Tennessee rent prices are rising. See where rents have increased the most in 2026

Rental prices across Tennessee have been on the uphill for most of the past decade, and the average price continues to approach $2,000 per month. The data from the Zillow Observed Rent Index for June 2026 shows most Tennessee cities saw a significant increase since the start of 2026, with the largest increase coming from Gallatin. Bartlett, a suburb of Memphis, and Mount Juliet, a suburb of Nashville, were the only two cities where the rent went down between January and June 2026. All other measured cities had an increase. There were 18 total cities across the Volunteer State that were measured in the study for June 2026. The Zillow data uses a weighted formula to reflect the broader rental market, rather than just what’s currently listed for rent on its website, while also incorporating a three-month moving average to reflect trends over time.

Two Corners of America: Northeast Tennessee and Northwest Arkansas

Every other week during dental school, I meet students rotating through the Kingsport Dental Clinic, a partnership with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Most people associate UT with Knoxville, but its health sciences programs—including dentistry—are based in Memphis. Arkansas has a private dental school but no public one, so the state provides 23 entering places each year for Arkansas residents at UT—roughly one of every six students in a new class.
