Renter’s City Guide to Denton
Introduction
Denton is the county seat of Denton County and the northernmost tip of the “Golden Triangle of North Texas,” with Dallas and Fort Worth forming the other two points. The city is famous for a thriving music scene that rivals that of Austin, complete with several music festivals throughout the year. It’s also a bustling college town, home to the University of North Texas and its student population of more than 37,000. In fact, the city ranks #5 on Livability’s list of the “Top 10 Best College Towns.”
How big is Denton?
Despite having a population of more than 135,000, Denton is just the 26th-most popular city in Texas. It covers a total area of 88 square miles, similar to Seattle or Washington.
What cities are close to Denton?
Denton is around 40 miles north of both Dallas and Fort Worth, while Oklahoma City is just under 170 miles north of Denton.
What is the weather like in Denton?
Denton has a humid, subtropical climate characterized by hot, humid summers and cool winters. Summers see average highs in the 90s from June through August, while December and January experience average lows of around 35°F. The city enjoys around 220 sunny days a year and about 39 inches of rain, just slightly above the national average. Rain falls throughout the year, though May and October typically see the most, while snowfall is uncommon.

What are the pros of living in Denton?
Denton offers a vibrant vibe, although it avoids the frantic hustle and bustle of a larger city.

What are the cons of living in Denton?
The hot and sticky summers can be tough for those who aren’t used to them. However, this is a trait shared by most Texas cities — and, indeed, most Southern cities. Notably, Denton is not ideal for those looking for peace and tranquility. It may be a relatively small city, but it’s still too big to enjoy a small-town vibe, and a large college student population can make it seem noisy at times. For those looking to commute to Dallas or Fort Worth, those metros are nearby, but not so close as to be convenient. As such, you can expect at least a 45-minute commute.
