Average rent in Pennsylvania

The median asking rent in Pennsylvania is $1,875 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.

Against an average home value of $244,478, that rent level prices Pennsylvania at a 9.16% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Pennsylvania markets.
