    The only thing you can get for $500 in most major cities in America is a big ass storage unit or a garage…. For your car.

      That $500 is why so many people are moving to my state, but that amount will buy you an apartment with mold/ roaches. $800, and above will get anyone a nice apartment in Dallas or Houston. Never mind coming as we are overcrowded.😅😅😅

      Your definitely right about that! I'm a leasing consultant at a community in North Carolina & I always show the actual apartment before I sit down with my new lease holders & do their leasing contract. I know how some of the "Sketchy" places do business & that's not the way to get new residents & actually keep them in your community!! Also.. If someone is being completely rude & disrespectful of your time when you come in to tour a new apartment just imagine how they will act when you're a resident there!! Good luck on your apartment search

      You're right. I remember asking a leasing agent if it were a lot of kids living in the community. She told me it was illegal to answer that question. I wasn't happy about that because I prefer a more single adult community, not family oriented (kids & teens). Now, I've figured out ways to get that answer without asking.

      @@tayperez113 It starts with the amenities. The less entertainment the better. You mainly want a resort style pool, fitness center, coffee bar, exec center & dog park. Anything else is more things for kids to do. Never tour an apartment with a playground! Let the leasing agent do most of the talking, just be super nice and friendly. The more they talk, the more details they give. Most importantly, ask about community activities/ events. This is when you'll get your answer. Listen for kid friendly events vs general. If you're still unsure, ask specific questions about holiday events, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, 4th of July, etc.
      Added tips: tour between 3-5p on school days & mid afternoon on Saturdays. If a 2-bdrm in the area is going for $1,200, you want to tour apts that have 2-bdrms going for $1,500+. Most parents go for more affordable. The higher priced 2 bedrooms tend to be young professional/ roommate friendly. Start with a short-term lease.
      Following these tips, I haven't had an issue since 2016.

    I want to say that sometimes when you look at the model apartments be sure to ask them if the apartment you may be renting is in the same condition as the one you saw. I had a bait and switch done to me a couple of times. The one I looked at ones so nice, clean and perfect....the day I went to move into my new apartment it was more like a hud home...NO carpet, linoleum peeled up in spots, a huge hump in the floor, the patio door didn't slide open, no screen on the door. Was on a different floor. Paint was peeling, bathroom sink, cabinet and tub were all painted with wall paint, the toilet was coming out of the floor. I'm serious. From day to night difference.

      I was lucky to get an apartment that was as good as the model. When I finally got the keys, the cleaning crew was still there that morning and the building manager reassured me, “Don’t worry, it’s going to look just like the model.” They did a great job! Unfortunately, when I went to help my mom move (in another city) her new apartment looked like no one had lived there in months and wasn’t clean at all.

      As they say buyer beware although its renter beware in this case , do your homework most often the showing apartment usually up to code ect. but before you move in make sure do what I call a rental walk through and ask them to make and repairs necessary or fix i t yourself then take the costs and either present a bill or take it off the next months rent then ask for the corporate office number ( most companies do )and make your complaints.

    I’m from the DFW area and if you want a nice apartment in a secure environment you’re going to at LEAST be paying $1,000. The only way around it is student living (you don’t have to be a student) and you’re renting by the room, or low income housing which typically has a wait list. Be very careful, there are nice parts of Dallas-Fort Worth and also very sketch neighborhoods. I was once in a shooting over there and didn’t realize I was in a bad area.

    Anything decent in the uptown area will cost you from 1300-1700 for studios and 1 bedrooms. Decent apts in north dallas will probably be around 1100-1300. I moved from there to San Diego and got a brand new studio for 1650 which isn't that far off from the prices you pay in Dallas. But now I have better weather and almost double pay increase. Prices for apts in Dallas are rising so fast that the employers there need to start paying more to afford to live there. It used to be cheap in Dallas but those days are gone.

      Very true, and that’s what all of these “newbies” are not looking at. The housing is unsustainable in Texas, it is a bubble like how there was a bubble back in 2008, and like all bubbles, it will burst, my guess is sooner rather than later although no economist knows the exact timeframe. Employers and wages down here are stagnant and are not keeping up with the very rapid increase in housing costs, both for rental and home ownership so it’s a very volatile market right now. I was born and raised in this area, the last time rents were $500 anything was back around 2010-2012 or so, those days are long gone. I just hate that people who aren’t from Texas or the area, they are up and moving here, not realizing it’s the “calm before the storm” but, Texas will not be their safe haven, long-term, more than likely

      Yeah, there is some misconceptions about Dallas and Texas in general. Lots of great people are moving here but they think or have been told to expect a giant lot and home (if buying) and similar with the rentals. First, there is more demand than supply w/ the fleeing of people toTexas, Florida, Tennessee, etc. Builders are also running into extreme material pricing jack ups that have caused some to “edit” their contracts and obligations w/ a “sue me” attitude. That is rare but getting more common and you can’t get them to guarantee a completion date at this point. This will get sorted but be patient and aware of market conditions and you will be awarded in the long run. Welcome to Texas, we love good neighbors here-bring your families, drive safe, we’ll leave the light on for you.

