The price per square foot is higher in Boston and in cities in New York and California. If you want the most bang for your buck, head to the Midwest. The lowest rental rate per square foot is in Waynesville, Missouri, where rents average $0.51 per square foot, affording a 2,920 square-foot apartment for those with a $1,500 a month budget.
