We've helped many DFW renters find a place. **Burleson** is a fast growing suburb south of Fort Worth. Most of it is in Johnson County, with a small part in Tarrant County. There's a lot of new construction along the **I-35W** and **SH-174** corridors. You'll find Class A and B complexes, townhomes, and duplexes all over town. That runs from **North Burleson** and the area around the **Russell Farm** art center to **Southwest Burleson** along SH-174. Much of the housing here is newer, and several communities work with credit problems if you can prove your income. When communities here bend on credit, it's usually through a higher deposit or a guarantor service. That opens up several communities along **Wilshire Blvd** and **I-35W**. Nearby **Mansfield** and **Crowley** add more second chance options south of Fort Worth. But if your income falls short of that, guarantor services like **OneApp** or **TheGuarantors** work at some Class A and B communities. You pay a fee instead of finding a co-signer. We track which properties are taking these programs in 2026 and what Johnson County landlords are checking. Our team checks your file against each community's real rules before you spend a dollar on a nonrefundable application fee. We often place renters moving in from pricier parts of Fort Worth, from **Arlington**, or from central DFW. You might want an apartment complex in **East Burleson**, a townhome near **Old Town Burleson**, or a duplex along the **I-35W Corridor**. Either way, we match your file to Johnson County properties that accept bad credit. **Bailey Lake** and **Chisenhall Fields** are close by, and rent runs lower than in pricier parts of DFW. Most clients get their list within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays. Every Burleson search starts with the database we keep on each community. It covers credit minimums, how they handle evictions, what income proof they want, and how far back the background check goes. You get a short list of places that fit your credit, rental history and income before you pay a single application fee. ![Illustration of a locator going over screening rules with a renter](/images/features/locator-with-renter-reviewing-screening-criteria-d.webp) ## Neighborhoods we cover in Burleson Old Town BurlesonI-35W CorridorSH-174 CorridorWilshire Blvd CorridorBailey Lake AreaSouthwest BurlesonNorth BurlesonEast Burleson Nearby areas and landmarks Old Town BurlesonBailey LakeChisenhall FieldsRussell Farm ## Burleson on the map ## Burleson Renter Questions About Second Chance Apartments Quick answers to what most second chance renters ask about finding housing here. ### Which Burleson apartments accept bad credit? It depends on the community, and you'll need to prove solid income. Most second chance approvals here come with a higher deposit of one to two months' rent. Others come with a guarantor service like OneApp or TheGuarantors. We check your file against what Johnson County communities are approving in 2026 and send you a list within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays. Our service is 100% free. ### How much are Burleson apartments with bad credit in 2026? With credit problems, plan on an extra deposit of one to two months' rent or a guarantor fee on top of your normal upfront costs. We point out any current specials when we build your list. ### Does Burleson have bigger floor plans for renters with credit issues? Yes. Burleson has a lot of newer construction, plus townhomes and duplexes with more room than a typical apartment. Several Class A and B communities here work with renters who have credit problems, especially if you can prove all your income. We find the properties with larger floor plans and looser screening. ### Are there newer apartments in Burleson that accept bad credit? Yes. Burleson has grown fast, up about 19.5% in population from 2020 to 2025 by Census estimates. Newer buildings along I-35W and SH-174 are quicker to use guarantor programs and deposit options than older ones. We track which of them are approving second chance renters in 2026. ### Can I use a guarantor to rent in Burleson? Yes. Several Class A and B communities run by big management companies along I-35W and Wilshire Blvd use guarantor programs like OneApp or TheGuarantors. For a fee, the service backs your lease, which can get you approved at places that would turn you down on credit alone. We can tell you which properties here have guarantor programs running and walk you through signing up. Our service is 100% free. ### Is your apartment locating service free for renters? Yes, 100% free. The apartment community pays our locator fee when you sign the lease. You never pay us a dollar for the consultation, the list, or at move-in. Our agents hold TREC licenses under a real brokerage, and a licensed broker stands behind every lease we help with. ### What if I've already been turned down at several places? Stop applying blind. Each application costs about $50 to $85 in nonrefundable fees. We check your file against each community's actual screening rules, so you only pay to apply where you have a real shot. Reach out for a free consultation, and we usually send your list within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays. ### Where can I find a second chance apartment locator near me in Burleson?
