Cheapest Houses in Loveland for Rent

It may seem like cheap real estate doesn't exist in Loveland. While that's not an untrue suggestion, there are semi-affordable houses in the Sweetheart City if you're willing to rent.

I don't know about you, but when I used to hear the term "real estate," my mind immediately drifted to HGTV, where couples fresh out of college can somehow afford a half-million-dollar home with a tennis court.

Now, I've come to believe that these House Hunters scenarios are a pure delusion — especially when looking at Colorado's real estate market. In Loveland alone, one of the cheapest houses for sale last year still went for $270,000.

That's where renting comes in. I'm not a real estate expert and can't tell you whether renting or buying is better for you in the long run. However, I do know that renting is sometimes cheaper and a preferred option for people like me (aka, a mid-twenty-something who is afraid to look at her bank account).

Still, renting a house isn't necessarily an inexpensive endeavor. My recent Zillow search showed me that "cheap" rentals in the Sweetheart City still go for nearly $3,000 a month.

Using this loose definition of cheap, I found some houses that might fit the bill (no pun intended). Check out the cheapest houses in Loveland for rent in the gallery below:
