A spokesperson from Highland Cabinetry commented on the study: “The rental market in the U.S. cities is constantly shifting, and this analysis shows how factors like affordability and location continue to drive rental trends. While cities like Newark and Cincinnati offer lower rent prices, places like New York and Los Angeles remain popular despite their high costs. These insights help us understand the broader housing landscape and highlight the importance of finding solutions that meet the growing demand for rental properties in both affordable and high-demand areas.”
