What’s the average rent in Kenosha, WI?
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates something called Fair Market Rent (FMR) for every region in the country, including Kenosha. These numbers represent the estimated cost of rent plus basic utilities (like water, heat, and gas) for standard-quality rental housing.
Fair Market Rent is not the maximum or average price exactly. It’s meant to reflect the 40th percentile of rents in the area, meaning 40% of units in Kenosha should rent at or below this amount.

|---|---|
Efficiency | $1,104 |
One Bedroom | $1,111 |
Two Bedroom | $1,447 |
Three Bedroom | $1,944 |
Four Bedroom | $2,216 |
if you're looking for a 1-bedroom in Kenosha, HUD estimates you’ll need around $1,111/month to cover both rent and utilities.
