My son got a new job at the Fort Worth Zoo and is looking for a small inexpensive apartment in that area or a 30 to 45 minute drive. Any help would be appreciated.

Congrats to him. We love the FW Zoo. Unfortunately there are probably no inexpensive apartments in that area.

Lived in a similar rental in Fairmount 15 years ago. Neighbor was a nice man with a back injury on disability who sold drugs. Nice guy. Wonder how he is. His neighbor was a nice retired couple with tiny dogs.

A budget would help. That area is surrounded by multi million dollar homes and TCU students who don't care what things cost.

He may have some good luck at The Foundry Apartments. I've been working on the financing/refinancing of that deal and toured/drove it a few times. It's about 15-20 minutes from the zoo. The 1-bedroom is about $1000/month

Townhome style, been renovated, owner is a former Fighter Pilot turned Real Estate Guru. Good guy and it's a good apartment. Not the luxury but you also are getting a decent deal on rent IMO.

I would contact the Fairmount/Ryan Place facebook page admin and see if he could post something there. There are a ton of garage apartments in our area.

Ya, garage apartment... look at the neighborhood pages - specifically check Ryan Place, Fairmount, Mistletoe Heights, & Berkeley. I lived in a duplex right off Forest Park up the hill from the zoo after graduation.
