Finding One-Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Nashville, TN

A one-bedroom apartment in Nashville can look very different depending on where in the city you're searching.

Renters who want to walk to restaurants, bars, and work without relying on a car tend to look at Downtown, The Gulch, Midtown, and Germantown, where one-bedrooms sit in newer mid- and high-rise buildings but typically come at a premium.

East Nashville neighborhoods like Inglewood and SoBro offer a similar walkable, independent feel at a somewhat lower price point, while neighborhoods farther from the core, such as Antioch, tend to have larger, more affordable one-bedroom units in garden-style communities, usually with more on-site parking but less within walking distance.

Nashville's public transit is limited outside the urban core, so renters who choose a one-bedroom farther from downtown should plan on driving for most errands and commutes. It's also worth checking whether parking is included or charged separately, since that varies a lot by building and can meaningfully change the real monthly cost. Apartment List lets you filter one-bedroom listings across Nashville by neighborhood, price, and amenities like parking and in-unit laundry, so you can compare the walkable, pricier options against the more affordable, car-dependent ones.
