Cookeville Apartments and Houses for Rent by Price: Find Your Perfect Home

Renting in Cookeville offers many options, especially if you are not sure where to start or how much space you will really get for your money. Whether you are a TTU student, a young professional, a growing family, or someone relocating to the Upper Cumberland, grouping rentals by price makes it much easier to compare your options. 

This guide organizes Cookeville apartments and homes into four price ranges and highlights Putnam Properties communities that fall within each bracket. You will learn what to expect at each price point, which range best fits your needs, and how to move quickly in an increasingly competitive market. 

How to Use This Price Guide 

Think of this guide as a starting map, not a rigid rulebook: 

• Use the price ranges to understand what kind of space, finishes, and amenities are common at each budget. 

• Look for the featured communities that match your lifestyle, commute, and stage of life. 

• Pay attention to availability notes. In Cookeville, specific price points, especially under $1,000, move very quickly. 

• When you see a property that fits your range, be ready to apply, schedule a tour, or join a waitlist. 

Cookeville Rentals Grouped by Price 

Under $1,000 per Month 

Affordable and Highly Competitive Student-Friendly Rentals 

Apartments under $1,000 are the hardest to find and keep on your favorites list. In Cookeville, units at this price often receive multiple inquiries almost immediately, especially if they are near Tennessee Tech University or include utilities. 

If your budget is under $1,000, timing and preparation are everything. 

Featured community in this range: Dixie Place Apartments 

Dixie Place student apartments are a prime example of what renters look for in this bracket: 

• Convenient location near TTU 

• Simple, efficient layout that keeps costs low 

• Student-focused features such as included utilities and easy access to campus and local food spots 

Dixie Place is ideal for: 

• TTU students who want to walk or have a short drive to campus 

• First-time renters who want manageable space and predictable monthly costs

Because of the location and value, units at Dixie Place rarely stay available for long. Many students plan ahead by watching listings early, contacting the leasing office, and getting applications ready well before their ideal lease start date. 

What this price range usually includes

• Studio or one-bedroom apartments

Older two-bedroom units occasionally appear in this bracket, but they are claimed quickly.
