Same approval paths, same phone verification, priced against local rents rather than a county-wide average. ## Getting Around Joshua and Into Fort Worth A car is required. No bus or rail service operates here. SH-174 is the main highway north to Burleson and south to Cleburne, and most rental inventory sits within a few minutes of it. FM 917 runs the southern and eastern edge, connecting toward I-35W near Mansfield. Chisholm Trail Parkway is a few miles west and is the direct tolled run to Fort Worth. If you use it five days a week, calculate the monthly toll before you compare rents against a Burleson address where the parkway on-ramp is closer. SH-174 to I-35W is the toll-free alternative, slower at peak hours. If you work in Fort Worth proper, plan on 35 to 45 minutes at peak. Burleson is seven miles north and has grocery stores, hospital campuses, and most services that Joshua does not. Cleburne is eight miles south. Factor that driving reality into your budget before comparing rent figures across cities. Tell us where you work and we will price the commute honestly alongside the properties we match. ## What Actually Rents in Joshua No large apartment communities operate here. The rental supply is individual-owner single-family houses, some duplexes and small complexes along SH-174, and manufactured homes on lots outside the city limits. If you need a conventional apartment complex with onsite management, Burleson to the north and Cleburne to the south each carry real inventory, and we search both when this city's supply does not cover your needs. Before applying to any property here, confirm four things with whoever is leasing: who handles lawn maintenance and exterior upkeep, since owner rules vary and are not standard across the market; whether the property is on city water and sewer or a private well and septic system; which electricity utility covers the address (Oncor or United Cooperative Services); and what the pet policy is. Individual owners decide approval case by case, and with more renters than rental houses available, some are selective. A larger deposit, additional documentation, or a co-signer can help when an owner has flexibility. Pull your own name in Johnson County Justice of the Peace records before you apply, because a dismissed case still shows on screening reports. Texas landlords are generally required to provide written tenant selection criteria before you pay an application fee. Why believe any of this ## We're new, so here's our method instead of a wall of reviews This brand hasn't placed enough renters to publish counts or ratings, and inventing them would be a misrepresentation. What we can show you is exactly how the work gets done. call ### We call the leasing office Criteria change without notice and listing sites don't track them. Before you spend an application fee, we confirm the income multiple, the deposit structure, and what the property does with your specific flag, by phone. event\_available ### Every number carries a date A rent, a concession, a criteria threshold, or a lease-up status is only useful if you know when it was true. Every one we send you has a verification date attached, and we pull Lease-Up Board records older than 60 days. report ### We publish the failure mode Our list updates in real time and it can still be wrong. Sometimes a community hasn't updated their system, sometimes someone applied twenty minutes ago. If a unit's gone when you call, tell us and we'll re-verify and send replacements the same day. badge ### Licensed, and named We're licensed Texas agents under Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC (TREC #9003398), designated broker Tom Birdwell. Single county, so we can verify instead of guess. Local answers ## Joshua questions ### Are there apartments in Joshua, TX? expand\_more Very few conventional ones. The rental market is mostly individual-owner houses, duplexes, and some small complexes along SH-174. No large apartment communities operate here. If you need a larger pool of options, Burleson to the north and Cleburne to the south each carry conventional inventory and we search both at the same time so you see your full range. ### Which school district covers this address? expand\_more Joshua ISD covers most of the city, but parts fall inside Burleson ISD or Godley ISD. The boundary runs through some neighborhoods, so the reliable answer is a lookup by the specific street address before you sign. We state the district as a factual matter only. ### Is the property on well and septic? expand\_more Some addresses outside the city limits run on a private well and septic system rather than city water and sewer. Ask the owner directly before you apply. Septic maintenance responsibility and rules vary by lease. We flag what we know before we send you a list. ### Who handles lawn maintenance and mowing? expand\_more It depends on what the individual owner puts in the lease, and it is not standard here. Some owners include lawn care; others require the tenant to mow and handle exterior upkeep. Ask specifically before you sign and confirm the lease language on yard standards. We flag this when we verify criteria with the owner. ### Do I pick my own electricity provider here? expand\_more It depends on the address. Where Oncor owns the wires, you choose your own retail electric provider on the deregulated grid and can compare rates at the state Power to Choose site. Where United Cooperative Services covers the address, the co-op is the utility and there is nothing to shop. Ask which utility applies to the specific property before you sign. ### Can you help if I have a broken lease, bad credit, or an eviction? expand\_more Individual owners here decide case by case, and with more renters than rental houses, some are selective. A larger deposit, a documented explanation, or a co-signer carries weight when an owner can be flexible. Pull your own name in Johnson County Justice of the Peace records before you apply; a dismissed case still appears on screening reports. Texas landlords are generally required to provide written tenant selection criteria before you pay an application fee. If you need the most flexibility, we also route to Burleson's newer complexes, which have formal conditional-approval paths, and Cleburne's older stock, which tends to have more room. ### Is apartment locating in Joshua, TX really free? expand\_more Yes. The service is free to you and nothing is added to your rent. The property owner or community pays a referral fee when you sign a lease. Licensed agents under Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC (TREC #9003398). ### How fast can you send rental options? expand\_more Usually the same day. Send us your budget, move