Here is what the published figures show and how to read them. - Author: Housing Ledger Editorial - Tags: Aurora CO, rent, rental market, renters, Colorado housing, #gce-4ab5f03d Average rent in Aurora, CO runs from about $1,100 a month for a studio or one-bedroom to about $1,669 citywide, depending on the source. [\[1\]](https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com)[\[2\]](https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/co/aurora/?ref=josetijam.com) That range is the starting point for most budgets. The smaller units sit at the low end, and the citywide figure is higher because it blends in larger homes. To go further, see [Is Aurora, CO a Good Place to Live? Costs and Trade-Offs](https://josetijam.com/is-aurora-co-a-good-place-to-live/). Two-bedroom averages sit higher, near $1,795 to $1,850 per month. [\[3\]](https://www.steadily.com/blog/average-rent-aurora?ref=josetijam.com)[\[1\]](https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com) If you need two bedrooms, plan around that band rather than the citywide average. The number you see depends on three things: the source, the date and the bedroom count. A studio figure tells you little about a three-bedroom, and an older average may not match current listings. This article explains what each figure measures so you can pick the right one for your search. ## Why do rent averages for Aurora differ? Rent averages for Aurora differ because each source measures something different: unit size, geography, date and method. Once you line those up, most of the gaps disappear.

A studio and a two-bedroom should never be compared directly, because the bedroom count changes the average more than anything else. ### Dates and geography change the number Geography matters too. The ZIP code 80014 average is built from rental listings in that area, not from a count of the whole city [\[4\]](https://www.renthop.com/average-rent-in/80014-aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com). ### These are not the same measure Some sources publish a range, some a single average, and some a ZIP code figure. Compare each number only with others that use the same bedroom count, area and date. In short, the differences come from four things: bedroom count, geography, date and method. A studio average and a two-bedroom range can both be accurate for Aurora, because they describe different things. ![Older brick apartment building beside a newer glass-fronted complex on a tree-lined city street.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=older%20brick%20apartment%20beside%20newer%20glass%20complex%20on%20tree-lined%20street&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## What rent can you expect at different budgets? Studio and one-bedroom rents in Aurora each have two published averages, and the gap between them is large enough to change your budget. ### Studios One source puts the average studio at $1,219 per month [\[5\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/aurora-co/?ref=josetijam.com). Another reports $1,499 for a studio in 2026 [\[6\]](https://www.rent.com/colorado/aurora-apartments/rent-trends?ref=josetijam.com). Plan around the higher figure. ### One-bedrooms One source gives an average of $1,366 per month for a one-bedroom [\[5\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/aurora-co/?ref=josetijam.com). ### Four or more bedrooms Larger units reach $2,995 a month [\[1\]](https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com). That is more than double the studio averages and well above the one-bedroom figures. A family that needs four bedrooms should budget around this number rather than a citywide average, because it reflects the cost of the space you actually need. ### Using the ranges Treat each range as a starting point. Set your budget at the high end of the range you are targeting, so an unexpected rent increase does not push you over. ![Bright studio apartment with a compact kitchen and a bed by the window, shown as a modest rental option.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=studio%20apartment%20interior%20with%20compact%20kitchen%20and%20bed%20by%20window&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## Are rents in Aurora going up or down? The citywide average is slightly lower than a year earlier, so Aurora rents look flat to softer rather than climbing. The average apartment rent in Aurora is $1,669, a 2.26% decrease from $1,708 the year before [\[2\]](https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/co/aurora/?ref=josetijam.com). For a renter, that is a small move, not a sharp fall, and it suggests the market cooled a little over that year. ### What a one-year change can and cannot tell you A single year-over-year change compares two readings and nothing more. It does not predict where rents will go next. Think of it as one data point. If you are signing a 12-month lease, the change tells you the market was not climbing fast in that period. ### Older figures may not match today Older figures may not reflect current pricing. The Aurora figures dated August 2024 [\[3\]](https://www.steadily.com/blog/average-rent-aurora?ref=josetijam.com) describe the market at that time, not the market now. Only then does the comparison tell you something useful. If a listing does not show when its rent was quoted, ask the landlord for that date. ### How to use this trend Treat the trend as context, not as a forecast. A slight drop in the citywide average shows the market was not overheating, but your budget should rest on current listings for the bedroom count you need. If the average and a live listing disagree, the listing is the price you will actually pay. ## How do I use these numbers for my own search? If your search is in ZIP code 80014, plan for rents above the citywide figures. RentHop puts the average monthly rent for 80014 apartments at approximately $2,149 [\[4\]](https://www.renthop.com/average-rent-in/80014-aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com). That is above the citywide average from RentCafe [\[2\]](https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/co/aurora/?ref=josetijam.com), so a budget built on the citywide number could fall short in this ZIP code. ### Match the bedroom count first Averages mix every unit size together, so one number rarely fits your search. Decide how many bedrooms you need, then look only at listings with that count in 80014\. A household that needs two bedrooms should not compare its budget to a studio average. Compare at least five or six current listings with the same bedroom count. Note the monthly rent, which utilities are included, and whether parking or pet fees apply. Those extras change what a unit costs you each month. ### Use the most recent dated source Sources use different methods and publish on different dates. RentHop's 80014 figure comes from rental listings, and it reflects the listings counted when the page was produced [\[4\]](https://www.renthop.com/average-rent-in/80014-aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com). Before you rely on any average, look at the publication date and the method the page describes. When two sources disagree, start from the newer one and keep a margin in your budget. An older figure may not reflect what landlords are asking today. ### A simple way to set your number Take the listing rent for your bedroom count in 80014 and add the monthly extras, such as utilities, parking and pet rent. Set your maximum at that total, not at the lowest advertised price. If the total is more than you can comfortably afford, compare nearby ZIP codes the same way. ## What is the best rent figure to use? Use the average that matches your bedroom count and your ZIP code, and check its publication date before you set a budget. Averages for smaller units vary by source. One source puts studios and one-bedrooms around $1,100 a month [\[1\]](https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/aurora-co?ref=josetijam.com), while another puts a studio at $1,499 for 2026 [\[6\]](https://www.rent.com/colorado/aurora-apartments/rent-trends?ref=josetijam.com). The gap grows with unit size. Your next step is to pick the bedroom count you need, then compare current listings in your target ZIP code against the most recent dated average you can find. ## Sources 1.