      Well guess where they all ran to 😤 my TH
      it took me to three months to get rid of those critters…and thus far they haven’t returned
      so yes … they come with not keeping yo’ house clean - ppl think that being poor means an infestation of roaches, rats, etc.
      No no no, it actually comes from filth, so, cook the food, eat at the table, and clean up after breakfast/lunch/dinner and put left overs in the frig
      Wipe down the kitchen counters, Sweep and mop the floor at the end of the day…put the trash out
      Also Do-not litter - some of you will throw your trash next to a garbage can 🤨 like the city is going to send someone to clean behind your nasty 😷 arse (yep)
      Here’s what I’m saying if you keep clean and your neighbors keep clean -hello you don’t have to deal with roaches, rat and other critters…
      I’ve been to several parts of the world and some places are so clean you could literally eat off the ground….
      and for those who say they don’t have time to clean well if you’re watching more then an hour of tv, FB, YT, IG, Reels, TT oh you got time 😏

      @@amilliontubes123 no, the last place i lived in had roaches no matter what. I'm very clean. I never leave food out. I always wipe up any spills. I never wear shoes inside. Roaches are attracted to water. They're called water bugs. If your old apartment has an inferior plumbing system you're going to get roaches. It even had drain flies and spiders. I would see 5 to 10 roaches a day that eventually i got use to them. I would see 5 to 7 spiders a day because i guess they they were there to eat roaches. I would get spiders in my bed a lot. Giant spiders. And my mom said she saw roaches before moving in, but she didn't have a choice. We're in California. Everything is expensive. If you can get something for $1,500 you jump on it before it's too late. We've even been homeless for a bit because of how competitive it is to find an apartment. Larvae would crawl up from the toilet then grow into flies and fly around! Toilet flies! One of my neighbors tried to start a petition and had people sign. I saw the owner once and he was very pompous and delusional and treated the tenants like we were the enemy. He even painted the apartments a depressing gray color so that it felt more like a prison. I'm so happy we were able to move. We stayed their way too long. I hope they got sued.

    Damn once upon a time living in Dallas was more expensive than Arlington. Now Arlington apartment minimum is $1300…for a ONE BEDROOM. And yes, that’s TAA regulation that apartment reps can’t tell you stats on safety or demographics of the complex. Not strange at all. That’s how it’s been for the last 20 + years. It’s a liability because they can be sued if the stats they share make you believe it’s safe and you happen to experience crime/violence while living there. All they can tell you is to check stats yourself, come to complex at different times of day to get a feel, tell you if they have an on-site officer living there and tell you if they run background checks on residents. About the comment of $500 for a mansion…while is Dallas folks think our apt and home prices aren’t cheap, cost of living in L.A, San Fran, NYC, Chicago are astronomical compared to here. The apartment size you showed is easily $2000 to $3000 a month in Cali and NYC at best! Additionally, a small bungalow type house in the damn hood in L.A. lists for $300,000 to $500,000 honey. That kind of price tag can get you a 5 bedroom 2,000+ sq ft, 2 story home BRAND NEW in Dallas/Ft Worth. Let’s count our blessings guys. It definitely is cheap to live here compared to most other major cities whether in the burbs or near downtown, buying a home or renting an apartment. Period.
    Edit: this is why DFW especially the bougie and gentrified areas are heavy with New York, Chicago and Cali transplants.

    The fact that the leasing rep did not want to say information about crime, etc... it is true, they are not allowed to say those details (I worked as a manager in an apartment community for years) the reason: liability. Let’s say that she tells you “no there is no crime” and when you move in, you get assaulted, yes you can sue the property for misinformation (rarely happens but has happened). The landlord is always gonna protect themselves, and even a gated community is no guarantee of safety.
    All in all, the prices are super cheap compared to other cities in US.

      @@pookie11593 I agree! You have to move down South for your money to go further. I'm originally from Ohio. I think this is why a lot of people move down South. The salaries are horrible, but if you have the salary from up North, you can live like a queen (King for men of course). Since we are working from home indefinitely, I need to consider going abroad if possible. My money could stretch even further 🙌

    The cost of living here in DFW is out of hand. We moved to north Fort Worth 2 years ago and our rent was $1800. Our rent just went up to $2200. A $400 increase for absolutely no other reason than the demand in the market. We planned to live here 1 year and then buy a home…well, corona hit and we stayed due to the unknowns of the market and little did we know it would get so insane. It’s truly sickening.

I do agree with you about the mixed kitchen/living room lay out. If you were like me and didn't have much furniture the echo really sucked.

    Here on the island, you get a one bed, 1& 1/2 bath for about $1700-$2400. None of those amenities are really a thing here. Indoor pools, underground parking, condo fees are normally extra and there is a high demand with few vacancies. Deff a good time to invest in another income property. 🤙🇨🇦

    Other ppl think that you can get alot for cheap in Dallas than reality because the truth is it is much cheaper and bigger than what you get in NY. Most apts in NY don't come w/ laundry on site and there is no such things as amenities for a regular apt around $1400 - $2500 for a 1 bdrm in NY. An apt w/ amenities in NY are considered "luxury" apt and depending on the neighborhood, they can range from 2.5K to 5 figures.
