The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is blessed with some of the finest and most unique rental communities in the country.  And J. Ellis can help you find the right apartment home to fit most any need, lifestyle, and budget.

In addition to the traditional 2 and 3-story “Garden Style” communities, you can also choose from numerous loft, town home, and high-rise properties.

Lofts – Trendy, cool, eclectic, open and airy; everyone has to experience the loft lifestyle at least once!  The DFW area offers scores of rental loft option, many of which are in renovated, historic buildings located in exciting and busy urban settings.  Most lofts are one large room with cement floors and an industrial finish out.  The word is minimalist!  Lots of high ceilings and windows with great views.  Yet, don’t think you will have to suffer from lack of every day apartment conviencecs.  These loft communities offer the same modern technology, conveniences, and amenities as their more conventional garden style community counterparts.

Townhomes – In the great state of Texas, a “townhome” is typically a two-story dwelling within a building or community of contiguous townhomes.  The downstairs includes the living, dining, and kitchen areas with one to three bedrooms upstairs.  Many town homes come with garages or nearby covered parking.  In addition to the home like stetting, many renters choose a townhome to avoid the potential of noisy neighbors “upstairs”.  Most tonwhomes are on the ground level with nobody above or below.  Remember, you are going to pay a little more for this privacy!

Highrises – Until the past few years, the Dallas Fort Worth area did not offer many apartment rental highrises.  Now the urban skylines are peppered with both vintage and new luxury highrise apartment communities.  Some of these high rises are historic office buildings and large warehouses that have been creatively converted to loft style apartments.  Others are new building that feature every amenity and resident service you might expect from a high-end luxury rental.

Developers have also built numerous Mid-rise apartment communities that are much like the traditional high rise but are only 4-7 story buildings.   Like the high-rise buildings, the lower mid-rise communities feature interior hallways and elevator access to all floors.  They often include underground or attached parking garages and elaborate business centers and fitness centers like their “taller” counterparts.

High rises and mid rises as well as the loft communities tend to be developed in the more dense and urban locations.  Yet, a few unique loft and mid rise properties have popped up in areas like old downtown Plano and in upscale Addison.  The greatest areas of concentration of high-rise, mid-rise and loft properties are below:
