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 Utah?
Across the state the median one-bedroom is about $1,336/mo, studios run ~$1,205, two-beds ~$1,400 and three-beds ~$1,848. We use the median, not the mean, so a few luxury buildings do not skew it. Nearly all of Utah's rentals sit along the Wasatch Front, and the spread between the cheap suburbs and the pricey new developments is wide, so check the per-city table for your exact market.
How much is rent in Salt Lake City versus Provo?
They are closer than you might expect. Salt Lake City sits in the middle of the pack statewide, and Provo (home to BYU and next to UVU in Orem) runs a touch lower thanks to a large student rental market. The real gap is between those and the affluent south-valley suburbs (Draper, Herriman), which cost noticeably more.
Why is Utah rent rising so fast?
Strong job growth (especially the Silicon Slopes tech corridor around Lehi) and one of the fastest-growing populations in the country have pushed Wasatch Front rents up steadily. The cheapest options are the older suburbs and the college towns; the new south-valley construction sits at the top of the range.
