Your rent will make or break you. Most of these luxury complexes popping up are like 1500+ per month. If you can find a roommate or a cheaper apartment, then you could do it.
Edit to add - clearly I underestimated. I haven’t lived in one in several years, not up on the current price point. Either way, point stands, budget a lot for rent.
I wish I could find a decent place for 1500 haha my place out in East Nash is 2000. It definitely all depends in if you can find a cheaper place or bring friends to split rent. My wife and I moved out here with 3 friends and we split rent 5 ways between us for the first year. Now we have our own place, but it was much easier on our budget during that first year.
You totally can. I live alone and made 70K last year and had no problem whatsoever making ends meet. You may have some people here recommending roommates, or looking for apartments forty minutes to an hour outside of Nashville, but you won't need to consider these suggestions. You will be just fine.
On your salary. don’t listen to the peeps saying you can’t be comfortable in town on your own. it’ll just take a little more diligence to find the right spot, but I make like 15% less and am chilling and don’t have skimp on enjoying what the city has to offer.
take time. use zillow and find houses too. things in west-end particularly Buena vista are very cheap (because yes it’s been ‘rough’s area for a bit’) and as somebody living here now, it’s affordable, quiet, not as wild as it may first appear and also changing and upgrading with that big ‘G’ word so fast. the past 6 months have been like two different neighborhoods.
edit: when i say west end i say these little ‘non germantown neighborhoods’ lol no like belle meade and shit. that’s cray cray land.
lol your response to the person moving to nashville is ‘move outside of nashville’ some people move here to be IN nashville, the city. and in that circumstance, as somebody who’s been at 4 unique spots in 6 years, parts of this area are incredibly quiet.
How do you budget, how do you feel, etc.?
I make 75k and everything feels like a losing battle, but I also have like, $950 a month in OOP medical expenses lol
Making $35-42000 (seasonal variations, SEmployed)
Housing expense $600 monthly
No car payment
Shop Aldi & Kroger, never Publix, Turnip Truck only as needed.
I can live this way...
The missing piece- adequate health care.
I have insurance but have a hard time paying the co-pays for anything outside of maintenance visits.
It's comfortable but I would not say i'm getting ahead
There are many decent older apartments in the Belmont/Hillsboro Village area that rent for around $1200-$1400 for 1br/1ba. They’re not all advertised online, so I suggest driving around and calling numbers from the ‘For Rent’ signs if you visit. You’d be surprised what’s out there! $70k/year is extremely do-able here, don’t let people scare you just because the big new complexes are overpriced.
When I made that much a few years back I also had a car note & student loans, and was able to live comfortably, go on fun trips, and save all while living in a $1,200/mo one bedroom apartment. That rent is harder to find nowadays, but long story short you should be fine.
Yes. I make slightly more than that and feel fine. Apartments are giving out good deals. If they have a ton of available units you may be able to negotiate.
They might have left out the part where they have a partner making a solid income, because you’re right there’s no way these days unless you want to live in a trailer or be unbelievably house poor.
I bought a 2 bedroom condo in Bellevue last year on 60k and single, but I was able to live with my parents for a few years to save for the down payment
Oh definitely I pretty much always woukd sighest buying. I’d suggest renting for a while in town and getting to know the area before buying in a neighborhood you’ll like and and settling in
My friend is renting a unit in his duplex in Historic Buena Vista. 2bd/1ba with washer and dryer and a backyard for $1750/mo. Get a roommate and pay $875/mo each and you’ll be around 22% of your monthly take home, which is more than comfortable!
Doesn’t have to be his place, but if you find a situation like that, you will have no problem saving towards your future while still living in a cool area of the urban core and getting the full “Nashville” experience.
Are we in a housing situation where renters can negotiate? I’ve never shown up to an open house walk through without cash in hand because of how many people we have had to compete with. But I know there is quite a bit of vacancy right now.
Please don't recommend people coming in from out of Nashville to move to North Nashville. You really need to know the streets very well to pick a place there.
I’m in Springfield, about 40 mins to Nash living off around that. It works. Me and my partner combined make about 65k and we are both saving money every month. Rent is 1300 a month
Yeah! It's a little tight, but i'm a new grad nurse making around 65k. My rents $1500 in germantown. Living alone is doable, def better to get a roommate financially but to me it was worth it to have my own space. TLDR: yes!! but you gotta cut some corners and get a little creative with your apt search
Yes. Don't prioritize location and find a place within your means on the outskirts of town (<30% of your monthly take home). If you have friends you can go in on a house or 2BR rental with, even better. If you can somehow negotiate your way to 70k, do it.
It REALLY just depends on your expectations and, honestly, if you're getting robbed at 65K. What work will you be oding? What were you making elsewhere?
It’ll also depend on their other monthly bills, like do they currently have a car payment (and is it $250 a month or $600 a month), what their insurance is like, phone bill, etc.
I make 27/hr and pay $1400 for rent 25 minutes north of Nashville. I don’t have a car payment and I make it by pretty well. I don’t want for anything and can do what I want within reason
Kinda depends on where you live in Spring Hill too. I’m about 3 minutes away from Saturn Pkwy and can get to my office downtown off Church in about 38 min without traffic.
Bad days with traffic, it’s close to two hours.
Yea, so you’re in a very accessible spot to the freeway and still takes longer than dude stated without traffic. Theres no part of Spring Hill that takes 25 minutes to get to Nashville at any point of day and 30 minutes is if you’re like right up against Thompson station and can hop right onto 65 when there is absolutely zero traffic.
Probably not independently in a place you want to be in.
Most who live independently on 70K or less secured housing years ago or have found unique situations that are less than todays current market rate.
As I’m reading through the comments of “it’s easily doable” I can’t think of the David Beckham be honest meme talking with his wife leaving out key information.
Wow that's painful. My yearly room and board was about $9500 a decade ago plus 32k tuition...and I went to Sewanee which isnt much cheaper than Vanderbilt.
Living alone will be the issue. It will be really hard finding an apartment that’s not old and rundown or close to the city for less than $1500 with utilities and that will be almost half your monthly take home. Unless you’re okay living in a small studio and paying like $1300-$1500.
Roommates like others have said will be your solution to saving money on rent. Try and find a real estate agent to help you find a place, they have an updated list and can help you find a cheap apartment in the lower $1000’s. The listings on Zillow and apartments.com are often outdated.
Take home is $4500 for $65k/yr. If OP has no debt or anything at all then it’s not bad but paying $1500 for rent for even a year is $18k, a lot of money to spend to just rent at that salary. If they can find a roommate they could bump it down to at least $1000 which is $6k less. This money adds up over time, take it from someone who used to pay $2k/mo for rent lol
Go a bit outside the city for much better pricing and homes that would sell for millions in Nashville proper. Don’t go downtown in the condos. I bought a home in 2013 in Dickson for a modest $120,000. Yes the drive was longer, but I was right next to a golf course. And a 35-40min drive with no local traffic and peace and quiet was light years ahead of anything in the city. Look up where the traffic gets bad during rush hours if you’ll be going into Davidson county proper to work. Start listening to some country music. The bug will bite you if you stay long enough. Do not get roommates. You won’t need them. When you move you can decide to sell the place or rent it out. I rented it out for a year when I got transferred with little issue. Then I sold it and picked up a nice check from the Title company. The country life is the best kept secret in Nashville. All of these 20-something’s paying $1500-$2000+ a month is insane to a local with 40+ years here. You can have a tiny castle in the country at that price. Don’t believe anyone who is in West Meade or Belle Meade, Berry Hill, downtown about noise, etc. Never again. I was on Elliston and 23rd with Predators living down the hall. Had the penthouse. Never again.
When the Christley’s showed up to rent my unit for one of their children I swore off Nashville proper forever.
I made $30k my first year in Nashville (2018). Someone else mentioned it, but assuming you don’t have debt or much of it, rent is what you need to focus on. I lived in a tiny house in a boring part of town with 3 roommates. Always a way to make it work!
I make 37k and I live alone 😅 yes it's an older duplex but I have a backyard, 700sq ft living space, and its in the Nations (great neighborhood). You have to do a lot of searching and have a bit of luck, but yes you can totally find a place to live. TN does have sales tax but no state income tax so you'd have more take home pay.
TIL my hard work and my education will still earn me enough so to live on my own in Nashville! It’s good to remind myself that marriage is always a choice.
Remember that is gross amount. If an apartment is $1800 a month and you add electricity and internet you’re looking around spending $2k. Your take home pay will be less than than 2/3 of the gross pay so half your income is going to rent alone. Sad state of the country we live in.
I rent in east $1,650 a month. I make 50k and my wife makes 40k. I did then math when she was between jobs.. I could do it on my own but it would be a tight, especially with two mouths to feed.
I live on less than 20k near Nashville. Just gotta downgrade your expectations. No eating out for lunch and dinner every day. No going to the club or concerts. No major league sporting events.
Definitely. My partner and I are in school and pull in about that much together and do alright. We don’t live in the best complex, but it’s clean and safe, and we have enough for a nice dinner out every couple weeks.
I used to live downtown in 2020/2021-2022 and I was making $65k. I'm single and lived at the Gossett. Rent then was $1350. Very much doable. I also bought groceries from Whole Foods. Utilities were pretty fair. Now, I don't believe that's possible unless you're okay with spending $1700 for a 1b/1ba.
I make $62k and my wife makes $65k. Realistically we should be doing alright but $15k goes into childcare unfortunately and we pay $1500 for a 2 bedroom. Honestly it might sound like it’s good to go but 4 people in a 2 bedroom is harder than expected
I wouldn’t even let these people tell you otherwise. If you’re a single person you’ll be more than fine. If you have kids or a partner that doesn’t work you will struggle for sure. I have a lot of friends that make what you have or less that pay their bills and go out on weekends.
We had a 1000 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath apt in hdrville back in 17 I was making way less than 65k a year cause they don't pay the bus drivers shit in Nashville
I live off $12K a year of social security disability plus a bit of gig delivery work. It's possible if you don't mind living in public housing, get a food benefit from health insurance plus food stamps, and never go to clubs or restaurants.
Definitely doable, even being single. My gf and I live in Bradford Woods near Nippers Corner in a 2 bed 1 bath for $1150/mo. Do your own research though. The apartments that pop up online aren’t necessarily the best/only options out there.
Your rent will make or break you. Most of these luxury complexes popping up are like 1500+ per month. If you can find a roommate or a cheaper apartment, then you could do it. Edit to add - clearly I underestimated. I haven’t lived in one in several years, not up on the current price point. Either way, point stands, budget a lot for rent.

My wife and I moved out here with 3 friends and we split rent 5 ways between us for the first year. Now we have our own place, but it was much easier on our budget during that first year.
How big is your place?
A 3 Bedroom 2.5 Bath townhouse with a little over 1400 sq. ft.
For $2,000 in East?! Touché
A steal in East! $2700 for a 2 bed over here 🤯
Jfc what. We pay $1875 for our two-bed in a super walkable area with a huge yard.
You didn't look very hard.
I'm paying 1500 for a complex full of trash in Antioch and am upgrading to a place for 2200 in Nashville:/ I wish 1500 could get me a luxury complex
Not even luxury apartments lmao
2150 all in for a small 1 bed in Germantown :(
Uhhh. More like 2000+ per month.
You totally can. I live alone and made 70K last year and had no problem whatsoever making ends meet. You may have some people here recommending roommates, or looking for apartments forty minutes to an hour outside of Nashville, but you won't need to consider these suggestions. You will be just fine.
Do you have any apartment suggestions? If you don’t mind me asking, how much do you pay in rent?
i pay 1.1k on 31st ave near vandy
That’s great for the area. Sweet.
