Current rental trends show average prices ranging from $1,306 for studios to $2,952 for three-bedroom homes, with most areas experiencing modest price adjustments over the past year. The downtown district centers around Main Street and Palm Avenue, while the tree-lined streets of Laurel Park feature historic architecture.
