Fort Worth living

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Haven't been able to find any advice for this anywhere else so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm a new graduate (early 20's and single) and will be moving to Fort Worth but I can't afford any apartment right in the downtown area since they are all over $1000 a month.

What other areas of Fort Worth would you suggest for a young professional? Looking for an area that has lots to do with people to meet within a budget (at least less than $1,000/month... I'm only making a new grad salary!) Thanks! :)

Hello and welcome! DFW has a ton of apartments. It would just depend on how far you're willing to commute. I currently work at Harris Methodist downtown Ft. Worth and just moved to central Arlington. It's very busy over here, close by the mall in fact. It's about a 25 minute drive on a night shift. Depending on how many bedrooms and sq. ft. you want, a pretty nice apartment can start anywhere between $800-$900. Prior to moving over here, I stayed in South Arlington, close by Mansfield, and that was about a 15 minute drive.
