Finding an apartment in Boston at a reasonable price is no easy feat, especially with rents on the rise. Many renters take their hunt outside Boston proper to places like Somerville in search of lower prices.

Once again, Apartment Advisor named Massachusetts the most expensive state in the country when it comes to renting a one-bedroom apartment, with a median asking price of $2,500. The online marketplace bases that figure on available listings.

These were the median rents in Somerville in July:
