Studios in Concord begin at about $500 per month and are the perfect solution for young professionals or minimalists who don't need a lot of space. When you need to stretch your legs, you shouldn't plan on stomping grapes (this isn't that Concord), but you'll find golfing and other outdoor activities. And you can always sip on the fruits of someone else's grape stomping labor at a local winery.

Where to Live

Amenities at Concord studios include cable-ready units, free parking and outdoor swimming pools. You may even be able to score a detached garage and round-the-clock emergency maintenance. Check out studios in these neighborhoods when you're looking for a lease to sign on the dotted line.

North Concord: This quiet part of town is home to quiet brick houses and apartment rentals - including studio apartments. Rent a cozy property along Crystalwood Court or Hampton Forest Drive, and you're surrounded by lush leafy lawns and residential streets perfect for jogging and lovely afternoon bike rides. You can wake up on a Sunday and spend your morning beneath the trees before you head downtown or make the trip to Charlotte for an adventure.

Downtown Concord: If you're interested in being closer to the center of the action, a studio in downtown Concord is the perfect choice. You'll be steps away from favorite annual events such as the Spring into Arts Festival and a short jaunt from the shops, dining and sports facilities of Union Street. Wake up in your brand new studio apartment on a Saturday morning, stroll over to the local coffee shop and then head right to the chocolatier to get a little weekend treat.

Living in Concord

You may be living in a bedroom community, but you'll spring out of bed each morning ready to explore. Concord is something of a hub for NASCAR fans, thanks to the Charlotte Motor Speedway making its home here. When you want to slow things down, mosey over to the SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord to walk beneath glowing tanks filled with exotic marine life. Spend your afternoon at the Cougar Run Winery, and then head back to your studio and get gussied up for a night at the Old Courthouse Theater.