date, and anything on your record you want us to know about. We come back with a verified list of properties, criteria confirmed with each owner or leasing office by phone. ### Still have a question? Tell us your budget, move date, and anything on your record you're worried about. We usually come back the same day. Get Your 60-Second Match [/contact/ →](/contact/) ## Also Searching Nearby? These neighboring Tarrant County markets often turn up options at a different price for a similar commute. location\_on ### Cleburne \*\*Cleburne\*\* is the Johnson County seat and the only city in the county with a real apartment market. The courthouse square anchors a downtown with restaurants, independent shops, and restored theaters. \*\*La Moderna Field\*\* hosts the Cleburne Railroaders, an independent-league baseball team with a spring and summer schedule. \*\*Cleburne State Park\*\*, 528 acres built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, sits a short drive southwest with camping, mountain biking, and lake access. \*\*Lake Pat Cleburne\*\* is the city water supply reservoir and has a public boat ramp. Major employers include \*\*Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Cleburne\*\*, \*\*Hill College\*\* on its Johnson County campus, a Walmart distribution center, \*\*Johns Manville\*\*, \*\*James Hardie\*\*, and \*\*Wabash\*\*. The rental supply is thin and mostly older. A few conventional garden complexes, smaller buildings and fourplexes near downtown, and a large share of single-family houses leased by individual owners make up what is available. Newer product is limited. Vacancy in any one building can sit at zero for months. If you have a specific floor plan or a hard move date, reach out early. Individual owners make most decisions here, which means a co-signer or a larger deposit often clears a complication that would result in an automated denial at a larger complex. Before you compare rent to a Tarrant County address, price the commute. The \*\*Chisholm Trail Parkway\*\* ends at \*\*US-67\*\* here and is tolled the entire way to Fort Worth. On a five-days-per-week schedule, add up the toll cost before you set your budget. \*\*US-67\*\* and \*\*SH-174\*\* run toll-free but slower. One detail that surprises renters: the city has two electricity utilities. Where \*\*Oncor\*\* owns the wires, you choose your own retail provider on the deregulated grid. Where \*\*United Cooperative Services\*\* serves the address, the co-op is the utility and there is nothing to shop. Ask which utility covers the specific address before you sign. Apartment locating in Cleburne arrow\_forward [Cleburne →](/service-areas/cleburne/) location\_on ### Burleson \*\*Old Town Burleson\*\* is the community's civic anchor: a restored main street with restaurants, shops, and regular events that give the city a walkable block or two in a suburban market that otherwise requires a car. \*\*Bailey Lake Park\*\*, \*\*Chisenhall Fields\*\*, and the \*\*Hidden Creek\*\* area round out the city with trails, sports fields, and family programming. \*\*Texas Health Huguley Hospital\*\* is a major employer on the south side. The rental stock covers a real range as of 2026. Newer garden apartments and townhomes make up the bulk of the conventional market, and a meaningful share of build-to-rent and single-family product has come in as the city has grown. Many properties are pet-friendly, though breed restrictions, weight limits, and pet rent vary by community. Older stock near the original town center tends to be more locally managed, which is relevant if your credit or rental history is complicated. Newer product and build-to-rent operators run formal institutional screening with some conditional paths. Two cost items to understand before comparing rents. The \*\*Chisholm Trail Parkway\*\* is tolled; if you commute on it daily to Fort Worth, price the monthly toll cost before setting your rent budget or it will show up as a surprise later. Amenity and valet trash fees appear outside the quoted rent on most newer leases. Single-family rentals often sit inside a homeowners association, and HOA rules add a layer on top of whatever the lease says. The city sits mostly in Johnson County with parts in Tarrant County; which county you land in affects your tax rate and which county court holds a prior eviction on record. If you're searching for an apartment near you in this part of the metro, neighboring Crowley, Rendon, and Joshua are a short drive and share some overlapping inventory. Apartment locating in Burleson arrow\_forward [Burleson →](/service-areas/burleson/) location\_on ### Crowley \*\*Bicentennial Park\*\* is the community anchor, near the center of the city with green space, sports fields, and events that give this small suburb its own identity. \*\*Crowley Road\*\* and \*\*FM-731\*\* are the two main arteries; most of the apartment stock and single-family rentals sit within a few minutes of both. Renters searching for apartments near Crowley also consider \*\*Burleson\*\* to the south, \*\*Benbrook\*\* to the west, and \*\*Forest Hill\*\* to the east. The rental inventory (2026 data) includes newer apartment product, older garden apartments, affordable housing and tax credit communities, and single-family rentals. One-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans are available across the conventional stock, and houses for rent are a real part of the Crowley market. Older buildings may be master-metered, meaning utilities are bundled into the quoted rent at a flat monthly rate rather than billed on your account directly. That difference can run $100 to $150 per month. When utilities are separate, you choose your electricity provider on the deregulated \*\*Oncor\*\* grid. Ask before comparing two properties on price. Newer subdivisions frequently sit inside a homeowners association, and HOA rules add obligations around pets, parking, lawn maintenance, and exterior standards on top of the lease. Ask who is responsible for each item before you sign. For renters with a complicated credit history or past eviction, older locally managed buildings here review applications individually rather than running automated screens. A larger deposit paired with documented income is the most common path to conditional approval. Properties accepting \*\*Housing Choice Vouchers\*\* are also in the area. The \*\*Chisholm Trail Parkway\*\* is the direct tolled route north to Fort Worth; price the monthly costs before setting your rent budget or they will show up as a surprise. I-35W runs parallel to the east as a free alternative. There is no transit here, a car is required. \*\*Crowley ISD\*\* serves the city; check by the specific address before assuming.
