Located in the heart of the Antelope Valley in Southern California's western Mojave Desert, Lancaster combines desert landscapes with city conveniences. The city's rich aerospace history dates back to its establishment as a railway water stop in the 19th century. Today, Lancaster has grown into a community of over 173,000 residents, recognized for its clear desert skies and solar power initiatives—the city leads California in solar power production per capita.
Lancaster's rental market spans 94 square miles, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,569 per month. The BLVD, the city's downtown district, features local restaurants, shops, and the Lancaster Museum of Art and History. Located approximately 70 miles north of Los Angeles, Lancaster offers more affordable housing options while maintaining accessibility to the greater Los Angeles area. Residents can explore 600 acres of parks, visit the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve, or take a short drive to the California Poppy Reserve, experiencing both natural desert beauty and community amenities.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
