City Guide for Gainesville, TX

Howdy, Tex! We heard a rumor along the dusty trail that you’re looking to lasso a super sweet apartment for rent in Gainesville, Texas, situated just south of the Oklahoma border in wide open Cooke County. Well, we’ve got good news for you, buckaroo: You’ve come to the right place, because setting people up in their dream rentals is what we do best (actually, it’s all we do, but who’s counting?). Before you start clicking away in search of the perfect Gainesville, Texas apartment, here are a few...

Simply put, Gainesville is historic. Another way to say it is that it’s just plain old. Call it what you will, but be sure to visit the city in advance to see if it’s right for you before committing to it.

You won’t find many new rental properties in Gainesville (only about 3 percent of all residences sprouted up in the past 15 years), so hopefully you’re more enamored with history and character than modern flash and dazzle. Of course, since older apartments tend to have warts that newer ones don’t, be sure to give your new Gainesville rental a solid once-over before settling in. Make sure your appliances function, your utilities are turned on, your A/C works (trust us, you’ll need it), your windows aren’t littered with bullet holes (kidding), your pipes and sinks don’t drip or leak, your ceilings and walls aren’t chipped or cracked, and that another Texas family doesn’t already live there.

Pet polices differ from landlord to landlord, so pet owners should be sure call a property to see if it’s pet-friendly before scheduling a visit. Some pet owners, meanwhile, prefer to go the rental house route, since freestanding houses for rent in Gainesville often come with fenced yards where their furry four-footed roommates can roam (not to mention covered parking, laundry facilities, and plenty of living space).

Looking to partake in some fun and games in Gainesville? The city is more suited to those who appreciate peace, quiet, and wide open spaces than it is for night owls and the hustle-and-bustle type. Still, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing at all to do for fun in Gainesville, which boasts multiple historic sites and museums, a zoo, and countless parks, trails, scenic views, and family attractions (and yes, the occasional watering hole as well).

And now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: roping you in a primo apartment for rent in Gainesville, Texas! Welcome to the Lone Star State and happy hunting! See more

What to keep in mind when looking for dog friendly apartments in Gainesville, TX

Finding an apartment in Gainesville that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
