Frisco officially claimed the top spot for the highest apartment rent prices in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, according to the latest rental report from Zumper.
The report, which analyzed active listings in June 2025, revealed that one-bedroom apartments in Frisco are commanding more than $1,600 a month, well above the state median. As the city continues to develop into a major suburban hub, its rental market shows no signs of cooling off.
Frisco Leads the Pack
With one-bedroom units priced at a median of $1,630, Frisco outpaced every other city in North Texas when it comes to rent prices. The Colony followed closely behind with a median one-bedroom rent of $1,580, and Rockwall rounded out the top three at $1,570.
For comparison, the statewide median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Texas last month was $1,134, making Frisco’s prices nearly 44% higher than the state average.
How the top 10 cities for one-bedroom rent prices in North Texas ranked in June:
- Frisco – $1,630
- The Colony – $1,580
- Rockwall – $1,570
- Richardson – $1,560
- Farmers Branch – $1,460
- Dallas – $1,450

Where Rent Is Still Relatively Affordable
At the other end of the spectrum, Benbrook was the most affordable city in the area, with one-bedroom rents averaging $960. Arlington followed at $1,060 and Mesquite came in at $1,080.
These numbers highlight the growing affordability gap across North Texas as rental demand and development trends continue to shift.
Fast-Growing City, Fast-Rising Rents
Frisco’s climb to the top of the rental market comes as little surprise to those watching its rapid growth. With a steady stream of corporate relocations, new developments and a booming population, demand for housing — especially in high-amenity apartments — continues to rise.
For renters, that means higher costs. For the city, it reinforces its position as one of the most desirable and expensive places to live in North Texas.
