This guide shows what each figure measures so you can budget with the right one. - Author: Housing Ledger Editorial - Tags: Greeley CO, rent, rental market, Colorado housing, #gce-89d53215 Zillow reports an average of $1,495 for all bedrooms and property types in Greeley [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/greeley-co/?ref=josetijam.com). Because that figure mixes every unit size, it is a broad gauge rather than a price for one apartment. It also helps to read [Average Rent in Eugene OR: Prices by Unit Size and Source](https://josetijam.com/average-rent-in-eugene-or/). Apartments.com reports $1,291 a month, and RentCafe reports $1,508 for an apartment, a 0.86% decrease from the prior year [\[2\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/greeley-co/?ref=josetijam.com)[\[3\]](https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/co/greeley/?ref=josetijam.com). The small drop means apartment rents have changed little over the past year. Apartment List shows a median of $1,409, roughly flat from the prior month [\[4\]](https://www.apartmentlist.com/co/greeley?ref=josetijam.com). Use that range to set a first budget, then compare the rent on the specific unit you want against it. ## Why do rent figures for Greeley differ by source? Greeley rent figures differ mainly because each source counts a different set of rentals, so averages and medians will not match. Once you know what a source counts, you can tell whether its number fits the home you want. The two are close, but they do not measure the same group. That window reaches back before the listing-based figures, so it differs in period as well as method. Unit size moves the price more than any other factor in the published data. Within one listing count, rent rises with each added bedroom, with a studio the lowest and a two-bedroom above a one-bedroom [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentfinder.com/Colorado/Greeley-Apartments?ref=josetijam.com). Use the table to match a figure to the unit type you plan to rent. If you need a two-bedroom, a citywide average that mixes all sizes will understate what you pay. Pick the row that matches your unit type first, then compare only the sources that count that same group. ![A person sits at a desk with a laptop open to several rental listing pages, comparing prices shown on the different screens.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=landlord%20reviewing%20rental%20listings%20on%20laptop%20at%20desk&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## What does rent cost for a studio, one bedroom or two bedrooms? A studio averages about $1,150 a month, and a one-bedroom about $1,302, in one listing aggregator's data [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentfinder.com/Colorado/Greeley-Apartments?ref=josetijam.com). Those units measure about 479 and 606 square feet, so the one-bedroom gives you a separate bedroom and more floor space for the difference [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentfinder.com/Colorado/Greeley-Apartments?ref=josetijam.com). USA Today's August 2026 report puts a one-bedroom at $1,079 and a two-bedroom at $1,390 [\[6\]](https://data.usatoday.com/apartment-rental-price-report/greeley-co/city-0832155/?ref=josetijam.com). Pick one source for each unit type and use it for every comparison, so you are not mixing methods. ### Two-bedroom prices A two-bedroom can reach $1,497 in one listing data set, where the units measure 872 square feet [\[5\]](https://www.apartmentfinder.com/Colorado/Greeley-Apartments?ref=josetijam.com). Another data set puts the two-bedroom average at $1,666 [\[7\]](https://www.rent.com/colorado/greeley-apartments/rent-trends?ref=josetijam.com). Say you want a second room for a home office or a guest. Plan for the higher end of the range if you need the space. ### Matching the figure to your search Start with the number of bedrooms you need, then read only the figures for that unit type. A studio figure does not tell you what a two-bedroom costs, and mixing them is a common way to end up with a budget that does not fit the listings you find. If you are choosing between a studio and a one-bedroom, compare the two figures from the same source. That keeps the price gap honest, since each source counts a different set of units. ![A bright, empty studio apartment with a single bed, small kitchenette, and a window letting in daylight across the room.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=empty%20studio%20apartment%20with%20bed%20and%20kitchenette%20near%20window&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## How much of your income would Greeley rent take? Rent would take roughly a third of a typical renting household's income in Greeley. That share is a useful gauge when you compare units, because it shows how much of your pay a lease would use up. ### The figures behind the estimate The Greeley, CO area's median rent was about $1,539 per month in 2020–2024 [\[8\]](https://usafacts.org/answers/how-much-do-households-spend-on-rent/metro-area/greeley-co/?ref=josetijam.com). A median is the midpoint: half of the rents in that period were higher and half were lower. It is less thrown off by a few very expensive or very cheap units than an average is. Typical monthly income among renting households was about $4,571 in the same period [\[8\]](https://usafacts.org/answers/how-much-do-households-spend-on-rent/metro-area/greeley-co/?ref=josetijam.com). This figure covers renters only, so it is a closer match for a renter's budget than a citywide income number. ### Turning it into a share of income Divide the rent by the income to get the share. Using the two figures above, $1,539 divided by $4,571 comes to about 0.34, or roughly a third. You can run the same check on any unit you are considering. Take the monthly rent and divide it by your own monthly income before taxes. If your number comes out well above a third, the unit will take a bigger bite of your pay than the typical renter's. In that case, look at a smaller unit or a lower-rent building before you commit. The share is a single gauge, not a rule. It does not account for utilities, fees, or savings goals, so add those to your budget separately. ## Are Greeley rents going up or down? Greeley rents are edging down over the past year, but only slightly. ### What each source reports RentCafe reports a 0.86% decrease from the prior year, dated September 30, 2026 [\[3\]](https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/co/greeley/?ref=josetijam.com). That is the smallest decline of the three, so it describes a market that has barely moved. Apartment List says prices are down 1.3% year over year [\[4\]](https://www.apartmentlist.com/co/greeley?ref=josetijam.com). This figure comes from a different set of listings than RentCafe's, so you should not average the two percentages together. Treat each one as its own reading. USA Today's August 2026 report shows a yearly change of -1.68% and a monthly change of 0.41% [\[6\]](https://data.usatoday.com/apartment-rental-price-report/greeley-co/city-0832155/?ref=josetijam.com). The yearly figure is the largest decline here, while the monthly figure is positive. That means rents rose slightly in the most recent month, even though they are lower than a year earlier. ### What this means for your search The split between yearly and monthly figures is the main thing to notice. A market can be lower over twelve months and still tick up in a single month, so a falling trend does not mean every unit will get cheaper. Look at the rent on the specific unit you want. For the next step, see [Average Rent in Ann Arbor MI: What the 2026 Figures Mean](https://josetijam.com/average-rent-in-ann-arbor-mi/). These figures describe past readings and are not a forecast. If you expect rents to keep falling, you cannot count on that from these numbers alone. Check current listings before you sign a lease, because the rent on the unit in front of you is the number you will actually pay. ## Which Greeley rent figure should you use? Use the figure that matches the unit you plan to rent, not one overall average. Sources count different listings and unit mixes, so a citywide number can miss the price of the place you want. A studio, a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom each have their own figure, so use the one that fits your household. Across the citywide figures, rent sits roughly between $1,300 and $1,500 a month [\[2\]](https://www.apartments.com/rent-market-trends/greeley-co/?ref=josetijam.com)[\[3\]](https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/co/greeley/?ref=josetijam.com). Treat that as a starting range for a budget, not a quoted price. Before you commit, confirm the rent on the listing itself, including what the landlord includes. A published average can differ from the rent on the unit you are considering. ## Sources 1.
