Stafford, TX Apartments for Rent

Stafford is a city in the Houston metro area, primarily in Fort Bend County, with roots going back to 1830 when William Stafford established a plantation that became a railway stop on the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado line. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Stafford, you'll discover a prime spot between Sugar Land and Missouri City, with quick access to suburban conveniences and greater Houston attractions. Home to nearly 20,000 residents across just eight square miles, this compact city stays low-key while keeping shopping, dining, and entertainment within easy reach.

Renting in Stafford makes sense for anyone who wants affordability and accessibility in the Houston metro. The city's location along the Southwest Freeway means simple commutes to downtown Houston, Rice University, and nearby job centers. Apartment communities in Stafford range from studios to four-bedroom homes, with average rents that compete well against neighboring Sugar Land and Missouri City. Renters love being minutes from First Colony Mall for shopping, Stafford City Park for outdoor fun, and spots like the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land—all while enjoying a more relaxed atmosphere than the busier parts of the metro.
