America's Most Expensive Rental Homes

The nation's rental home market is booming. The national average rent hit a record-breaking $1,181 in March, up 5.7 percent since last year.

But there's expensive ... and then there is eye-wateringly expensive.

To see what you get when renting a life of luxury, the RentCafe research team put together a list of the priciest rental homes across the country. If you think shelling out $4,500 a month for a NYC rental is expensive, wait till you see these homes. From California to Georgia, every US state holds its gems, all unique in their own way but with one common feature – hefty price tags.

Topping the “most expensive rentals by state” list at $300,000 a month is a 12,957 square-foot home in Miami Beach --

• "Brand new 2 story contemporary excellence built by Todd Glaser, stunning downtown open views on world famous north bay rd, 8 bed,8 full bath, 3 half bath, rooftop deck, formal dining, gourmet chef kitchen, 3 car garage, dock with dock pedestal, 186 ft on water, heated pool with spa, english garden and lush landscape throughout, completely gated in, enormous master suite, cabana with bbq."

Compared to that, Georgia’s most expensive rental home looks like a real bargain: $25,000 for a futuristic abode in Sandy Springs featuring an infinity pool that can be viewed through a glass wall in the media room --

• "There is NOTHING else like it in Atlanta. It is a modern masterpiece that has been the temporary residence of many a celebrity and the backdrop of several well-known films. The property features an infinity pool that can be viewed through a glass wall in the media room, a carved-out nook for children or adults looking for a secluded getaway, and an out-of-this-world atmosphere."
