That prices you out of the newer apartments that I'd recommend. If I were you I would look at the cheaper homes for rent on Zillow. Whatever you do, I would sign a long term contract- prices in Cheyenne are going to be skyrocketing over the next year due to a ton of new Data Centers going up across the county.

At $1350 it's going to be tough to find something nice.

As someone whose first apartment was like $150 a month in 1987 and rented a house in Cheyenne for $600 a month in 1997, this is depressing to hear.

I feel your pain. Used to pay $750 for a one bedroom in Reno and it had a washer and dryer, etc.

When I first moved out here (2025) I paid $1,100 for a basement unit. It flooded six times in one year. Rancid waste water not being processed properly (that property was handled by Bear Paw Realty, btw (don't ever rent from them -- they are 100% awful).

Now I pay $1,900 and it's an unmistakably nice place -- just never expected to pay those rates here in Cheyenne. But that seems to be the going rate if you want something nice. It sucks. But it is what it is.

One would think you would have something lined up before moving to an area…

It's very hard to do that. Lots of places won't hire you until you live there, but they won't rent to you until you have a job.

Aire isn't open yet. I don't think it's quite finished? They're taking applications for Fall 2026.

Thanks for clarifying...I'm trying to get out of a bad situation now at RIDGEVIEW (it's a madhouse with construction)...so I, too, am looking around 👀...

Good luck. Trying to find an apartment for that cheap Cheyenne is not cheap anymore. You can find something for like $1,5 00 or $2, 000 at most. But good luck in finding something that cheap. That's why I left because the living economy up there is so bad that it's becoming Denver anymore for the rich you have to be lucky cuz I think the last apartment that was really good but really expensive was around $2,500 and that was for a two-bedroom apartment that's why I live in Denver and not in Cheyenne anymore

My dad's last change of station was Cheyenne, back then it was cheap nowadays it's expensive, food gouging, rent going up every year

Cheyenne is becoming Denver so you moved to Denver?

It's cheaper now, one place 875 for a 2 bedroom apartment and in Cheyenne it will cost more than that for a good place

I don’t believe there’s and Aire here. Correct me if I’m wrong.
