&lt;p&gt;As of 2023, Narre Warren has a 1-bedroom rental average around &lt;strong&gt;$1,540&lt;/strong&gt; per month, slightly below the state average of &lt;strong&gt;$1,600&lt;/strong&gt;. Three-bedroom homes average about &lt;strong&gt;$2,100&lt;/strong&gt; per month, with prices swinging by pocket and school zones. Vacancy tightens near transport and shopping, so be ready to move fast. What most renters miss: weeknight inspections often face less competition.
