Oklahoma rent guide
The Cheapest Cities to Rent in Oklahoma (June 2026)
Data as of Jun 9, 2026 · 206 rentals across 22 Oklahoma cities
Oklahoma is one of the most affordable rental markets in the country, and the range within it is narrow. Almost everything orbits the two metros, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, with the college towns (Norman for OU, Stillwater for OSU) and the smaller suburbs the cheapest. We track every apartment we can find and rank the cities below by their typical rent, straight from live listings.
The lowest typical rent right now is in Stillwater (about $845/mo), while Broken Arrow sits at the top ($1,094/mo), a small gap by national standards. The bedroom count you need takes it from there.

How we rank them
“Typical” is the median rent across everything we track in a city, so half the listings are cheaper and half pricier. “From” is the single cheapest unit listed right now. We include cities with at least five live listings and exclude single rooms and senior housing. Small-city medians can swing on a few listings, so the bigger markets are the most stable.
