ECONOMY NEWS

  • A recent study by Zumper showed that Clermont has the most expensive one-bedroom apartments at $1,650, while Leesburg is the most affordable at $1,030—Ocala, Palm Bay, Kissimmee, and Apopka have rents in between, and renting remains a cheaper option than owning as home prices stay high. The study compared active rental listings from February to offer consumers a clear view of Central Florida's rental market.  Fox 35 Orlando
