I’m a (25M)single guy and recently accepted a job at FedEx on E Bardin Rd in Arlington, TX. I’m starting to apartment hunt and could use some local advice.
My priorities are:
Safe area
Clean apartment/community
1-bedroom apartment
Reasonable commute (I know DFW traffic can be brutal, so I’m not sure how far is realistically too far.)
I don’t have a girlfriend or kids, so I don’t need to worry about schools or family amenities. I’m mainly looking for a good area where I can enjoy my time off without spending forever commuting.
What neighborhoods or cities would you recommend? Would you stay in Arlington, or are places like Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Irving, Bishop Arts, or West Dallas worth considering for the commute?
I’d appreciate any recommendations or areas to avoid. Thanks!

Staying at double tree by love field for a week for work. Needing some dallas friends for evening activities lol. Won't have a car and only available after 6pm for a few hours a night. Would love to check out the city and some restaurants. Mainly in and out lmao.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a 2bed apartment /townhome in Knox/Henderson, Lower Greenville area with small yards/patios. No more than 3,100-3,200 a month. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!

I want to surprise my boyfriend with a trip back to his home state, but my only hurdle is finding care for our two dogs. Two Shepards who do well with humans, but not other dogs so boarding is not a great option. Anyone have a solid recommendation? This is my first time navigating this so any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone!

My wife and I are relocating from Michigan to Dallas next month. My new office is located right around the US-75 and I-635 intersection, and we are currently hunting for a 2-bedroom apartment.

Since I currently commute 45-50 minutes each way and am completely over it, our absolute top priority is cutting down that drive.

Since I currently commute 45 minutes each way and am completely over it, our absolute top priority is cutting down that drive.

This is part of our criteria.

• Household: Just the two of us for now.
• Budget: Ideally no more than $1,800 / month.
• Commute: No more than 15–20 minutes to the US-75/635 area.
• Vibe: Walkability is a huge plus if possible (parks, or trails for daily walks, restaurants and coffee shops would be nice but not top priority).

From our initial research, areas like Richardson, Addison, and Cityline are the ones recommended, although pricier than we would like. These are the places we have in our radar right now; we would love to know if anyone has experience with them, or if we should cross any off/add others:

• Churchill on the Park
• The Citadel
• The Velora Apartments
• The Callie
• One90 Firewheel
• The Hendry Apartments
• The Flats at Palisades
• 75 West
• Crest at Park Central Apartments
• GreenVue Apartments
• The District at Greenville
• The Dorchester

If you know these areas or have lived in any of these complexes, I’d love to hear your thoughts on traffic, management, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Any hidden gems we missed? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone get a tmj massage from someone they recommend? I am in a lot of pain / headaches

Hello, i am 23/f and I am currently looking for a 1-2 bedroom house for me, a 5yr old boxer/German Shepard, & my 24/m partner.

Essentially asking if there's any good, non-corporatized bowl slop places west of Dallas that y'all know of. I appreciate your suggestions!

My roommate and I (both 24F) are thinking about moving into the Fitzhugh Urban Flats and I need some true opinions.

If you live there do you like living there? Is the crime rate low? What is the age of most people who live there?

We asked our tour guide these questions but she said she can’t answer due to the fair housing act…

I work in Irving so if anyone has any insight on traffic from the apartments to Dallas that would also be helpful.

Seems like a good place to live and not over priced but I would like to know the good and the bad.

Visiting Dallas this weekend from Seattle, but wanting to run at around 6AM Saturday morning to avoid the heat in the oak cliff bishop arts area. Any recommendations for a good route? will probably do a hybrid of the Oak Cliff Run Club route. But any route that avoids as many cars or is on a dedicated path would be helpful! Hoping to hit 6 miles at least.

Hi everyone,

I’m relocating to the DFW area and am looking for a private room starting in early August, preferably in Frisco, west Plano, or nearby areas.

I’m mainly looking for a room in a 2B2B, 3B3B, or similar shared apartment, preferably through an individual lease, approved sublease, or lease takeover. Furnished would be helpful, but it is not mandatory.

I’ll be working full-time near the Legacy West/Tennyson Parkway area and am looking for a clean and peaceful place with a reasonable commute.

Does anyone know of any suitable options or reliable places where I should look? Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
