About Off-Campus Housing Near University of North Texas
Denton is a genuine college town — small, artsy, and shaped by the combined presence of UNT and Texas Woman's University. The off-campus market is affordable: shared rooms near UNT typically run $750–$1,000/month, with plenty of inventory in the neighborhoods around campus. Denton has an unusually vibrant music scene for a city of 150,000, centered on the courthouse square area and the Fry Street corridor. The neighborhoods east and north of campus, along Avenue A and the streets near Fry Street, hold the highest student concentration. Denton is increasingly popular with DFW commuters, which has tightened the housing market relative to even five years ago.
University of North Texas Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirements
UNT has on-campus housing available but no universal freshman live-on requirement. Many freshmen live on campus by choice, but the off-campus market in Denton is accessible enough that some students start renting apartments immediately.
Off-Campus Eligibility
No contracted or approved housing system exists. Students rent freely throughout Denton. UNT's housing office provides listings and resources. The Fry Street corridor and the neighborhoods north and east of the main campus are the conventional starting points for near-campus searches.
Lease Timing
Denton leases near UNT turn over primarily in May and August. Listings come out January through April. Starting in January or February for fall is a good approach for near-campus housing, particularly for the Fry Street corridor and the blocks closest to the main academic buildings.
