As home prices continue to march higher and the nation’s inventory of entry-level homes for sale remains low, more Americans find themselves renting a place to live. In fact, rental levels have reached a level not seen since the mid- to late-1960s. According to a report last year from the Pew Research Center, 37% of U.S. households are rentals.

In the country’s large cities, however, rents are rising nearly as fast as sales prices. That makes it even tougher for potential first-time buyers to save for a down payment and buy a home of their own.

According to Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com, that’s changing the landscape for renters:

Because of high home prices and rising rents, people are getting creative and looking [for rental apartments] in areas that they might not have looked at before. When you’re looking for affordability, you’ve got to make trade-offs.

Researchers at Realtor.com unearthed 10 big-city neighborhoods that met the following criteria: within a 45-minute commute to downtown during the morning rush hour; a crime rate that did not rise above a certain threshold; and a significant number of listings for rental units. The results include the median price for a one-bedroom unit, the median one-bedroom rent in a particular neighborhood (by Zip code) and the share of renter households in the neighborhood. Here’s their list.
