One Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Columbus, Ohio: Current Pricing & What to Expect
If you're renting solo, a one-bedroom is usually the sweet spot between a studio's tight square footage and a two-bedroom's higher price tag. Columbus has a wide one-bedroom market, and the price you'll see depends heavily on which data source — and which neighborhood — you're looking at.
What a One-Bedroom Actually Costs in Columbus Right Now
RentCafe's August 2026 data puts the citywide average one-bedroom at $1,216 a month for about 682 square feet. Other trackers report lower citywide averages, with Rent.com and RentHop both putting the number closer to $1,077–$1,095. Downtown-adjacent ZIP codes tell a different story entirely — one-bedroom rentals in 43215 near the Short North average $1,835, and 43201 near Ohio State runs around $1,475. The pattern is consistent across every source: the further you get from the downtown core, the more one-bedroom rent comes back down to earth.
