A new study suggests that renting in this Boston ZIP code will cost you more than any other place in the county.
Boston’s 02215 ZIP code is the priciest in the nation, according to Apartment Guide, which calculated the average rent of its listings and those at Rent.com for October. The average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in that ZIP code is $5,035, the company said. The 02215 area is part of the Back Bay and Fenway-Kenmore neighborhoods. The 02127 ZIP code, which is in South Boston, came in as the 18th most expensive place in the country for renters, with a monthly average of $2,733. (In June, Move.org estimated the average rent for a one-bedroom in Boston — not just within a particular ZIP code — was $2,420.) A spokesperson from Apartment Guide said the average cost of a one-bedroom in Boston jumped 11 percent from last year.
The top 10 ZIP codes on the list were in Philadelphia; Playa Vista, Calif.; San Jose; Miami; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Jersey City; Los Angeles; Bellevue, Wash.; and Marina Del Rey, Calif.
