Denton is a Texas college town with two major universities — the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University — and a rental market that runs on their combined enrollment of over 45,000 students. Rents are among the lowest in the DFW metro for a student city, and the density of off-campus housing near both campuses is high. The downtown Denton square has a genuine music scene and bar culture that makes the city feel livelier than its mid-size population suggests. Competition for the best apartments near UNT's campus is real, but nothing like Austin or Dallas pressure. The most popular student neighborhoods surround UNT's campus near Fry Street and the Square.
The classic Denton student zone — bars, cheap eats, and apartments within walking distance of UNT's campus. The most social and convenient location for undergrads. Fills fastest.
A short walk from both campuses, with the music venues and restaurants that define Denton's character. Popular with upperclassmen who want the downtown social scene. More apartments mixed with businesses.
The quieter student zone for Texas Woman's University students — less density than the UNT side, generally more affordable.
Here's what you need to know about getting around Denton.
Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) buses and the A-Train commuter rail connect Denton to the broader DFW metro. The A-Train links Denton to the DART system in Carrollton, enabling a (long) commute to Dallas without a car. Within Denton, the UNT and TWU campus shuttle systems are the most used by students.
The area between UNT's campus, Fry Street, and the Denton Square is legitimately walkable — one of the more pedestrian-friendly college town setups in Texas. Biking between the campuses and the square is common. Beyond that core zone, Denton is standard Texas suburban development.
Campus parking requires a permit. Near Fry Street, street parking is contested during peak hours. Most apartments in the student zones include a space. The residential areas surrounding the core have easy parking.
Common questions from students searching for housing.
Denton is one of the more affordable student markets in Texas. Shared units near UNT typically run $600-$900/mo per person. Near TWU, prices are slightly lower. It is significantly cheaper than Austin and a good value for the DFW metro.
