purpose: Portland and Bend’s towers pull the “average” up and tell you nothing about a normal lease in the Willamette Valley and southern Oregon, which run well below it.

How to read these numbers
“Typical” is the median across every unit we track in that city. The per-bedroom columns are the median for that floor plan, shown only once a city has at least three listed. We include cities with five or more live listings and leave out single rooms and senior housing. Everything refreshes when our data does (last updated Jun 9, 2026).
Frequently asked questions
What is the average rent in Oregon?
The median one-bedroom is about $1,435/mo right now; studios run ~$1,301, two-beds ~$1,595, and three-beds ~$2,120. We use the median, not the mean, so Portland and Bend's pricey towers don't skew it. The statewide number hides a wide split between Portland and Bend and the Willamette Valley and southern Oregon.
Is a studio cheaper than a 1-bedroom in Oregon?
A bit. The median studio runs about $134/mo under a one-bedroom; in many cities they overlap, so when they're within about $100 the one-bed usually wins.
How much more is a 2-bedroom than a 1-bedroom in Oregon?
About $160/mo more statewide. If splitting with a roommate is even a possibility, a two-bedroom usually beats renting a one-bed alone on a per-person basis.
