Roanoke, TX 293 Apartments for Rent

Local Chris Duty is a slow-pitch softball legend in these parts. Known for his antics, Duty regularly strikes out, drops catches, and gets thrown out of games for tossing his bat against the fence in a fit of ungentlemanly frustration. He has become a regular comic act during games at Community Park, entertaining all who come to watch and giving his opponents little-to-no competition.

Located in south-central Denton County at the intersection of U.S. Highway 377 and State Highway 114, Roanoke, Texas, is home to 8,000 residents according the the 2012 U.S. Census. The city was incorporated in 1940 and has since become a manufacturing powerhouse producing concrete, cabinets, aircraft supplies, and fiberglass boats, to name a few. Grapevine Lake is only two miles to the north, and the city of Denton is a short 15-20 minute drive northeast of Roanoke. Both are popular weekend spots, one for cooling off and the other for its excellent live music scene!

Moving to Roanoke

Before you begin searching for places to live in Roanoke, there are a few things you will want to have organized and ready to share with a local real estate agent or the leasing agent you will be working with. Make a wish list of requirements, starting at the top with order of importance. For instance, how many bedrooms do you need? Is covered parking a must? (It really should be with the Texas heat). What about location? Do you need to be right next to a major highway for your commute to and from work? These are just a few things to take into consideration that will help narrow the property search considerably. One last tip -- if you can help it, avoid moving during the height of summer. It is incredibly hot during June, July, and August, and there are occasional tornadoes that occur during this time frame. Not always -- don't freak out! -- but do be cautious and watch the weather if you must move during the summer.
