Load moreFrom prominent cities and mountain towns to neighborhoods on the coast, North Carolina rentals are all over this oasis in the South. Renters migrating from more expensive states like New York, Florida, and California seek out North Carolina rentals for warmer weather and lower housing costs. Additionally, job growth drives demand for the finance, technology, and healthcare industries across the state. And with Fort Liberty and Camp Lejeune, military families often choose the Tar Heel State. Short-term renters also generate seasonal demand for North Carolina rentals near the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Rents vary across the state, with an average price gap ranging from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000/mo. Major cities and coastal communities have the highest prices, while small inland cities and northeastern towns offer affordable apartments in North Carolina. From resort-style rentals in Asheville to cabins in Boone, Rentler lists 10,502 rental properties across North Carolina — updated with new listings every day.

Based on 2,559 active Rentler listings in North Carolina. Updated daily.
Retirees and remote workers have the most flexibility, making it easier for them to access the lowest rents in North Carolina. These renters can look in rural, inland areas outside of major tourist destinations and commercial job hubs. Typically, renters find well-priced homes and cheap apartments in North Carolina throughout areas like Rocky Mount, Lumberton, and Goldsboro. Properties in these low-cost regions are usually older, but larger than the inventory in major cities. By choosing these affordable areas, renters often save up to $500–$1,200/mo in housing costs.
Even though price points vary based on city, the average cost for North Carolina rentals is $1,610/mo. Asheville is the most expensive market, with one-bedroom rentals going for $1,392/mo, and two-bedroom properties costing about $1,768/mo. Rocky Mount is one of the most affordable regions, with one-bedroom units running around $862/mo, and two-bedroom units listing at $1,066/mo.
North Carolina has strong pet acceptance due to its suburban neighborhoods and green spaces. Most houses for rent in North Carolina are single-family homes on private plots of land, and many properties have acreage. As a result, it’s easier for renters with multiple pets and large dogs to find rentals. When it comes to dense urban buildings and pet-friendly apartments, North Carolina renters may run into restrictions on breed and weight. Reach out and ask the property manager about pet policies directly to avoid confusion. If you have a service animal or an emotional support animal (ESA), let the landlord know early.
With many retirement communities in North Carolina’s healthcare corridors, metros, and suburban areas, senior housing is a strong part of the rental market. For assisted living communities, income-restricted properties, and 55+ senior housing, North Carolina renters should apply early to get ahead of long waitlists. Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington are great markets to look in. If you’re on a tight timeline, look into communities in secondary cities or across inland regions.
Tourists and traveling professionals generate consistent demand for short-term and furnished rentals. North Carolina’s primary markets for flexible leases and move-in-ready units are Cary, Asheville, and Durham. Additionally, areas with colleges and healthcare facilities also have these types of apartments, homes, and North Carolina townhouse rentals. To zero in on short-term and furnished listings, try combining Rentler’s ‘furnished amenities’ and ‘lease length’ filters.
The fastest way to find luxury North Carolina rentals is to combine Rentler’s ‘year built’ filter with the sorting tool that organizes listings by price. Most high-end North Carolina apartments and homes are new builds with high rents, located across Dilworth, Mayfaire, and Biltmore Park. These units usually include resort-style pools, rooftop areas, modern interiors, and mountain views.
