Columbia, TN Houses for Rent

Columbia is the county seat of Maury County and proudly calls itself the "mule capital of the world," celebrating this heritage each April during the city-designated Mule Day festival. This city of nearly 49,000 residents is part of the Nashville metropolitan area and features one of the last two surviving residences of James Knox Polk, the 11th President of the United States. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Columbia, you'll discover plenty of options, with average monthly rents around $1,294 for a one-bedroom and $1,415 for a two-bedroom apartment, making it a budget-friendly alternative to nearby Nashville.

Renting in Columbia comes with several perks for those wanting Middle Tennessee access without the high price tag. Located about 45 miles south of Nashville via Interstate 65, the city offers a manageable commute for Nashville workers who prefer a quieter lifestyle. Columbia and Maury County hold the title of "Antebellum Homes Capital of Tennessee," giving the area distinctive historical charm. With a median household income of $57,334 and a population density of around 1,358 people per square mile across its 36 square miles, Columbia strikes a nice balance between small-town living and easy access to shopping, dining, and job opportunities both locally and throughout the greater Nashville region.
