What is the median rent on this page?

The median rent is $2,980, which gives a quick sense of the typical asking price in this scope.

What costs should I check besides rent?

Confirm broker fees, security deposit, application fees, utilities, and any move-in charges. A unit under $3,000 can still cost more once those are added.
