Finding rentals in Colorado Springs can be challenging—the market is fragmented across platforms, and most local agents (including us at The Bacon Partners) focus on sales rather than tenant representation. While we specialize in helping buyers achieve homeownership, we know renting is often the smart choice for flexibility, especially for military families, newcomers exploring neighborhoods like Northgate or Briargate, or those saving for a down payment.
As of early 2025, average rents hover around $1,150–$1,750 depending on size and location (1-bedrooms ~$1,150, 2-bedrooms ~$1,650), with options from cozy apartments to spacious houses.
