The best 1 bedrooms for $1,100 to $1,200
Why our prices are lower than what the community quotes
When a community gives free rent, we spread it over the whole lease and show what you pay a month on average. The community quotes the full rent, and many take the free rent off your first months. You pay the same total either way. Our way lets you compare one deal with another. Fees and the deposit are extra.

What is the typical rent for a 1 bedroom in Dallas right now?
About $1,245 a month after free rent, across the 1,234 places we checked on November 6, 2026. A $1,200 budget is about $45 under that, so you're shopping the lower half of the market.
How much do I need to make for a $1,200 apartment?
Most Dallas properties want your monthly income before taxes to be about 3 times the rent. For $1,200 that's about $3,600 a month, or $43,200 a year. Some take 2.5 times, about $3,000 a month. Each property sets its own rule. We look it up and tell you before you pay an application fee.
Does $1,200 include fees and utilities?
No. These prices are rent only, after any firm free rent. Community fees for things like trash, pest control, parking and amenities often add $75 to $250 a month, and in most Dallas apartments you set up your own electricity.

Yes. 275 of the 545 places that fit have free rent or another deal this week. Our prices already count firm free rent, spread over the lease.
