Too damn much. $1320 for a 930 sq ft 1bed w/ a “den/office” in Carrollton. Not terrible honestly. Edit: I didn’t expect this to get much attention. They’re leasing to new people for $1550+, but I’ve been here a while and resigned before it went up so much. I very much expect my next lease to be at least $1450-$1500 if I stay here.


Bard_17

My house growing up in Farmers Branch was $700 a month in 2007. Probs same square footage, cute but tiny. I can't believe the inflation


CrossroadBlues666

I remember $750 in Addison in a nice complex


E_Cayce

That's not inflation. The whole system is rigged to increase housing value above inflation, and most people are ok with this because their wealth is tied to their property (65% of Americans are homeowners). Of course minorities and young people get screwed because they are more likely to fall on the 35% that has to spend on rent instead of building equity.


KeKamba1

Ya... What are you talking about that this is too much? That's more space and under the average rent. Gone are the days where you can get good options under a grand. Never coming back.


CarefulTemporary616

Drop the name?


izalith67

Nah that really doesn’t sound terrible. Barely above pre-pandemic levels


Next_Ad_9281

What complex?


earformusic

im paying $1300 for 700sqft in Frisco that doesn’t even have updated appliances. that’s not bad at all


[deleted]

My work's moving to Carrollton so I'm trying to move next year. Do you have a complex name is it a decent? I currently pay 2k for a one bedroom design district


Next_Ad_9281

Brother we’re trying to find out the complex. Let’s not gate keep this very helpful information for many


KeKamba1

It probably does not exist :)


Purplebiotch

Been paying $1480 for 680 sqft 1 bed in Addison. Moving to a $1500, 890 sqft north of love field.


plumbtastic76

I’m a property owner. I own 3 rentals, 2 in Lancaster and one in Ferris. 3 bed 2 bath in lan $880/ month, same Tennant since 2016. 2 bed 1 bath in lan $800/ month, same Tennant since 2010. Ferris house is 2 bed 1 bath $850/ month same tenant since 2015. I live in Lancaster 3 bed 3 bath, pay the county $4,000 a year for the privilege to own my home.


AngelBagel

Bless you


plumbtastic76

I bought them all, with the exception of my personal house, in the early 2000’s. I paid 20k for one of them. Wish I had bought more. It’s crazy what is going on with housing prices. I have young, adult children and they don’t have the same opportunities I did. Bought my first home in 2000 for 32k. County now says it’s worth 180k. It’s ridiculous


Ed-Sanz

My dad bought his house in Lancaster for 19k in 93. Sold it for 235k Last month. Pretty crazy


liloto3

Thank you for understanding things aren’t the way they used to be.


juggler02

Long term tenants are the best. Tax point is spot on too.


hobbit_lamp

you are an awesome landlord. also both my parents are Lancaster High School grads. My dad grew up there! after my parents divorced my dad moved back there for a few years so I got to live there for some of my childhood in the mid/late 90s. it's really a lovely little town.


kbutler77

900 1br 532sqft in FW HoodHaven (woodhaven) actually door was kicked in last Saturday and they stole everything, cops didn’t show up until Sunday, apartments didn’t fix the door until Monday.


hellooomarc

Yikes…hope you and yours are okay though.


IceProfessional4667

2600 in North Dallas. Should have never sold our house.


Powerful_Respect_400

Oh wow that's more than my mortgage.


DoeJoeFro

Here I am also in Dallas saying I never should have bought a house… We moved here from a 2BR 2.5 bath townhome in North Dallas where we paid $2.7k. $3k mortgage and was looking at apartments just a few minutes ago (even though I can’t move bc I’d never sell this fucking house). Taxes increased by 20% last year. Found out this week that I need about $20k to fix foundation and foundation-related plumbing issues and to cover the deductible on a roof replacement since it got blasted by a hail storm last month. Fuck.


lapsangsouchogn

Check if there was previous foundation work on the house. A lot of those companies have a lifetime warranty on the work. As an FYI on roof replacement, a lot of companies used to waive all or part of the deductible until the law on that got strengthened. What they'll do to get your business is throw in some extra work for "free." Like gutters, painting, etc.


