Coming to Nashville
Your own room. A real house. People to come home to.
Open Chord is a new co-living brand in Nashville. Each home pairs a private, furnished bedroom with shared kitchens and living space, all in one simple monthly payment. Our first homes are on the way.
How it works
Three steps to a key.
Join the waitlist
Tell us when you're moving, what you're looking for and what you'd like to spend. It takes about two minutes.
See the home
As homes open, you get photos, room rents and a time to tour, in person or by video. Pick the room that fits.
Move in
Apply, sign your lease and move into a furnished room in a house that's already set up and running.
What every home is built around
Live better than you could on your own.
Exact features, rents and what's included are listed with each home before it opens.
A private room
Your own furnished bedroom with a door that locks. Bring your clothes and your things.
Shared spaces done right
Full kitchens, real living rooms and outdoor space, kept clean and stocked with the basics.
One monthly payment
Rent and the core bills together, so you're not opening five accounts in a new city.
Flexible terms
Lease options for people who are new in town and for people who plan to stay a while.
Managed for you
Repairs, cleaning of shared areas and house rules handled by a team you can reach.
Close to work
Homes near the neighborhoods, hospitals, campuses and venues where Nashville works.
Who it's for
Built for the people who keep Nashville running.
A lot of people move here for a job, a program or a shot at something, and end up paying a lot for a little. We'd rather put you in a great house with good people.
- Nurses, residents and hospital staff
- Musicians, crew and people in the industry
- People starting a new job in town
- Graduate students and young professionals
- Anyone who'd rather share a great house than rent a small apartment alone

Questions
The short answers.
What is co-living?
You rent your own private bedroom in a shared house. The kitchen, living room and other common spaces are shared with your housemates, and the house is furnished and run for you. It's a way to live somewhere better than you could on your own, with less to set up.
Who will I live with?
Other adults who apply and are approved the same way, using the same written criteria for everyone. We follow fair housing law in every step.
What does it cost?
Each home lists its room rents when it opens. Your rent covers your room and the shared spaces, and we'll spell out exactly which utilities and services are included before you sign anything.
How long are the leases?
We plan to offer more than one lease length so the house works for people who are new in town and people who plan to stay. Terms are listed with each home.
Can I see a home first?
Yes. When a home opens, everyone on the waitlist gets photos, room rents and a time to tour, in person or by video.
I own a house that might work. Who do I talk to?
Start on the owners page. Tell us about the property and we'll reply with a plain answer on whether it fits.
