Asheville, NC Apartments for Rent

Asheville sits where the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers meet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with Art Deco buildings, plenty of artists, and the famous Biltmore Estate drawing visitors year-round. When you're looking for apartments for rent in Asheville, you'll discover everything from sleek downtown apartment communities to cool converted spaces in the River Arts District-expect to pay about $1,269 for a studio or $1,700 for a two-bedroom.

Renting in Asheville means you're minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway adventures and mountain trails, plus walkable neighborhoods like West Asheville and South Slope packed with breweries, restaurants, and galleries. The River Arts District fills old warehouses with working artist studios, while Biltmore Village serves up shopping and dining with historic charm. Getting around downtown is a breeze, and UNC Asheville brings extra energy to the scene. With I-40 and I-26 connecting you to the rest of Western North Carolina, you get mountain living without giving up easy access to work and play throughout the region.
