Average rent in Virginia

The median asking rent in Virginia is $2,500 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 $418,963, that rent level prices Virginia at a 7.11% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Virginia markets.
