Pricing and Floor Plans
| Unit type | Beds / Baths | Sq ft | Rent from | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 0 / 1 | 366–435 | $875 | RentCafe |
| One-bedroom | 1 / 1 | 476–610 | $930 | RentCafe |
| Two-bedroom | 2 / 1–2 | 781–910 | $1,175 | RentCafe |
| Three-bedroom | 3 / 2 | 987 | $1,825 | RentCafe |
Two-bedroom units carry the widest spread on this property, from a one-bath 781-square-foot layout to a two-bath 910-square-foot version at a comparable base price, so the bathroom count is worth checking unit by unit rather than assumed from the floor-plan code alone.

Walking Distance to UNT: The Numbers
The property’s marketing repeats “walking distance to UNT” on every page that carries its own copy. Independent data gives a mixed picture.
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Walk Score | 72 / 100 (“Very Walkable”) | Walk Score |
| Transit Score | 55 / 100 (“Good Transit”) | Walk Score |
| Bike Score | 71 / 100 (“Very Bikeable”) | Walk Score |
| Drive distance to UNT | 2.2 miles, 5 minutes | Apartments.com (Local Logic) |
| Walk to Downtown Denton Transit Center (A-train) | 1.6 miles, 21 minutes | Walk Score; LoopNet |
No aggregator or the property itself publishes an exact walk time from the leasing office to the UNT campus gate; the 72/100 Walk Score measures general errand-walkability, not that specific route. Treat “walking distance” as broadly accurate for daily errands and check the actual campus route on a map before counting on it for an 8 a.m. class.
Is Oaks of Denton walking distance to campus?The Walk Score is 72/100, “Very Walkable,” and the drive to UNT is 2.2 miles. That supports a walk for most students, though no source publishes an exact minutes-to-campus figure, so check the specific route from your building first.
Fees, Deposits, and Lease Terms
| Charge | Amount | Frequency | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $75 | Per applicant | Apartments.com |
| Move-in administrative fee | ~$100 | Per unit, one-time | Apartments.com |
| Security deposit | Varies by unit and screening | One-time | Apartments.com |
| Lease term | 9–12 months | – | Apartments.com |
As of this writing, Rent.com lists an active “one month free” incentive for new applicants, a real, current offer that changes the effective monthly cost on a studio lease more than any amenity does. Verify it is still running before signing, since online specials expire without notice.
What’s included in rent at Oaks of Denton?Utilities aren’t included. Electricity, water, and internet are set up separately by the resident, so the $875 studio floor is base rent only.
Pet Policy: Listings vs. Lived Experience
This is the sharpest disagreement on the property, and the one most likely to cost a renter money if missed. HAR.com’s listing tags the property “Pet Friendly.” Two independent, separately dated reviews on ApartmentRatings.com describe the opposite in direct terms: one lists as a con “no pets (officially not even FISH),” and another states plainly that pets aren’t officially permitted despite paperwork being on file. Neither the property’s own site nor Apartments.com’s FAQ currently states pets are welcome.

What the Reviews Show
Ninety-two reviews on ApartmentRatings.com skew toward complaints about aging plumbing, thin walls, and inconsistent maintenance turnaround, consistent with a building from the early-to-mid 1980s. Reviews dated 2024 through 2026 trend more positive, with several naming specific staff members for fast, responsive repairs.
Amenities
- Two resort-style pools – the property’s most consistently praised feature across review sites.
- On-site laundry facilities – residents report inconsistent machine uptime; ask to see the current facility before leasing.
- Fitness center and outdoor grilling area – standard for the price tier.
- Walk-in closets and W/D connections in select units – confirm per floor plan, not property-wide.

Location, Utilities, and Getting Around
Denton Municipal Electric’s published residential tariff sets a Single-Phase facility charge of $8.80 a month plus a combined usage rate of about $0.1312 per kWh, combining the usage charge, energy cost adjustment, and transmission recovery factor, per the City of Denton’s rate page. At a studio-to-one-bedroom usage range of roughly 400 to 700 kWh a month, that works out to an estimated $61 to $101 a month for electricity alone, before water, sewer, trash, or internet.
How much should I budget for utilities beyond rent?Electricity alone runs an estimated $61 to $101 a month for a studio or one-bedroom, based on Denton Municipal Electric’s published rate and typical small-unit usage. Water, sewer, trash, and internet are separate.
