CURRENT RENTAL SEARCH
Rentals within 3 miles of TCU
Housing benchmarks are market planning evidence, not a specific lease quote. The preset starts at 1+ bedroom and a 3-mile radius. It uses the existing current-listing search; an empty result is not a claim that the market has no rentals.
LEASE + ROOMMATE CHECK
Do not let the listing outrun the lease.
Verify what is being rented, who is responsible, the exact dates, recurring charges, sublet/relet rules and what happens if a roommate leaves.
RENT VS. OWN BRIDGE
Keep the rent you found in the ownership decision.
Use the current asking rent as an input—not proof that renting or buying is better. The next step keeps the campus, selected rental and time horizon attached.
Selected rental source is attached to this comparison.LOCAL HANDOFF
