Find a Brownsville Apartment

For Texas, a population of only 180,000 practically makes Brownsville a small town. Despite its modest population beside the larger Texan cities, Brownsville is a thriving community situated on the Rio Grande, bordering Matamoros, Mexico. Trade with Mexico and booming business in the Port of Brownsville are just some of the reasons why the local economy and population have enjoyed steady and rapid growth over the last several years.

The largest employers in the area are education and government based. The top ten largest include Cameron County and the City of Brownsville, as well as the Brownville Independent School District and the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. UTB/TSC is currently home more than 8000 students, but will be undergoing a name change very soon. UTB will merge with UT-Pan American and be called University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

When to Search

Most apartment hunters find either July or November to be the optimal times to look for an apartment. A good tip is to start a week before the month in question, that way you'll notice any apartments where renters happened to give notice a little earlier than they were required to.

Staying in the Know

To make a good impression on landlords in Brownsville, ask them what the requirements of an application are before you show up to see the apartment. That way, if you're interested in the place you can fill it out immediately and have all the necessary supporting documentation handy. This is a great way to show the landlords you take your apartment search seriously.
