Orange, TX

27 3 Bedroom Apartments for Rent

Orange is home to some of the toughest Texans you will ever know. Much like fine moonshine, life in the Golden Triangle will kick you in the throat, make your eyes twinkle, and then give you an uncontrollable urge to dance to some honky-tonk music. Smoke bellows from the nearby chemical plant, crocodiles and mosquitoes keep people on their toes, an occasional hurricane tests the town's will, and of course, the unforgiving heat can really drive people crazy. But, this is not the downside. In fact, this is what makes Orange such a great place to live. A rough life breeds good music, good food, and amazing people, including the blues-greats Marcia Ball and Gatemouth Brown. It's certainly no tropical paradise, but it's also not a place prone to high rental rates, expensive food, or flocks of pesky tourists either. It's more of a crazy-Texan-Cajun-swamp paradise, and the price for this breed of luxury is very affordable. Rental rates start at about $500 to $800 a month, and even the finest of southern living fails to exceed $900. There are small apartment complexes, as well as rental homes if you know where to look. While apartments can easily be found online, houses for rent are usually advertised through word-of-mouth and local classifieds.

In this city's apartment communities, amenities make life very convenient. Extras such as an on-site laundry facility and swimming pool are simple enough to find, and can be a lifesaver during the blistering hot summers. There are also apartments available with easy access to public transportation, for all you renters brave enough to live in Texas without wheels.

Those in the market for a pet friendly pad are in luck. Like most Texas towns, cat friendly and dog friendly rental properties are all over the place. However, you can expect to pay some hefty pet fees, with most places charging over $200 for a pet deposit.

For those moving to town with kids in tow, it is very important to know that Orange isn't the most family friendly place to live. The index is frighteningly high for both violent crimes and property crimes, drugs are certainly afoot, and that old hard-drinkin', fast-livin', hell-billy lifestyle is no place to raise kids. However, if you are in need of a safe neighborhood, then there areas along the northern outskirts of town where trees outnumber people, and the safety of secluded rental homes can keep the kids out of harm's way.

Armed with a little local info, you are now ready to scroll through those listings and find your perfect new place. Best of luck.

Looking for 3 bedroom apartments in Orange provides more space for multiple roommates sharing costs, or a family looking to settle in. Look for apartments that fit your lifestyle with proximity to green space, restaurants, entertainment, or quality schools.

Take your time when considering the layout during a tour of 3 bedroom apartments. Some bedrooms may be smaller than the others. This could work out well for roommates who want to adjust their share of the cost depending on who gets the largest and smallest bedroom. If you’re renting the entire space for yourself, make sure the rooms work well for the configuration you’re looking for, including a main bedroom, guest room, and office.

Consider the outdoor space when renting 3 bedroom apartments in Orange. A larger apartment may come with both a balcony off the living room and Juliet doors in the main bedroom. A small yard out back, rooftop terrace, and other outdoor amenities may also be available.
