DFW is one of the largest rental markets in the country by volume. Toyota. Caterpillar. Goldman Sachs. The corporate relocation pipeline has been steady, and no state income tax keeps it flowing. The challenge: DFW is also building a ton of new apartments. Certain submarkets have temporary oversupply while others stay tight. Uptown and Highland Park are premium. Head south or west and it's a different city. Metro averages are useless. The rent spread between Dallas zip codes is one of the widest of any major US metro.

These numbers are city-wide averages. If you're pricing a specific property in Dallas, pull comps from the same zip code. The spread is usually bigger than people expect.
