Kissimmee FL Rent by Bedroom: 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom Costs
Rent in Kissimmee rises with each bedroom, but the reported figures differ by source and by property type. This guide shows what each size costs and why the numbers do not match.
In this article
When you search for kissimmee fl rent by bedroom, the first figure you find is often a citywide median, not the price for your unit size. Realtor.com reports a median rent of $2,100 for Kissimmee apartments [1]. That number mixes studios, one-bedroom units and larger homes, so it cannot tell you what one bedroom count costs.

Bedroom figures are published separately, so compare like with like. Apartment List reports averages for one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments [2], and Apartments.com publishes its own one-bedroom average [3]. Pick your bedroom count first, then use only figures for that count and that property type. Setting a citywide median beside a one-bedroom average will make your budget look wrong.
Every figure also has a date and a scope. Note which site reported it, when, and whether it covers apartments only, houses only or all rentals. A number without those details cannot be compared fairly with another one.
What does a one-bedroom apartment cost in Kissimmee?
A one-bedroom apartment in Kissimmee is listed at about $1,519 a month on one apartment site [3]. That same site describes the average unit as 749 square feet, so you have a size to compare against that price [3].

A higher average from a second site
A second apartment listing site reports a higher figure, a one-bedroom average of $1,734 or more [2]. The two sites do not agree, so the same unit type can show different averages depending on which listings each site counts. Read both numbers side by side rather than relying on one.
Individual one-bedroom houses
Single-family houses follow a different pattern. A Redfin page lists a one-bedroom house at $1,300 a month [4]. The same page lists a unit at 1668 Barberry Dr Unit B for $799 a month [4].
A spread that wide for one bedroom count means a single average can hide a lot. A cheaper listing may be smaller, older, or farther from the places you need, so look at the size, condition, and location before you decide the lower price is a good deal.
How to use these figures
If you want a house, expect prices to vary widely. Save several one-bedroom listings, note what each includes, and compare them before you settle on a budget.
For a smaller unit, the lower figure is the more useful starting point. For a unit with more space or a better location, plan on the higher end of the range.
How much more does a two-bedroom rental cost?
A two-bedroom apartment in Kissimmee is reported at $2,075 a month or more, so that is the figure to plan around if you need two bedrooms. [2] This is an average for apartments, which means some two-bedroom units rent for less and many rent for more. Learn more in Kissimmee FL Rental Move-In Costs: Deposits, Rent and Fees.
The same source reports a one-bedroom apartment at $1,734 or more a month. [2] The gap between the two averages is $341 a month, so moving up to a two-bedroom adds about that much to your rent. [2]
What the extra bedroom costs you
Imagine you pay $1,734 now for a one-bedroom and are weighing a two-bedroom at the $2,075 average. Your rent would rise by $341 every month, before any change in utilities or other costs. [2]
A second bedroom is often the choice for a couple who works from home or a family that needs a separate room for a child. Decide whether that extra room is worth the monthly difference to your household.
Two-bedroom houses
No separate average is available for two-bedroom houses, so the apartment average is the closest comparison you can make. A two-bedroom house may rent for more or less than that figure, so treat it as a different kind of rental.
Compare like with like
When you read listings, match the property type. Compare a two-bedroom apartment with the $2,075 average and a one-bedroom apartment with the $1,734 average. [2] That keeps the gap between bedroom counts clear, and that gap is what matters most for your monthly budget.
What do three- to five-bedroom houses rent for?
Each figure comes from a different property type, so compare only the type you plan to rent.
Apartments with three or more bedrooms
Single-family houses with four to five bedrooms
Private-owner rentals with three to five bedrooms
That makes owner rentals a useful middle option if you want a larger home than an apartment offers.
How to use these three figures
Start with the property type you want, then compare only listings of that type.
For a family that needs three bedrooms at the lowest rent, the apartment figure is the place to start. If you need four bedrooms, the house range and owner rentals are the figures that match your search.
Why do the bedroom figures differ between rental sites?
Rental sites give different Kissimmee figures because they cover different property types, report different measures, and count listings on different days. Check each of those three things before you compare two numbers.
Site | Property types covered | Listings shown |
|---|---|---|
Zillow | Single-family rentals only | 745 listings |
The main difference is scope. An apartment count, an all-homes count and a single-family count each describe a different part of the market, so they answer different questions even when they cover the same city.
Some sites cover all homes, others only apartments
Some sites report all homes, others apartments only, and others single-family homes. Zillow covers single-family rentals, with 745 listings [5].
A house rent figure from Zillow will not match an apartment figure from Realtor.com, even for the same bedroom count. Look at the property type on the site before you read the number.
Medians and averages are not the same measure
Medians and averages are not the same measure, so check which one a site reports. Homes.com reports a median rent of $2,000 per month for all homes [6]. A median is the middle value of the listings, so a few very expensive rentals do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
Two sites can show a median and an average for the same city and still disagree. Neither number is wrong. They measure different things.
Listing counts are a daily snapshot
Listing counts change day to day as landlords add and remove units. Realtor.com currently shows 1,802 active apartment listings [1]. Next week that count may be higher or lower, so treat it as the market on one day, not a fixed price.
When you compare bedroom figures, match the property type and the measure first. A two-bedroom apartment median and a two-bedroom house average answer different questions, even when both appear under the same Kissimmee heading.
What should you budget for your bedroom size?
The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Kissimmee is $1,519 a month, so plan on at least that much. [3]
Next, compare current listings for the bedroom count you need, and keep the property type the same. Compare two-bedroom apartments with other two-bedroom apartments, not with single-family houses. Each source reports its figures for its own dates and scope, so these numbers may have changed since they were published.
