Which Houston ZIP codes offer the most — and least — space on a $1,700 rent budget

by Emily Marek

The average American spends roughly $1,700 on their monthly rent, according to a new report from RentCafe. But how far does that budget stretch across the nearly 200 ZIP codes that make up the Houston metropolitan area?

RentCafe analyzed apartment sizes in ZIP codes across the country to determine which areas give the typical renter the most bang for their buck. In Houston, renters can get the most apartment in Baytown (77520), where a $1,700 monthly budget garners 1,616 square feet of space.

Conversely, Houstonians get the least space in the downtown Houston zip code of 77010, where $1,700 only gets you 566 square feet — well below the national average of 944 square feet.

As seen in the map of Houston’s ZIP codes, renters are more likely to find smaller apartments on a $1,700 budget in the center of Houston, with space increasing further away from downtown and decreasing again near the outer limits of the metro area.
