About Student Housing in Denton
Denton is a genuine college town — the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University put tens of thousands of students within a few miles of the courthouse square, and the whole city is built around them. Housing runs from purpose-built student complexes ringing UNT to older houses and duplexes that roommate groups split downtown. Rent stays well below Dallas–Fort Worth proper, which is a big part of why students stay in Denton instead of commuting in. The catch is timing: the best places near campus and the square lease up fast for fall, so start looking in winter. Want walkability and music-venue nights? Aim for the square. Want space and a quieter street? The surrounding neighborhoods give you more room for the money.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Denton
Near Campus
The blocks ringing the universities keep students closest to class, packed with apartments and houses built for the student crowd.
The Square
Denton's walkable historic downtown, full of music venues, shops, and restaurants, popular with students who want to be central.
Surrounding Neighborhoods
Quieter residential pockets a short drive or bike from campus offer more space for roommate groups.
Getting Around Denton as a Student
Here's what you need to know about getting around Denton.
Public Transit
Denton runs the DCTA system with bus routes and an A-train rail link toward the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, and students near campus can use it to get around town and farther afield. University shuttle routes connect campus, apartments, and the square, so many students manage daily trips without driving. Service is solid around the universities but check schedules for outer areas. Rideshare covers late nights and gaps in coverage.
Walking and Biking
The blocks around the universities and the courthouse square are genuinely walkable, so students living close can handle class and errands on foot. Biking works well on the flatter streets near campus, and Denton's compact core makes pedaling practical. Bike lanes and trails around the center give cyclists safer routes. Students near campus often skip driving for daily life.
Parking
Many Denton students keep a car for grocery runs, jobs, and trips into the wider metro. Campus parking and permits are worth planning around if you bring a vehicle. If you live near the square or campus, you can leave the car parked most class days. A car adds flexibility for everything beyond the walkable core.
Frequently Asked Questions: Student Housing in Denton

Denton is one of the more affordable college towns in Texas.
