The $1,200 to $1,400 monthly range has the largest listing count in the price distribution: 2,631 units, or 18.0% of this view's priced listings. This shows where listings cluster; it does not measure how fast those units lease.
How many apartment listings does this Dallas, TX view cover?
This view includes 14,581 priced units at 637 apartment communities, in the October 2026 page snapshot. A listing count is not a count of all apartments in those buildings or proof that each unit is still available. Check the selected unit for its latest status.
How much rent history is available for Dallas, TX?
This view has 203 dated daily observations from March 2026 through October 2026. These observations do not guarantee an unbroken daily record. Chart windows use the history that exists; missing observations do not supply earlier prices. The current month is a month-to-date reading.
Why can the headline rent differ from the trend chart in Dallas, TX?
The headline averages the priced units in this listing view, so each unit contributes equally. The daily chart averages recorded building-level asking rents, removes the highest and lowest groups when at least ten buildings contribute, and omits days with fewer than five buildings. Different weights, dates, and listing mixes can produce different figures. The monthly table averages the daily readings where that table is shown.
Do the answers change when I select an area or bedroom type?
The listing averages, ranges, counts, and bedroom answers use this page's selected area and bedroom filters. The historical chart uses building-level records; a bedroom selection restricts the buildings, but those records still combine their bedroom types. A building's individual unit history is the better view for a specific apartment.
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-data updates each day, but individual buildings can have different observation dates. The latest accepted observation in this view is October 18, 2026. The page's month label is not proof that every price was checked today. Open the building or unit page for its latest price and availability.
