How much does the zip code influence the budget for renting a home?

MIAMI.- “Location, location, location” is one of the most recurring quotes in the real estate industry. Its repetition seeks to emphasize the importance that the location of a property has on its price. Two identical properties, located in different environments, are valued differently.

It is precisely the thesis that reinforces a recent study carried out by Rent Cafe in the 50 most important cities in the US, including Miami. The analysis determined the differences between rental prices between different zip codes (zip code) within the same city.

Rent Cafe, unintentionally, on the one hand, revealed those invisible borders that exist between different neighborhoods and areas in a given metropolis. And, on the other hand, he pointed out where the opportunities to live in a more affordable way are found.

The research consisted of determining how many square feet of housing can be rented with a budget of $1,700 per month (the equivalent of the average rent nationwide) in the different zip codes of the country.
