One 2026 tracker cites Hendersonville's average apartment rent at $1,563/month, up a modest 0.19% year-over-year; a separate tracker instead cites an overall median rent of $1,377/month as of July 2026, up 0.7% month-over-month. Both figures point toward a comparatively stable rental market rather than one with sharp cross-source disagreement on direction.
Rent by unit size
One tracker cites: studio $1,244/month, one-bedroom $1,361/month (742 sqft), two-bedroom $1,621/month (1,086 sqft), and three-bedroom $2,010/month (1,393 sqft). The largest share of Hendersonville rentals (53%) falls in the $1,001-$1,500/month range, per the same source.
City-centre vs. outside-centre rent gap
A cost-of-living source specifically cited a one-bedroom apartment averaging $1,475/month in the city centre versus $1,265/month outside the centre -- a real, if more modest, premium for central proximity compared to some other markets in this dataset.
How that compares to owning, and to Murfreesboro
Given Hendersonville's $511,622 median home sale price (see housing-market) -- meaningfully above Murfreesboro's $405,000 -- renting a comparable unit generally remains a lower monthly commitment than owning at current prices, and Hendersonville's rent figures run only modestly above Murfreesboro's ($1,572/month RentCafe average), a smaller gap than the two cities' home-price difference would suggest.
Key takeaways

- By unit size, one source cites $1,244 for a studio, $1,361 for a one-bedroom, $1,621 for a two-bedroom, and $2,010 for a three-bedroom, with 53% of rentals falling in the $1,001-$1,500/month range.
- A one-bedroom in the city centre runs a real, if modest, premium over outside-centre units: $1,475/month vs. $1,265/month, per one source.
