Which Northern Colorado Town Has the Most Expensive Rent?

If you have lived in Colorado for any amount of time in recent years, you know that most of the desirable places to live in Northern Colorado are not cheap by any means.

Rent can be crazy expensive for a simple studio apartment, but the trade-off is that you could be close to whatever it is you are into. Like going out on the weekend in Old Town Fort Collins? It's going to cost you to live close to the amenities that you want.

One would figure that the biggest of the four communities would be the most expensive, right? Close, but not correct. We'll break down how much someone can expect to pay for a studio, one-bedroom, and a three-bedroom apartment in each city.
