The monthly fees for a studio apartment stand at $5,125, which is notably higher than the average rates in both Blount County ($4,044) and across Tennessee ($3,485). For those considering a one-bedroom unit, Brookdale's rate of $5,450 also exceeds the county's average of $3,766 and the state average of $3,592.
