Is a 1-bedroom or studio apartment a better value in Auburn?

In Auburn, 1-bedrooms average $1,136/mo versus $1,999/mo for a studio. For solo renters on a tight budget, compare both filters on Rentler before applying. If you work from home or spend significant time in your apartment, the extra separation of a larger unit may be worth the difference.

Are 1-bedroom apartments in Auburn pet-friendly?

Pet policies on 1-bedroom apartments vary by landlord and building — there's no blanket rule. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow your search, then confirm breed, weight, and deposit requirements directly with the landlord before applying.

Can I find furnished 1-bedrooms in Auburn, AL?

Furnished 1-bedrooms are available in Auburn but represent a smaller share of total inventory compared to unfurnished units. Use Rentler's furnished filter to surface move-in-ready options. Furnished units are most common in newer construction buildings and in complexes that cater to corporate or short-term renters.

How much should I earn to rent a 1-bedroom in Auburn?

Most landlords in Auburn require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a 1-bedroom at Auburn's current average of $1,136/mo, that means demonstrating roughly 2.5–3x that amount in gross income. If you're below that threshold, a co-signer, larger security deposit, or prepaid rent may be accepted by some landlords — always worth asking.

What to Know Before Renting a 1-Bedroom Apartment in Auburn, AL

A 1-bedroom apartment in Auburn hits the sweet spot for most solo renters and couples — enough space to have a real living room and a separated sleep area, without the cost of a 2-bedroom you don't fully use. For remote workers, a 1-bedroom is often the minimum viable setup: you can close a door between your workspace and your living space, which matters more than most people expect before they try working from a studio. When evaluating 1-bedrooms in Auburn, pay attention to bedroom size (some 1-bedrooms are technically 1-bedrooms with a bedroom that fits a queen bed and nothing else), closet space, and whether the kitchen opens to the living room or is walled off. In-unit laundry, a parking spot, and a dedicated storage unit are the three amenities most renters wish they'd prioritized when they didn't have them. 1-bedrooms in Auburn also tend to have the most competitive rental market of any unit type — more supply than studios, but more demand than 2-bedrooms, which means good 1-bedrooms in desirable Auburn neighborhoods at fair prices move quickly.

Auburn Neighborhoods for 1-Bedroom Renters

Downtown Auburn

Downtown Auburn’s apartments, condos, and small multifamily communities consist of studios and 1-bedrooms, with a few 2-bedrooms. Most buildings are older and generally pet-friendly, with rents aligned with Auburn's average rate of $1,953/mo. College Street and Magnolia Avenue connect to Auburn University shuttles and I-85. Downtown’s walkability makes it one of the best places to rent in Auburn, AL, for college students, faculty, and young professionals who want to avoid a daily commute.

Auburn University/Campus Edge

Most rentals in Auburn University and Campus Edge are dominated by student apartments, furnished units, condos, and townhomes, and are roommate-friendly, with 2- and 3+ bedrooms. There are also a few studios and 1-bedrooms. Most units are new builds or heavily renovated and are listed at prices above the $1,953/mo city average. The area is very pet-friendly, with many dog parks. The Auburn University Tiger Transit routes connect to apartment complexes near campus. The neighborhood is best for college students and roommates seeking furnished rentals near campus and nightlife.

North Donahue Corridor

New construction units built after 2010 in the North Donahue Corridor consist of apartments, townhomes, and student housing. 2-bedrooms and 3+ bedroom roommate-style rentals hover at prices above the $1,953/mo city average, alongside the few 1-bedroom units. The pet-friendly neighborhood includes dog parks, walking trails, and fewer pet restrictions than official campus housing. North Donahue Drive offers direct access to Auburn University Tiger Transit and I-85, making it ideal for Auburn University students and young renters seeking pet amenities and shuttle connections.

Moores Mill

With single-family homes, townhomes, and a few apartments, Moores Mill consists mostly of spacious 3+ bedroom rentals. The majority of the inventory consists of new builds constructed after 2010 and late-2000s developments. 1-bedroom units are above Auburn’s average price of $1,953/mo, but most rentals are 3+ bedrooms — so expect high rents. Moores Mill Road, Shug Jordan Parkway, and I-85 lead to Auburn University, Downtown Auburn, and Opelika. With less walkability and higher prices, Moores Mill is best for families, university staff, and professionals seeking large pet-friendly places for rent in Auburn with yard space.

Grove Hill/West Auburn

With 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom townhomes, condos, and single-family homes, rentals in Grove Hill and West Auburn are mostly mid-era to new builds listed at prices above the $1,953/mo city average. Many units are pet-friendly, especially townhouses and homes with outdoor space. Renters typically take Wire Road and Shug Jordan Parkway to Auburn University, Downtown Auburn, and the I-85. However, many students take the Auburn University Tiger Transit for their daily commute. Grove Hill is a great neighborhood for graduate students, high-income families, and university staff looking for places to rent in Auburn.
