Arlington was originally a trading post for exchange between settlers and local Native Americans. It grew rapidly in the post-World War II boom, mainly due to industrial jobs supplied by General Motors. It grew steadily ever since, partly by shifting to an education and entertainment-based economy.

Located in Tarrant County, Arlington is the seventh largest city in Texas. It is about half the size of Ft. Worth and a quarter the size of Dallas. Los Angeles is roughly 10 times the size of Arlington, while Atlanta is about 30% bigger than Arlington.

Arlington is convenient located only 12 miles away from Ft. Worth and 20 miles from Dallas. The distance from Houston to Arlington is about 255 miles.

The weather in Arlington is usually hot and humid, with steady rainfall throughout the year. Although snow does occur, it is rare and there can be several years without any snowfall.

Tips for renting in Arlington, TX

Welcome to your new Arlington apartment! Renters in Arlington should know that Texas has no cap on the amount of security deposits, but does require they be refunded within 30 days of moving out. Also, renters who are late on their payments have three days to move out before eviction can begin.

Additionally, like some other states, Texas grants renters the right to withhold rent in certain cases if their landlord hasn’t made crucial repairs. Another major plus is that Texas requires landlords to disclose their application criteria to potential tenants. This means you’ll have a good idea if you even qualify for a lease before you pay a non-refundable application fee.
