While most of us would never imagine paying more than we already have to on rent, there are plenty of wealthy folks eager to embrace upscale living – and pay the costs. So what’s in it for them?

We wanted to see how high-up Columbus rents go and what type of perks come with luxury renting. What we’ve found out is that the most fabulous rental homes ask up to almost $3,000/month and flaunt awesome locations (either in bustling downtown or in a quiet cul-de-sac away from the public eye), plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and state-of-the-art amenities – and that’s not all!

From spacious Downtown apartments to amazing estates in residential neighborhoods, here are 10 of most expensive homes for rent in Columbus right now:
