As Miami-Dade residents try to heal and return to normal after navigating the lingering crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, we now face an unprecedented spike in the cost of basic necessities, including — and especially — the cost of rent.

However, in March the average rent in Hialeah for a studio apartment went up 18% to $1,150 a month. And the cost of a one-bedroom apartment rose 7% to $1,550 a month, while average rent for a two-bedroom place jumped 10% to $2,099, according to Zumper, an online rental platform.
