Lexington, Massachusetts, is a small town located about 20 kilometers west of downtown Boston. Due to the reputation of its school district, including Lexington High School, there is a steady interest from Korean families with children. In this article, we will summarize rental prices and square footage for unit types ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.

The average rent for a studio in Lexington is around $2,611. The median is $2,675, which is actually higher than the average. This indicates that there is not a large supply, leading to significant price variations depending on the listings.

A one-bedroom averages $2,893, with a median of $3,275. The size is reported to be about 911 square feet. A two-bedroom averages $3,712 with 1,249 square feet, while a three-bedroom is reported to be in the range of $4,300 to $4,790, with a size of around 1,385 square feet.

• Studio: approximately $2,611
• One-bedroom: approximately $2,893 / 911 square feet
• Two-bedroom: approximately $3,712 / 1,249 square feet
• Three-bedroom: approximately $4,300–$4,790 / 1,385 square feet

Looking at new developments, there is a noticeable proportion of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Similar to trends in suburban areas around Boston, newer projects tend to have a higher proportion of small to medium-sized units. In areas like Lexington, where land is limited, this trend is even more pronounced.

The demand varies by unit type. Studios and one-bedrooms are primarily sought after by commuters to Boston or graduate students living alone. Two-bedrooms are popular among roommate shares or newlyweds, while three-bedrooms are mainly occupied by families with children looking for good school districts.

The rent difference when moving from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom is about $820, and from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom, it ranges from $600 to $1,000. Considering that the burden increases significantly with each additional room, it is advisable to first assess your budget and the number of residents.

For Korean families, it is recommended to first determine the school grade and commuting distance for children, and then narrow down the complexes that have three-bedroom listings. Since the school district premium is already reflected in the rent, comparing two-bedrooms in neighboring towns within the same budget is also a viable option.

The figures are based on data from RentCafe and Zumper for 2026, and actual market prices at the time of contract may vary depending on the complex and floor level.
