Grant’s direct answer

Sometimes—especially on a net-effective basis when a qualifying apartment offers a substantial concession. Dallas Urby, The Grand at Legacy West, and selected newer Midtown or Addison-area communities have been useful examples, but no property should be promised below $2,000 without checking the exact unit, lease term, move-in date, fees, and special. A higher advertised rent with free weeks or months can cost less over the initial lease than a lower base rent with no concession. The renter must also budget for parking and mandatory monthly charges. Under-$2,000 luxury availability is possible, not guaranteed, and may involve a studio, smaller floor plan, or northern location.
