Kannapolis, NC Apartments for Rent

Kannapolis, North Carolina, has transformed from its textile mill heritage into a thriving suburban community that maintains its small-town character. Those searching for apartments in Kannapolis will find it conveniently located just 21 miles northeast of Charlotte, with easy access via Interstate 85 and five exits serving the city. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,344, slightly below the North Carolina state average, making it an appealing choice for those seeking value in the greater Charlotte area.
