There are also many student housing options for University of North Texas within the town of Denton. Because the campus is quite expansive and buildings are very spread out, think about what buildings you will be in the most and take that into consideration when looking at off-campus apartments.

To the North and Northeast of campus, check out the Hunt Club Apartments, Renaissance, Vine Apartments, The Cluster Apartments, The Oasis, and Pecan Grove. They offer various sized units, all within walking distance to campus so you can pick the one that is the most conveniently located for you and within budget. Or perhaps you are more interested in the new housing options available off-campus, such as University Courtyard (UC Denton) located on Bonnie Brae St. or The Venue on Bernard St. Both options offer quite a few amenities, such as a 24-hour gym for students to utilize, as well as affordable options for students on a budget.

On the East side off-campus, the Oaks of Denton offers inexpensive, studio to three-bedroom apartments, and it is just outside of campus. In fact, the apartment complex boasts that it is within walking distance of the UNT campus, so no car is necessary!

And Southeast, if you are looking to save additional costs with an all-inclusive option, check out 14 Fifty-One, located just 10 minutes from campus in Denton, which boasts two to five-bedroom housing options. This complex is highly rated amongst students and offers affordable living spaces and modern comfort. Other great Southeast UNT housing options include Arbors of Denton, Cole Place, and The Venue.
