This is a short, recurring look at where Chattanooga rents stand and how a room at Gladewood Commons compares. Each installment is dated, so you can see how current it is.
This month's numbers
Chattanooga's overall average rent is $1,476/month in RentCafe's latest data, which covers August 2026. That's down about 0.33% from the year before, according to RentCafe's market data. That's the same figure RentCafe showed for last month's check-in; the underlying data hasn't moved yet this cycle, so we're reporting it as unchanged. Studio and one-bedroom rates vary well above and below that citywide figure depending on neighborhood, building age, and season.
Where Gladewood Commons sits
- Private room: $850–$1,100/month, utilities, Wi-Fi, and furnishings included
- Shared room: $550–$650/month, same inclusions
Both sit below the citywide average rent, and both already include utilities and furnishings, which most of the rents behind that figure don’t. For the full breakdown of what that comparison looks like once you account for setup costs, see The Real Cost of Co-Living.
