Is Clarksville a Good Place to Invest in Rental Property?

Clarksville, TN has a population of 168,050 and has been growing at 2% annually — above the national average, suggesting steady demand pressure on housing. The median home price of $265,000 paired with median rents of $1,380/mo produces an estimated cap rate of 4.52%.

Property taxes at 0.58% are well below the national average of ~1.1%, providing a meaningful cash flow advantage many investors overlook. The vacancy rate of 5.6% is moderate and within normal parameters for a healthy rental market.

At a price-to-income ratio of 5.1x, homes cost about 5.1 times the local median income of $52,400. This moderate ratio indicates a balanced rent-vs-buy market. Home values have appreciated at roughly 3.1% annually. Steady appreciation means total returns will be primarily cash flow-driven — the more sustainable model for long-term wealth building.

Bottom line: Clarksville presents moderate opportunities. Cap rates near 4.52% mean deals need careful sourcing — look for value-add rehabs or emerging neighborhoods where rents are climbing.
