Denver rents have risen to become the 14th highest in the country, according to a new report.

National home and rental search site Zumper said the median rent for a one-bedroom unit was $1,250 per month and a two-bedroom unit rented for $1,750 per month. That's a 4.2 percent increase from a year earlier.

The most expensive part of the city, Zumper reported, was the city's Golden Triangle area near downtown, where the median rent for a one-bedroom unit was $2,350 a month.

San Francisco has the highest monthly median rents in the country, at $3,500.

Last week, it was reported that Denver rents are "unaffordable," because it takes 35 percent of a person's monthly income to afford rent in the city.
