If you thought your rent was expensive … you were right.
The District is the sixth most expensive rental market in the country, according to a study called “Paycheck to Paycheck: Wages and the Cost of Housing in America.”
The 2009 fair market rent in town was $1,494 a month (which, for comparison’s sake, is the same as Bethesda).
San Francisco, Honolulu, and Santa Cruz round out the top three.
