A Ranch House in the Country

In the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, this budget affords you a three-bedroom detached house with lots of yard space. The ranch-style home is introduced by a front porch and patio and has an updated interior beneath a pitched roof. On one side of the house, the deep living room leads to the eat-in kitchen, which is appointed in butcher block and has a stainless steel double sink and oven hood. The house also has a rear deck and a two-car parking pad. Also, the "country" description in the headline is a bit misleading; Germantown is very walkable and far from rural.

• Rent: $2,600/month
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Feet: 1,380
