How many rentals under $1,500 are available in Auburn right now?

What types of units can I find under $1,500 in Auburn?

At the under $1,500 price point in Auburn, use the bedroom and property-type filters to narrow to studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, houses, or townhomes. Availability shifts daily — set a listing alert if you want to catch new units as they post.

What's the difference between cheap, affordable, and low-income apartments?

These terms refer to different things. Cheap or affordable apartments are market-rate units at the lower end of a city's price range — anyone can apply regardless of income. Low-income or income-restricted apartments are subsidized properties (through programs like Section 8, HUD, or LIHTC) that require income qualification, typically at or below 50–80% of the area median income. Both types may appear on Rentler — contact landlords directly on lower-priced listings to ask about income requirements and subsidy acceptance.

Are there pet-friendly rentals under $1,500 in Auburn?

Pet-friendly rentals exist across all price tiers. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow to properties that accept animals. At lower price points, pet deposits and monthly pet rent still apply — factor that into your total monthly cost when budgeting. Breed and weight restrictions are common even on pet-accepting listings.

Can I negotiate rent in Auburn?

Yes — especially on market-rate listings with individual landlords, which make up a significant share of Rentler's inventory. Negotiating leverage is highest in winter (November through January), when fewer people are searching and landlords are more motivated to fill vacancies. Offering a longer lease term, a larger security deposit, or the ability to move in quickly are the most effective negotiating levers.

Affordable Rentals by Auburn Neighborhood

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 $1,983/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 $1,983/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 $1,983/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 $1,983/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.

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 $1,983/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.
