You’ll find cheap apartments all over town, and for as little as $375 a month you can snag a small, one bedroom, one bath apartment rental. The complex on Canby Court even has utilities included in this bare-minimum rent. Although they aren’t dog-friendly apartments, they do allow cats.

If you need a two bedroom apartment rental, check out Heritage Apartments on Southland Parkway. Their two bedrooms will run you from $490 to $510 a month with security deposits ranging from $200 to $500. These are not pet-friendly apartments.

Mallard Landing also offers furnished apartments for rent, in their Corporate Apartment program. Here, you can sign up for a long or short term lease.
