Cost of living in Everman

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 $177,700, 37% lower than the Texas median. With 20% down and a 30-year loan at 7.28%, the monthly payment comes to about $973 before tax, or $1,239 with property tax. That is close to the median rent, so buying can make sense if you plan to stay.
