Based on Yardi Matrix data \u2014 and a bit of research \u2014 we\u2019ve highlighted the cities where apartments offer the most and least bang for your buck.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that North Carolina is a great place to call home, as most cities here offer rather spacious apartments. On average, you can get 950 sq. ft. of living space for $1,200 in the state, considerably more than the 711 sq. ft. you can rent for the same amount in the top 100 most populous cities. This means that North Carolina apartments offer 34% more space for the same price.<\/p>\n<p>We put together the following infographic, which compares apartment sizes in the 36 North Carolina cities included in our study. The size of the tiles represents the actual proportion of apartment space available for $1,200.<\/p>\n<p><script id=\"infogram_0_5cd48508-36f9-4821-9c05-f57e0f697b29\" title=\"Copy: How much you can rent NC\" src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed.js?hLE\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the state, the size of apartments you can rent on a $1,200 budget varies from 794 sq. ft. in Chapel Hill to almost 40% more space in High Point (1,266). Notably, although they fall on opposite ends of our ranking, these two North Carolina cities are only 60 miles apart in the center of the state.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top 5 Cities with Most Apartment Space for $1,200<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>High Point, located in the Greensboro metro, is where you can find the most apartment space in the state, of 1,266 sq. ft., for that fixed amount. The city has an average rent of $906 \u2014 one of the lowest in North Carolina \u2014 making this community of almost 112,000 people an affordable and desirable place to live in.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, $1,200 can also pay for generous amounts of square footage in other cities, like Asheboro (1,221) \u2014 which is close to High Point and Greensboro \u2014, as well as Statesville (1,220), a city 50 miles outside of Charlotte. Salisbury and Clemmons also made the top 5, with 1,219 sq. ft. and 1,215 sq. ft., respectively.<\/p>\n<p>All of these cities boast local average rents between $803 and $947 \u2014 below the state\u2019s average \u2014 making them great choices for those looking for ample apartment space and lower rents.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top 5 Cities with Least Apartment Space for $1,200<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Conversely, the least space you can get for the same money in North Carolina is usually in cities where rents are higher, but overall the quality of apartments is better and they are generally considered to be more desirable locations. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/apartments-for-rent\/chapel-hill-nc\/\">Chapel Hill apartments<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 where rents go for an average of $1,459 a month \u2014 offer around 794 sq. ft. for $1,200.<\/p>\n<p>Next up are Charlotte and Matthews \u2014 located only 11 miles from one another in Charlotte metro \u2014 are both among the cities in the state where you get less space for that money, but you&#8217;ll live in some of the most sought-after locations. Specifically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/apartments-for-rent\/charlotte-nc\/\">Charlotte apartments<\/a> come with 874 sq. ft. and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/apartments-for-rent\/matthews-nc\/\">Matthews apartments<\/a>, with only 891 sq. ft. for the monthly rent of $1,200.<\/p>\n<p>The top 5 is closed by Huntersville and Raleigh where the same amount will get you smaller apartments of 896 sq. ft. and 905 sq. ft., respectively. So, if you do decide to choose one of these cities, know that you\u2019ll need to shell out between $1,255 and $1,459 for the monthly rent. On the plus side, you\u2019ll be enjoying better locations in most of them, so that\u2019s definitely something worth considering.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What You Can Rent for $1,200 in the 3 Largest North Carolina Metros<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s how much space you can get for $1,200 in North Carolina\u2019s top three largest metros:<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"92b0d261-8671-4e2e-860f-15d259b24969\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"NC: Slides How much you can rent\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0<strong>Charlotte metro,<\/strong> Statesville apartments tend to offer more living space for that money.
