About the Area

Located in western Tennessee about a half-hour from Jackson, the city of Milan was originally named after Milan, Italy when it was established in the 1850s. In the years since, this town has retained its historic charm, with sites like the Milan Army Ammunition Plant, the West Tennessee Agricultural Museum and Union Central School listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Milan is home to approximately 7,800 people, providing many basic services and community events while retaining its small-town feel. Many of the city’s shopping and dining options are located along S. 1st Street (US-45E), Milan’s main north-south artery. More shopping and dining options can be easily reached in nearby Jackson.

Situated in northeastern Tennessee in the famed Tri-Cities area, the city of Kingsport is home to over 300,000 people, offering plenty of shopping, dining, and things to do. If you’re looking for affordable housing near Kingsport, TN, here are five things you can do to narrow your search.

Determine your budget

First things first: you need to know how much you can afford in rent. Optimally, your rent should be between 25 and 30 percent of your total monthly income (including you, your spouse, roommates, etc). Any more than this, and you could run into financial difficulty trying to make rent.

Qualify for affordable housing options

If you’re concerned about affording rent in Kingsport, don’t despair: there are a number of affordable housing options available. If your income is low (or if you’re on a fixed income), you may qualify for certain designated low-income properties or subsidized income-restricted housing, which gives you access to affordable options others might not get. Check with the Kingsport Housing and Redevelopment Authority to see if you qualify.

Determine the amenities you want or need

Once you know your budget and have qualified for low-income housing, make a list of amenities or features you want or need. (For example, the number of bedrooms, equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, central air, laundry, clubhouse, etc.) One idea is to make two lists — a “must have” list and a “nice to have” list. Look for properties that have most or all of your “must have” items and perhaps some things on your “nice to have” list. You might not tick every box on both lists, but you’ll be able to keep track of the properties that come close.

Look at different neighborhoods

What part of town do you want to live in? Do you need to be close to work, or to public transportation? Narrow your search down to a few Kingsport neighborhoods within your budget or price point.

Look at apartments within your budget

Finally, narrow your search down to a few apartment complexes, go to those properties and take a tour. Get a feel for the community and note how many features and amenities tick the boxes on your lists.
