Cost of living in Euless

Euless renters pay a median of $1,690 a month, 20% higher than the statewide median. The usual rule is to spend no more than 30% of income on rent, which means earning around $68,000 a year for a median unit. Right now 46% of renters here pay more than 30% of their income on rent.

HUD sets fair market rents for this area at $1,481 for a one-bedroom, $1,745 for a two-bedroom and $2,284 for a three-bedroom (fiscal year 2027). These figures include utilities and describe a modest unit, so newer apartments often ask for more.

The median home is worth $318,800, 12% higher than the Texas median. With 20% down and a 30-year loan at 7.28%, the monthly payment comes to about $1,745 before tax, or $2,133 with property tax. That is $443 a month more than the median rent, so renting is the cheaper monthly choice unless you plan to stay for years.
