Apartment vs Townhouse vs Condo vs House — Which Rental Suits You? (2026)

Average rent for a Texas apartment is $1,200–$1,400/month, while rental houses run $1,600–$2,200/month as of mid-2026. Apartments offer the lowest entry cost and zero maintenance, but houses provide 2–3x the square footage and private outdoor space. Townhouses and condos fall between the two on price, space, and upkeep. RedRiver Rent lists all four property types across Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Waco.
