Are 1-bedroom apartments in Montgomery 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 Montgomery, AL?

Furnished 1-bedrooms are available in Montgomery 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 Montgomery?

Most landlords in Montgomery require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a 1-bedroom at Montgomery's current average of $827/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 Montgomery, AL

A 1-bedroom apartment in Montgomery 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 Montgomery, 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery neighborhoods at fair prices move quickly.

Montgomery Neighborhoods for 1-Bedroom Renters

Cloverdale

Cloverdale’s rental inventory includes older apartments, duplexes, and historic single-family homes. Renters can find studios and 1-bedrooms, with some 2-bedrooms. Most units are older builds listed at mid-range prices for the Montgomery area. Because of its many walkable streets with residential character, Cloverdale is known as a pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for young professionals and graduate students. These renters can quickly get to and from work via Fairview Avenue, Norman Bridge Road, and Cater Hill Road.

Midtown Montgomery

With older builds priced close to the city’s average rate of $1,170/mo, Midtown Montgomery has many apartments, condos, historic single-family homes, and smaller multifamily properties. Studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms are most common, and rentals are generally pet-friendly — especially those with walk-up access and yards. Carter Road, Perry Hill Road, and I-85 provide direct access to major employers, making Midtown Montgomery the best for young professionals and healthcare workers. Because rents for studios are often under $1,000, it’s also a good area for budget-conscious renters seeking low costs of living.

Many of the properties are pet-friendly with large floor plans, while some units also have private yards. With easy access to US-80, Bell Road, and I-85, these areas are best for families and professionals seeking multi-bedroom rentals near retail and employment opportunities.

Pike Road/Eastern Suburban Montgomery

Anchored by I-85 and Chantilly Parkway, Pike Road and the eastern edge of suburban Montgomery have new townhomes, single-family homes, and apartments. Most of the inventory consists of 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom pet-friendly units. Homes in these luxury pockets tend to list at prices above the $1,170/mo city average, especially in new master-planned communities. With green spaces, great schools, and short commutes, Pike Road and eastern suburban Montgomery are strong fits for families and professionals with pets.

Garden District/Capitol Heights

The Garden District and Capitol Heights are best known for historic single-family homes, duplexes, and apartments. While most of the inventory consists of older builds, rents are usually in line with or above Montgomery’s typical rate of $1,170/mo. Many of the listings are pet-friendly with yards, larger lots, and green spaces. East Boulevard and Madison Avenue are the primary transit routes, leading to Downtown Montgomery, the Alabama State Capitol area, and local job centers. Overall, these neighborhoods are ideal for professionals, government employees, and renters seeking historic rentals with strong pet acceptance rates.