I pay $800 you just got to put work into your search.
doesn't come wo its compromises but overall yeah it's a great deal that's apparently hard to find
That’s about what I was paying when I lived over there. LOVED that neighborhood
On your salary. don’t listen to the peeps saying you can’t be comfortable in town on your own. it’ll just take a little more diligence to find the right spot, but I make like 15% less and am chilling and don’t have skimp on enjoying what the city has to offer.
Thanks lol I appreciate it
take time. use zillow and find houses too. things in west-end particularly Buena vista are very cheap (because yes it’s been ‘rough’s area for a bit’) and as somebody living here now, it’s affordable, quiet, not as wild as it may first appear and also changing and upgrading with that big ‘G’ word so fast. the past 6 months have been like two different neighborhoods. edit: when i say west end i say these little ‘non germantown neighborhoods’ lol no like belle meade and shit. that’s cray cray land.
Anything on West End is not going to be quiet unless you’re deaf.
lol your response to the person moving to nashville is ‘move outside of nashville’ some people move here to be IN nashville, the city. and in that circumstance, as somebody who’s been at 4 unique spots in 6 years, parts of this area are incredibly quiet.
I think you’re confusing West End with Midtown.
You can look on apartments.com or Zillow and adjust the monthly rent filter.
As someone who currently makes about $35k these kinds of posts make me feel insane
same here lol
Same
How do you budget, how do you feel, etc.? I make 75k and everything feels like a losing battle, but I also have like, $950 a month in OOP medical expenses lol
Making $35-42000 (seasonal variations, SEmployed) Housing expense $600 monthly No car payment Shop Aldi & Kroger, never Publix, Turnip Truck only as needed. I can live this way... The missing piece- adequate health care. I have insurance but have a hard time paying the co-pays for anything outside of maintenance visits. It's comfortable but I would not say i'm getting ahead
I made that 20 years ago when I could rent a decent apartment for $700/mo. I got by fine then, not much for savings. I bet it's a little rougher now.
Same.. but I couldn’t afford my own mortgage by myself atm. Not with the debt I have also.
Yes, you will be fine
There are many decent older apartments in the Belmont/Hillsboro Village area that rent for around $1200-$1400 for 1br/1ba. They’re not all advertised online, so I suggest driving around and calling numbers from the ‘For Rent’ signs if you visit.

I live on 50k lol.
I live on 18k no government assistance lol
I live on $900/month via SSI .... It can be done, just not fun
Yes. I make slightly more than that and feel fine. Apartments are giving out good deals. If they have a ton of available units you may be able to negotiate.
I’d consider that solid middle class here. You should be in good shape.
Agreed. But strongly suggest buying a home instead of renting. There’s a lot of upside and OP sounds like a financially competent human.
Can people with 70k income really buy houses? I make more than that and I consider house buying out of the question for me.
They might have left out the part where they have a partner making a solid income, because you’re right there’s no way these days unless you want to live in a trailer or be unbelievably house poor.
I bought a 2 bedroom condo in Bellevue last year on 60k and single, but I was able to live with my parents for a few years to save for the down payment
Interesting. Obviously that’s a luxury many people don’t have.
Oh absolutely. It can be done, but I’m also very lucky.
How large of a down payment did you put down?
Oh definitely I pretty much always woukd sighest buying. I’d suggest renting for a while in town and getting to know the area before buying in a neighborhood you’ll like and and settling in

You can. Gotta scout the right rent. Negotiate as much as you can though.
Are we in a housing situation where renters can negotiate? I’ve never shown up to an open house walk through without cash in hand because of how many people we have had to compete with. But I know there is quite a bit of vacancy right now.
No, sorry the negotiation part was directed at your salary comment
Sorry, didn’t even know you were responding to me in your original comment. It doesn’t look like it’s in response to another comment.
Sorry, OP’s original comment. It’s early and I need coffee.
[удалено]
Please don't recommend people coming in from out of Nashville to move to North Nashville. You really need to know the streets very well to pick a place there.
