Apartments Under $2,000 in Dallas

Apartments under $2,000 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 $2,000 a month gets you in Dallas

Right now 1164 places have a 1 bedroom at or under $2,000 a month, usually about 670 square feet. 1 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 $1,900 to $2,000 opens up 59 more places with a 2 bedroom.

How much do I need to make for a $2,000 apartment?

Most Dallas properties want your monthly income before taxes to be about 3 times the rent. For $2,000 that's about $6,000 a month, or $72,000 a year. Some take 2.5 times, about $5,000 a month. Each property sets its own rule. We look it up and tell you before you pay an application fee.

Does $2,000 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.

Are there move-in specials at this budget?

Yes. 594 of the 1,220 places that fit have free rent or another deal this week. Our prices already count firm free rent, spread over the lease.
