    Living in Harlingen, TX

    Located in one of the most southern points of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, Harlingen is one of the most affordable places to live in the U.S. As a renter, your dollar can stretch far in this quiet little town. Situated less than half an hour from the Mexican border, Harlingen is a family-friendly community with well-rated schools. Being so close to Mexico, a significant share of the population is of Hispanic and Latino descent. The mild winters and affordable cost of living make renting an apartment in Harlingen a favorite among “Winter Texans” — transient population, primarily retirees, who spend the warmer months in northern Midwestern states and Canada. Boasting several golf courses, an active cultural scene, and multiple restaurants to choose from, Harlingen is a great place for renters to call home.

    Renting in Harlingen, TX

    There are slightly fewer renters in Harlingen than homeowners. The low cost of living and affordable rents make Harlingen a very attractive option for budget-minded renters. You can find an apartment for rent in Harlingen for a fraction of the price of most other cities, since housing costs are well below the national average and the average for the rest of Texas. Harlingen has a spare suburban feel, with housing options ranging from apartments and townhouses to modern single-family or historic homes. Texas rental laws do not set a maximum amount for a security deposit. However, most landlords request the equivalent of two months’ rent and they must return it (minus any amount used to cover damages) within 30 days of the renter moving out.
