Prices are rent only, before fees, with any firm free rent spread over the lease. How we figure it
Why this matters
Two apartments can cost the same and be very different sizes. Price per square foot shows which one gives you more room for your money. Across Dallas, a typical 1 bedroom costs about $1.85 a square foot this week. In Pleasant Grove it's $1.30. In Uptown it's $2.90.
Tip: smaller homes usually cost more per foot, so compare the same size to the same size.
