The best 1 bedrooms for $1,400 to $1,500
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.

How much do I need to make for a $1,500 apartment?
Most Dallas properties want your monthly income before taxes to be about 3 times the rent. For $1,500 that's about $4,500 a month, or $54,000 a year. Some take 2.5 times, about $3,750 a month. Each property sets its own rule. We look it up and tell you before you pay an application fee.
Does $1,500 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.