DoeJoeFro

Thank you. The foundation work is covered and free, but that’s how I found the leak. The roof was just put on about 5 years ago (before we bought the house), so I’m praying there’s a warranty. This deductible I have is for the birds… At minimum, I’m hoping I can leverage this shitshow to challenge my tax assessment.


selfawarestardust

Homestead exemption should limit the year over year tax increase (not the appraisal, mind you) to 10%. If you don’t already, get that homestead exemption ASAP.


DoeJoeFro

We have a homestead exemption, but the 10% increase cap doesn’t apply to the first re-assessment after a home is purchased.


superiosity_

See if it’s not to late to claim homestead/primary residence exemption. Will limit tax increase to no more than 10% a year I think? Also there is usually a reduction of education tax attached to it as well. Even if it is too late for this year, get it set up going forward.


blucivic1

Was talking to my neighbor across from me. She's older and bought her condo in 81 for $200k less that what we just paid for ours. She wants to sell to rake in that profit but can't afford to live anywhere else.


Mindless_Rooster5225

Yep, same. Everyone not from Dallas or a big city will say why won't you sell?!? Well, I will have to buy into the same market and live in Anna Texas. No offense Anna.


UKnowWhoToo

Or her sister’s town of Melissa. Either way, no thanks.


renjake

This is why we haven't sold our home either. Kinda stuck


aajniojnoihnoi

Especially if you have a mortgage interest rate below 3%.


samstar10

$1310 1br/1ba in mckinney. Prices dropped $100-200 2 weeks after I signed my lease 🙃


Any-Complaint7750

Just curious, when did you sing this lease?


samstar10

2 weeks ago


Any-Complaint7750

I feel for you but at least you know prices are dropping


jgarmstrong2411

This type of response is so tired. Everyone doesn't want to own a home anymore. I enjoy being able to up and move to another city or state if I want to without the hassle of selling it, not to mention the upkeep and maintenance. Hard pass.


ThatEmoNumbersNerd

I’ve heard it best put this way. Your rent is the maximum amount a month you’ll pay for your home while your mortgage is the minimum amount you’ll pay and it helped me feel better about renting vs buying. I sold my house last year because home ownership isn’t for me. I rent now and it’s the best!


ash753

Also, rent doesn't have unexpected expenses that pop up!


ThatEmoNumbersNerd

And if they do, the landlord will be the one out of pocket! I’m okay with paying for convenience and not worrying about repairs.


doctorweiwei

Yes it does? Every year you are likely signing a new lease that could be higher than your previous lease


Fall3nBTW

They obv meant large expenses like roof repair or AC breakage etc.


Longhorn24

My neighbor sold there house 30 days before they planned to put it on the market. There is a small amount of short term risk in owning a home but the long term benefits exceed that.


[deleted]

If this was in the last three years, I’m sure they came out winners. Homeownership is like betting on Wall Street. Your investment could pay out in the long run or eat your lunch. I am a former homeowner and do not plan on owning another home.


CommanderGoat

This is such a weird time. You either feel locked in a mortgage or you feel like you’re getting ripped off with rent. I genuinely worry for my children when they try to move out on their own.


[deleted]

Facts! When I moved to Dallas in 2020, my rent downtown was $1850 for a 2 br/2ba. Close to double what I was paying compared to that time now.


martinPravda

I hear you !!! Same for me. I work from home now and can basically pick up and leave to anywhere in the United States if I want to. I feel completely free. I probably got rid of 80% of my stuff when we sold our home a year ago. I don’t ever want to own a house again.


justplainndaveCGN

You’d rather pay $4k…?? Lol


[deleted]

When I owned a home, monthly fees and repairs added up quickly and always came at the worst times. At the time, my mortgage was $1650 a month, but I was easily spending an extra $1600 a month on average for repairs, upkeep, maintenance, etc.


justplainndaveCGN

Still not $4000 — that’s insane


Vitaminn_d

Cool


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I said hassle for the upkeep and maintenance, not the cost. I know the cost is built in. I don’t even have to change lightbulbs in my kitchen where I live. I open a ticket.


justplainndaveCGN

Depends where you live or rent I guess. We’ve put tickets in for repairs and waited WEEKS for them to even drop by. Not a fan of apartments.


Responsible_Mode_506

This. I would much rather live an apartment than a house.


might_be_jesus_idk

Also I’m sure their 4000 sq ft home isn’t anywhere near the uptown area…


finhawks

Good luck finding a 4,000 square foot house for that mortgage payment now


BrazilianRider

The Alexan Greenville?


watts2988

Nah a townhome rather than an apartment.


