### What rent range can I find in Dallas, TX?

The studio apartment listings we track in Dallas, TX range from $673 to $2,863 per month, as of November 11, 2026. These are the lowest and highest listed prices. They are not a typical price for every apartment. The building, floor plan, and lease terms can affect the price.

### Are rents going up or down in Dallas, TX?

There is not enough comparable history to report a reliable 30-day rent change for studio apartment listings in Dallas, TX. Missing dates or a change in the buildings we track can prevent a comparison. The chart uses recorded prices for studio apartments with a known unit identity. It averages those prices within each building before comparing buildings. Missing history does not mean rents stayed flat.

Studio apartments average $1,309 per month across 811 priced listings in Dallas, TX. Listed rents range from $673 to $2,863 per month, as of November 11, 2026. Compare apartments with similar floor plans and lease terms.

### Which tracked building has the lowest starting rent in Dallas, TX?

The Garrison has the lowest starting rent among the buildings in the comparison table, at $673 per month. We track 1 priced listing matching your bedroom choice in that building, as of November 11, 2026. The starting price applies to its lowest-priced matching apartment. Check that apartment's latest price and availability.

### Which rent range has the most listings in Dallas, TX?

The $1,200 to $1,400 monthly range has the most matching listings: 175 units, or 21.6% of the priced apartments we track in Dallas, TX. This count does not tell us how fast the apartments rent.

### How many apartment listings do you track in Dallas, TX?

We track 811 priced units at 177 apartment buildings, as of November 11, 2026. These are studio apartments. This is not the total number of apartments in those buildings. A listing can change or become unavailable. Open the apartment details to check its latest status.

### How much rent history is available for Dallas, TX?

We have recorded rent data on 37 days from October 2026 through November 2026 for studio apartment listings in Dallas, TX. Some dates can be missing. The chart only shows recorded data. The current month includes the days recorded so far.

### Why can the headline rent differ from the trend chart in Dallas, TX?

The average at the top of the page gives each matching apartment equal weight. The chart first averages recorded prices within each building, then compares buildings. It removes the highest and lowest groups when at least ten buildings contribute and omits days with fewer than five buildings. Different dates, building counts, and listing mixes can produce different figures. The monthly table averages the recorded daily figures.

### Does my bedroom choice change the prices and answers?

Yes. Your chosen area and bedroom count filter the asking rents, listing counts, rent ranges, and answers on this page. The active community exclusions are Student housing and 55+ / senior community and Corporate housing and Military / active duty housing and Veteran housing. When you choose a bedroom count, the history chart uses recorded prices for matching apartments with a known identity. If those records are missing, we leave the chart empty rather than use prices for other bedroom types. Open an individual apartment to check its own price history.

### Do these rents include utilities, parking, and other fees?

We use the published total monthly rent when it is available and the base rent otherwise. Unknown fees are not zero. Utilities, parking, pet charges, deposits, and one-time costs can add to the amount you pay. Check the selected unit and lease terms for a complete quote.

### How should I compare free-rent offers with listed rent?

A free-rent offer can reduce the effective cost over a lease without changing the listed monthly rent. Compare the same lease length and move-in date, then include required charges and the offer conditions. The market averages do not assume an unconfirmed discount.

### Does this page represent every rental in the market?

These figures describe the priced apartment listings we track, not every rental home or every occupied apartment. Coverage and the mix of bedrooms, buildings, and locations can change. A lower market average does not prove that the same apartment received a price cut.

### How fresh are the Dallas, TX rent figures?

We schedule rent updates each day, but buildings can have different price-check dates. The latest accepted price check for these listings was November 11, 2026. The month label does not mean we checked every price today. Open the building or apartment details for its latest price and availability.
