Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $1,200/month, with most listings over the past few months ranging roughly $800–$2,200 depending on size and proximity to campus or downtown.

Groceries and essentials are easy at County Market and nearby international markets, with the Land Connection farmers market in season. Parks such as West Side Park, Hessel Park, and the Boneyard Creek paths offer green space for picnics, jogs, and dog walks.
