What’s the Rent in Columbus Right Now?
Let’s talk numbers. According to RentCafe, the average rent in Columbus is $1,328 per month, and the average apartment size is 882 square feet. These numbers reflect a wide range of apartment types, from budget-friendly studios to spacious multi-bedroom units in premium locations.

The city remains below the national average for rental prices and is considered a “warm market,” meaning renters currently have more options and less competition compared to hotter housing markets.

The Pearl’s oyster and shellfish options make it stand out, but we are confident that none of the options at The Pearl will disappoint.
Another restaurant from Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, The Guild House, is another popular spot in the Short North. An artisan eatery offering creative American cuisine, it’s a great date night option. Their foods are sourced from locally grown ingredients whenever possible, and their chefs create seasonal dishes that are regionally and locally inspired. They also offer an expansive wine list with wines from around the world and signature-crafted cocktails.