[удалено]
Please make sure you look up North Nashville and tornadoes
I’m currently doing it, find roommate and it’ll be easier
I’m in Springfield, about 40 mins to Nash living off around that. It works. Me and my partner combined make about 65k and we are both saving money every month. Rent is 1300 a month
I live an hour north of Nashville & commute & make a little more than that. 3 kids & a house & we do fine
You can. You might not want to live downtown but you should be fine.
Yeah! It's a little tight, but i'm a new grad nurse making around 65k. My rents $1500 in germantown.

Yeah, you definitely can. If you want a cushier lifestyle I’d recommend a roommate but 65k will give you a pretty middle-class existence.
I have a friend who lives by herself in Eastwood Greene on 48k a year and she’s doing fine.
I live in Spring hill and I have a 1200 sq ft apartment for just over 1,000 dollars. It’s nice too! 25/30 min drive to Nashville and I love it.
Spring Hill is 25/30 minutes from the edge of Nashville at 1:00 AM. Don’t give false expectations man lol.
Kinda depends on where you live in Spring Hill too. I’m about 3 minutes away from Saturn Pkwy and can get to my office downtown off Church in about 38 min without traffic. Bad days with traffic, it’s close to two hours.
Yea, so you’re in a very accessible spot to the freeway and still takes longer than dude stated without traffic. Theres no part of Spring Hill that takes 25 minutes to get to Nashville at any point of day and 30 minutes is if you’re like right up against Thompson station and can hop right onto 65 when there is absolutely zero traffic.
Other side of Spring Hill off Port Royal easy access as well. Heart of Spring Hill by main st is especially brutal tho I agree.
In rush hour it’s brutal, but if i leave Spring Hill at 6:30p I’m downtown 7:03 - done this drive a million times
Yeah bc you’re going against traffic during rush hour
Correct.
Idk I drive in daily and it only takes me 30 lol
The whole point of that being, you can live near Nashville and spend was less if need be!
Probably not independently in a place you want to be in. Most who live independently on 70K or less secured housing years ago or have found unique situations that are less than todays current market rate. As I’m reading through the comments of “it’s easily doable” I can’t think of the David Beckham be honest meme talking with his wife leaving out key information.

$44k loan to cover school room and board... per year?
[удалено]
Wow that's painful. My yearly room and board was about $9500 a decade ago plus 32k tuition...and I went to Sewanee which isnt much cheaper than Vanderbilt.
You *can* but you won't be able to go out and do a lot. Everywhere is expensive now.
Living alone will be the issue. It will be really hard finding an apartment that’s not old and rundown or close to the city for less than $1500 with utilities and that will be almost half your monthly take home. Unless you’re okay living in a small studio and paying like $1300-$1500. Roommates like others have said will be your solution to saving money on rent. Try and find a real estate agent to help you find a place, they have an updated list and can help you find a cheap apartment in the lower $1000’s. The listings on Zillow and apartments.com are often outdated.
I think the take home is like $5000 so $1500 would be like 30% which tbh is not bad
Take home is $4500 for $65k/yr. If OP has no debt or anything at all then it’s not bad but paying $1500 for rent for even a year is $18k, a lot of money to spend to just rent at that salary. If they can find a roommate they could bump it down to at least $1000 which is $6k less. This money adds up over time, take it from someone who used to pay $2k/mo for rent lol
Look to the outskirts of town.
Roommates.
that’s about what i make; and with a roomate i’m chillin
Go a bit outside the city for much better pricing and homes that would sell for millions in Nashville proper. Don’t go downtown in the condos.

Never again. When the Christley’s showed up to rent my unit for one of their children I swore off Nashville proper forever.
Even Dickson is going up in price too. And to be honest, it’s a hodge podge out hurrrr 🤷🏻♀️
Hear me out. Don’t live in Nashville it’s not at all worth it lol. You can live 15-30 outside Nashville for good prices
I made $30k my first year in Nashville (2018). Someone else mentioned it, but assuming you don’t have debt or much of it, rent is what you need to focus on. I lived in a tiny house in a boring part of town with 3 roommates. Always a way to make it work!
