Colorado City Named One of the Worst Places to Rent
Here in Colorado, the cost of living has seemingly gotten out of control.
In fact, the average rent here in Colorado is some of the highest in the entire country at $1,594.
That’s the fifth highest.
Not just that, but people in places like Fort Collins are really starting to feel the sting of increasing rent prices all across the state.
However, last year, three Colorado cities were somehow ranked as some of the better places to rent in the country.
Now, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
