Boston residents have long felt the pinch of rising housing prices. But a report released this week by the real-estate website Zumper analyzes what the median rent looks like in each neighborhood.

According to Zumper, Boston has the fourth-highest rent in the country, beating Los Angeles, Oakland and Washington, D.C. A median one-bedroom apartment in Boston costs $2,500, while the median two-bedroom apartment in the city is listed at $2,900.

Boston particularly sees higher rents around August and September due to the influx of college students.
