Concord’s rental market continues to shift as inventory and pricing vary by unit size. While studios remain scarce, two bedroom units offer the widest range of choices. Here’s a look at what renters can expect right now in terms of cost, space, and selection.
Studio Apartments
There are approximately four active studio listings in Concord. The limited selection leaves renters with very few options in this category.
The average rent for a studio is about $1,400 per month. The average size is roughly 430 square feet. For many renters, the small price difference between a studio and a one bedroom may justify upgrading for additional space and flexibility.
Studios are best suited for one individual, possibly with a small pet if allowed. The compact layout limits storage, hosting, and roommate arrangements.
One Bedroom Apartments
There are approximately 40 active one bedroom listings.
The average rent is about $1,570 per month. Average square footage is around 610 square feet, although many listings do not disclose exact size and layouts vary significantly.
Many one bedroom units are located in multi-family homes rather than large apartment complexes. This can offer a quieter setting with fewer shared common areas. Some listings include shared laundry, while others offer in-unit washer and dryer setups.
This size works well for one person or a couple without children. The additional space allows for hosting, more storage, and added privacy compared to a studio.
Many current listings appear well maintained, with updated flooring and finishes. Some are located in older Victorian style multi-family homes, which remain common throughout Concord.
Two Bedroom Apartments
Two bedroom units represent the largest share of current inventory, with approximately 75 active listings.
The average rent is about $1,990 per month. The average size is around 870 square feet. Options include traditional apartment buildings, condo developments, duplexes, and multi-family homes. The wider selection gives renters more flexibility in choosing neighborhoods and building types.
Units along Loudon Road tend to be more affordable than those closer to Main Street or the center of downtown.
Two bedroom apartments are well suited for two roommates or families with one or two children. In some cases, they may accommodate up to four occupants depending on layout and lease terms.
Important Considerations When Renting
Pet policies vary widely. Renters with pets should filter listings specifically for “pet friendly” units before scheduling tours.
Before applying, confirm:
Which utilities are included, such as water, heat, electricity, or internet.
Income requirements. Many landlords require tenants to earn three times the monthly rent. For example, a $1,500 apartment may require roughly $4,500 in monthly income.
Lease length. One year is standard.
Move-in date compatibility with your current lease.
New listings appear frequently and many units rent quickly. Filtering by newest listings and checking regularly can improve your chances.
It is strongly recommended to tour an apartment before submitting an application. Application fees often cost $30 or more per applicant. Touring first helps avoid unnecessary fees and limits the number of times you share sensitive personal information for background checks.
