Apartments Under $1,300 in Dallas
Apartments under $1,300 in Dallas this week: what you can get, how big it is, and where to look. We count free rent, so you see what you'd really pay.
Updated . We update these numbers every week. When a place has a firm free rent offer, its price counts it.
Prices are rent only, before fees, with any firm free rent spread over the lease. How we figure it
What $1,300 a month gets you in Dallas
Right now 742 places have a 1 bedroom at or under $1,300 a month, usually about 660 square feet. 23 of them fit only once free rent is counted, so a place that looks too pricey might not be.
One thing to plan for: community fees for things like trash, pest control, parking and amenities often add $75 to $250 a month on top of rent. Our true monthly cost page helps you add it all up.
Going from $1,200 to $1,300 opens up 197 more places with a 1 bedroom, and 213 places have a 2 bedroom at this price.

"Fit thanks to free rent" means the listed rent is higher, but free rent spread over the lease brings it into your budget. Prices are rent only, before fees. How we get these numbers

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.