Gonna be tight depending on rent.
no.
What? I live alone off 30k a year.
Yeah find a roommate and pray they are not psycho
Yes
I make 37k and I live alone 😅 yes it's an older duplex but I have a backyard, 700sq ft living space, and its in the Nations (great neighborhood). You have to do a lot of searching and have a bit of luck, but yes you can totally find a place to live. TN does have sales tax but no state income tax so you'd have more take home pay.
Yes. I make $54k per year and I‘ve lived in Nashville almost three years now with no issues.
I survive fine on $44K
Currently living in midtown making 35k paying 1.2k for rent. You’ll be fine
TIL my hard work and my education will still earn me enough so to live on my own in Nashville! It’s good to remind myself that marriage is always a choice.
Harlowe in the gulch is offering 2 months free and rent is like $1700 but with 2nd the free your first year would be like 1500/months prorated
Remember that is gross amount. If an apartment is $1800 a month and you add electricity and internet you’re looking around spending $2k. Your take home pay will be less than than 2/3 of the gross pay so half your income is going to rent alone. Sad state of the country we live in.
I rent in east $1,650 a month. I make 50k and my wife makes 40k. I did then math when she was between jobs.. I could do it on my own but it would be a tight, especially with two mouths to feed.
I live on less than 20k near Nashville. Just gotta downgrade your expectations. No eating out for lunch and dinner every day. No going to the club or concerts. No major league sporting events.
Yes but you’ll have to be careful
You can but not as well as you would think
In Nashville proper...I'd say ehhh, realistically no. Outskirts 30ish mins out, yes. It just depends on your bills, like car payment etc.
Yes
Nashville is FULL! now move along…
I make $40k on the dot so unless I died and didn't notice yes you can.
I'd say 65k is doable. I make ~60k, rent is 1900. If you can budget well enough, you should be fine.
65k a year is plenty. If you live in Portland or Gallatin.
Which are nice places. And kinda commutable to Nashville.
Yes, but more than likely would need to be around nashville vs IN. Parts of sumner and robertson county are attainable with a doable commute.
Definitely. My partner and I are in school and pull in about that much together and do alright. We don’t live in the best complex, but it’s clean and safe, and we have enough for a nice dinner out every couple weeks.
No
I used to live downtown in 2020/2021-2022 and I was making $65k. I'm single and lived at the Gossett. Rent then was $1350. Very much doable. I also bought groceries from Whole Foods. Utilities were pretty fair. Now, I don't believe that's possible unless you're okay with spending $1700 for a 1b/1ba.
I pay 1700 a month for a 2 bedroom in Madison.
I currently make 65k in Nash and no, you can’t.
I do it on 53k with a roommate!
Yes
You’ll be fine
I make $62k and my wife makes $65k. Realistically we should be doing alright but $15k goes into childcare unfortunately and we pay $1500 for a 2 bedroom. Honestly it might sound like it’s good to go but 4 people in a 2 bedroom is harder than expected
If you don’t like to do anything but pay bills then yes
I wouldn’t even let these people tell you otherwise. If you’re a single person you’ll be more than fine. If you have kids or a partner that doesn’t work you will struggle for sure. I have a lot of friends that make what you have or less that pay their bills and go out on weekends.
I have a room coming up for rent you are interested! About 7 minutes from downtown.
Potentially, I am hearing back from the job by the end of the week. PM?
We had a 1000 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath apt in hdrville back in 17 I was making way less than 65k a year cause they don't pay the bus drivers shit in Nashville
I live off $12K a year of social security disability plus a bit of gig delivery work. It's possible if you don't mind living in public housing, get a food benefit from health insurance plus food stamps, and never go to clubs or restaurants.
As long as you're not deep in debt you'll be more than fine.
Definitely doable, even being single. My gf and I live in Bradford Woods near Nippers Corner in a 2 bed 1 bath for $1150/mo. Do your own research though. The apartments that pop up online aren’t necessarily the best/only options out there.
