55,253 Apartments, Houses, & Townhomes for Rent in Texas

For apartments, homes, and Texas townhouse rentals, prices vary from city to city. The most expensive area is Austin, for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The most affordable market is Brownsville, with considerably lower prices for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom properties.

Texas landlords often accept more than just the average cat, dog, and hamster. Ranch-style houses for rent in Texas with acreage also accommodate horses, livestock, and multiple large dogs. The traditional single-family home in suburban areas has high pet acceptance rates, but it's not as simple for pet-friendly apartments. Texas high-rises in dense urban areas or HOA-governed condos are often more strict about pets. Whether you're looking at homes or Texas apartments, ask the landlord about any restrictions on pet size, breed, and number. That way, you don't waste time (or money) applying for rentals you don't qualify for.

Age-restricted communities and senior housing facilities are common all over Texas, but most of the inventory is in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas-Fort Worth. These retirement destinations have a mix of independent living developments and healthcare-oriented senior housing. Texas waitlists are common due to high demand, so start early and sign up for multiple communities at once. Remember, suburban and rural markets often provide more space and lower costs, but they come with longer travel times to urban amenities.

Between tourism and business travel, it's common to find short-term and furnished rentals. Texas renters should target primary metros, as well as coastal areas like Corpus Christi and healthcare hubs like El Paso. To find month-to-month lease opportunities and furnished Texas rentals as soon as they hit the market, use Rentler's 'furnished amenities' and 'lease length' filters.

There's a strong market for luxury homes and apartments for rent in Texas, especially in Uptown, The Domain, and River Oaks.