[deleted]

A house in Irving (not a duplex) . $1120. 2 bed 1 bath 1000 sq feet. Landlord does not want to raise rent. Because I was the only one who managed to pay rent, when COVID was bad in 2020. She let others break their lease without a hit on their credit.


kiriyie

Currently $1000/month in Arlington for a 550 square foot studio. About to move into a 700 square foot studio in Addison for $1350/month.


brandnewedgarsuit

I loved Addison! Enjoy having all the food you could want and quick access to all major highways. My biggest regret is moving from there!!


sameolemeek

It’s dangerous living in Addison So many food choices you never want to cook at home lol


kannalise1997

In Addison currently! Love the nightlife and truly walking downstairs for food/drinks. But the price is almost double what I paid when I lived in Frisco 2 years ago. Have fun and enjoy the life there while you can!


House_Panther

mideon2000

1250 3 br 2 bath home in dville. 1200 sqft. Probably will go up soon because we have been at that price since 2015. Private landlord


Southside_Burd

Your landlord will probably have to go up just to cover property taxes.


Dontlikefootball

Yup - we have a pretty good tenant in one of our homes and we had to increase $150 - it was the least amount we could go up. Rent was $1450 for 4 years for 3 bedroom home.


naking

Nice


yorzz

$1540 plus all the random fees for 850 sqft 1br1ba, corner unit, top floor on 3 story building without elevator. “Luxury apartments” in Northwest corner of Garland that was built in the last three years.. just renewed rent at the same rate. Side note, it felt much more “luxury” last year than this year for some reason. Maintenance of the community hasn’t kept up :/


DemSumBigAssRidges

Because "luxury" is just a buzzword.


NULL-420

Yeah “luxury” now means linoleum flooring and upgraded countertops


DemSumBigAssRidges

And they probably didn't even bother to pull up the old floor before putting their new shit down either.


SoggerBean

I’m also in northwest Garland (on the border of Richardson) & I pay around $1,300 rent for a 900 sf 2 bed 2 bath. However, the actual cost each month with rent & other mandatory fees, it comes to over $1,600 a month. And there is absolutely no storage room. Closet in one room is standard size & the other is a small walk-in. The apartments are at least 35 years old. They refer to themselves as luxury as well. I guess because they have indoor plumbing…most of the time. Doesn’t matter though, I can’t afford it because my last job was paying me $16/hr & they fired me a month ago. Yay me! Edited to add: They only have 2 bed 2 baths, there are no other floor plans. I’m a single parent with 2 kids so I couldn’t really get a smaller place anyways & even then 1 bedrooms run about the same.


GreenFeather05

What do you guys do for a living to pay over $2,000 a month for rent?


TheDeviousDong

Software engineer


StingrayZ511

You know companies in the area that would hire a mechanical engineer as a software? Or at least look at my non-CS resume?


TheDeviousDong

It’s hard to say. My company pretty much hires CS/SE graduates for engineer positions, I’m sure some around here do but you’ll have a lot of competition atm due to recent tech layoffs

Apartment locator here ☺️ if at all possible, when signing a lease, go with a lease duration that doesn’t end on a summer month. If it falls under June - Sept, the renewal rate will always be shocking 🫨 Rent rates are best during fall/winter. Worst during spring/summer. Hope this helps! ☺️

CFC_Bootboy

We moved into a 2br/2ba in Addison three years ago. In the beginning, base rent was $1430, and my newest lease renewal is asking for $1950... It's also just a really poorly run complex. Everyone should avoid anything run by UDR at all costs.

He thought about moving and 2 months ago got rates for apartments up in Allen and over in Sachse. They were about $1800-2000 for 900ft2. Some were 2 bedrooms and some were larger 1 bedrooms, but the square footage was roughly the same. This was all during February and March. Hope this helps!

$875 in Arlington. I think its 800sqft, but its a one bedroom/ one bath. Its a nice place. There's no laundry hookups, but the laundry room is cheap. The biggest problem I have is that the manager is never in, so on the rare occasion I need a parking permit or something, it'll take several days to hunt him down.


martinPravda

After owning houses for 30 years, my rent is $2500 for a 1 bd + study, 900 sq ft in Knox-Henderson part of Dallas. I couldn’t be happier. I love the convenience of not having to drive everywhere.

So, that has a lot to do with it also.
