By Alexander Concepcion, Taco Street Locating. Building prices below were checked on each property’s own website between Sep 30 to Oct 1, 2026. Estimates are labeled as estimates.

Uptown Dallas is the area just north of downtown Dallas around McKinney Avenue and the Katy Trail. On Oct 1, 2026, the 8 Uptown buildings we priced listed 1-bedroom starting prices from $1,286 to $3,200 and 2-bedroom from $1,813 to $4,600. These are estimates from property websites, not an area average.

Uptown Dallas apartment prices at a glance (estimates, checked Oct 2026)

This is not an area average. It is the range of “from” prices that the 8 Uptown Dallas buildings below list on their own websites on the dates shown. Some prices are base rent and some are total monthly cost, so read the “basis” column in the building table before comparing.

Size Lowest to highest “from” price (estimate) Median of those prices Buildings with a listed price
Studio $1,377 to $2,189 $2,006 3
1-bedroom $1,286 to $3,200 $2,420 8
2-bedroom $1,813 to $4,600 $3,719 8

Higher-priced buildings tend to be newer or taller buildings with more amenities; lower prices often belong to older or smaller communities, or to a single plan that is the cheapest in the building. A starting price is the cheapest listed home, not what every home costs.

Where is Uptown Dallas, and how do you get around?

Uptown Dallas sits directly north of downtown Dallas. McKinney Avenue is its main street, and the Katy Trail, a paved trail on a former railroad corridor, runs through the area. The buildings in the table are on streets such as Carlisle, Maple, Cedar Springs, Turtle Creek, Houston and Olive; check each address on a map to see how close it is to the trail, the trolley and the places you go most.

The M-Line Trolley, run by the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority, links Uptown along McKinney Avenue with the Arts District and Klyde Warren Park. MATA describes a 4.6-mile route that connects to DART rail at CityPlace/Uptown Station, and the service is free to ride, with riders asked to donate. Confirm current hours and routes on mata.org before you plan around it.

Uptown mixes high-rises, mid-rise buildings and smaller communities, so amenities, parking and fees differ a lot from one building to the next. Parking is worth asking about at every building, because it can be billed separately.

These are older write-ups. Their prices have not been rechecked in this refresh, so confirm current rent, fees and specials on each property’s own website or ask me.

How to compare apartment costs in Uptown Dallas

  • Check parking. In Uptown, parking can be a separate monthly charge or an assigned space; ask what is included in the quoted price and how guests park.
  • Ask for the total monthly cost. Base rent plus required monthly fees (pest, trash, valet trash, package or amenity fees), parking and pet rent can add up to a very different number from the advertised rent.
  • Ask what is one-time. Application, administrative and security deposit amounts are not published by every property; I mark those “ask the office” instead of guessing.
  • Read specials closely. “Up to X weeks free” usually applies to certain homes and lease lengths. Compare the net cost over the whole lease, not just the headline.
  • Compare lease length. The same plan can have different prices on different terms, so compare like with like.

Frequently asked questions

How much are apartments in Uptown Dallas?

As an estimate, on Oct 1, 2026 the 8 Uptown buildings we priced listed 1-bedroom starting prices from $1,286 to $3,200 (median $2,420) and 2-bedroom starting prices from $1,813 to $4,600 (median $3,719). These are “from” prices on property websites: the cheapest plan in a building, not an average, and some include fees while others are base rent. Open the building page for the basis.

What fees should I ask about at an Uptown Dallas apartment?

Ask for the application fee, administrative fee, security deposit, any parking charge, monthly fees for pest, trash and package services, and pet rent. Several property sites do not publish these amounts, and our building pages say so rather than guess. Ask the leasing office for a written total.

Is there public transportation in Uptown Dallas?

Yes. The M-Line Trolley runs along McKinney Avenue and is free to ride (donations requested), and it connects to DART rail at CityPlace/Uptown Station, according to MATA. Check current hours and routes before relying on it.
