Rent.com just calculated a list of “The 100 cities with the highest rent in the U.S” The data was pulled from their  multifamily rental property inventory for one and two-bedroom apartments, between June 2022 and June 2021, excluding cities with populations of less than 50,000. Their study found that the cities with the highest rent prices are near major technology hubs.

And guess what? New Jersey appeared twice in the Top 10. Yay.
