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.

Downtown Dallas is the central business district area around Main Street, Elm Street and the Arts District. On the dates I checked in Sep to Oct 2026, the 4 downtown buildings we priced from their own websites listed 1-bedroom starting prices from $1,786 to $3,200 and 2-bedroom from $2,233 to $4,600. These are estimates, not an area average.

Downtown 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 4 Downtown 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
1-bedroom	$1,786 to $3,200	$2,233	4
2-bedroom	$2,233 to $4,600	$3,646	4

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.

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 Downtown Dallas

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.
