College town energy meets DFW affordability. UNT, TWU, a legendary music scene, and rents that let you enjoy it all.
Denton is DFW's college town, home to both the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University. With a combined student population of over 50,000, the city has a youthful, creative energy that drives a vibrant music scene, eclectic dining, and a walkable downtown square lined with independent shops, vintage stores, and live music venues. Denton has produced notable musicians and maintains a cultural identity distinct from the rest of the Metroplex.
At an average one-bedroom rent of $1,100 per month, Denton is one of the most affordable submarkets in DFW. The DCTA A-train commuter rail connects Denton to the DART system, providing transit access to employment centers in Dallas, Plano, and Richardson without requiring a car. This combination of affordability, transit access, and genuine character makes Denton popular not just with students but with young professionals priced out of closer-in suburbs who value culture over corporate polish.
Denton's rental market includes everything from student-oriented complexes near campus to newer apartment communities on the city's growing south side closer to the A-train stations.
