Referred to as the “Little Apple,” for reasons that should be abundantly obvious by the next word, Manhattan, Kansas is the fourth largest city in the state. It’s also home to Kansas State University and a few miles from a Fort Riley, a US Army base. Located in the Flint Hills area of northeast Kansas, Manhattan is a bit small in terms of city space. But what the city lacks in space it makes up for with a diverse population and great vibe. http://www.apartmentlist.com/cms/snippets/location/3107/reviewcityguides

KSU drives much of the economy and culture around Manhattan, mainly due to all the attention its sports programs. That’s not to say that the population is solely college-aged students, though. With a population of about 50,000 plus, Manhattan has its fair share of college students, but military personnel, families and people of all ages reside here, as well. In other words, there is nothing that this town can’t offer, no matter the age (except hills, or lack of tornadoes). Whether you shop and dine in Aggieville (not to be confused with Texas A&M – Boo!), stroll through the historic Downtown, or take in some KSU sports, you'll never have a dull moment in Manhattan.

Choosing a neighborhood in Manhattan is all about your interests and lifestyle. Outdoorsy types should look to Northwest Manhattan, closer to Fort Riley and the outdoor areas, such as Westchester Park. This end of town is quieter and very family-friendly, for the concerned parents out there. The homes around here are often newly built and larger while apartments are typically set back on acres or preserves. The larger real estate that these apartments occupy means rentals feature tennis courts, pools and fireplaces for those cold winters. Snazzy, eh?

Living here also puts residents within walking distance to shops, art museums, medical centers and some great schools.

With a four-season climate (locals advise you to rent where there is both a fireplace and a strong A/C unit), a passion for college sports and a setting so picturesque you won’t think you’re in Kansas anymore, Manhattan is the perfect city to start your life. Here’s to finding the perfect apartment for you!

Here's a look at how rents compare across some of the largest cities in the state.
- Looking throughout the state, Leawood is the most expensive of all Kansas' major cities, with a median two-bedroom rent of $1,507; of the 10 largest Kansas cities that we have data for, 9 have seen rents rise year-over-year, with Leawood experiencing the fastest growth (+7.5%).
- Lenexa, Topeka, and Shawnee have all experienced year-over-year growth above the state average (3.0%, 2.2%, and 2.2%, respectively).

Methodology - Recent Updates:
Data from private listing sites, including our own, tends to skew toward luxury apartments, which introduces sample bias when estimates are calculated directly from these listings. To address these limitations, we’ve recently made major updates to our methodology, which we believe have greatly improved the accuracy and reliability of our estimates.
Read more about our new methodology below, or see a more detailed post here.
Methodology:
Apartment List is committed to making our rent estimates the best and most accurate available. To do this, we start with reliable median rent statistics from the Census Bureau, then extrapolate them forward to the current month using a growth rate calculated from our listing data. In doing so, we use a same-unit analysis similar to Case-Shiller’s approach, comparing only units that are available across both time periods to provide an accurate picture of rent growth in cities across the country.
Our approach corrects for the sample bias inherent in other private sources, producing results that are much closer to statistics published by the Census Bureau and HUD. Our methodology also allows us to construct a picture of rent growth over an extended period of time, with estimates that are updated each month.
Read more about our methodology here.
About Rent Reports:
Apartment List publishes monthly reports on rental trends for hundreds of cities across the U.S. We intend these reports to be a source of reliable information that help renters and policymakers make sound decisions, and we invest significant time and effort in gathering and analyzing rent data. Our work is covered regularly by journalists across the country.
We are continuously working to improve our methodology and data, with the goal of providing renters with the information that they need to make the best decisions.
