WHY THIS FITS SECOND-CHANCE RENTERS
-
Flexible Approvals:
They openly state they’ll consider broken leases, evictions, bankruptcies, foreclosures, misdemeanors, and felonies, which is not common in every property. This is exactly what most second-chance renters need. -
Reasonable Income Requirement:
With 2.5x rent required (instead of 3x), it’s slightly more forgiving for renters on tight budgets or rebuilding financially. -
Comfortable, Not “Basic”:
You still get 3 pools, hot tubs, fitness center, fireplaces, and modern interiors—so you’re not punished with low-quality housing just because your history isn’t perfect. -
Family & Pet Friendly:
Dog park, playground, school bus stop, and a good ISD make it great for people with kids and pets who still need second-chance flexibility.
LIVE • WORK • PLAY — FAR NORTH DALLAS / CARROLLTON
LIVE
Far North Dallas/Carrollton gives you that sweet spot between suburban calm and city access. You’re near:
-
Major corridors like I-35E, President George Bush Turnpike (190), and Dallas North Tollway, making commutes smoother.
-
Well-established neighborhoods with mature trees, parks, and a mix of older charm and updated communities.
-
Carrollton–Farmers Branch ISD, which is popular for families who want access to schools without being deep in the city.
Everyday life is easy here—grocery stores, gyms, and pharmacies are just a short drive away, and you can find both budget-friendly and upscale apartments in the same radius, which helps if you’re rebuilding credit and planning to “level up” over time.
WORK
This area is ideal if you work in:
-
North Dallas, Addison, Carrollton, Plano, or Farmers Branch
-
Office parks along the Dallas North Tollway and George Bush Turnpike
-
Corporate centers off Belt Line, Midway, Marsh, and Josey
You’re within reach of major employers in:
-
Tech & IT
-
Finance & banking
-
Healthcare & medical offices
-
Logistics, distribution, and warehouse hubs along I-35E
The beauty of this location is you can work in Dallas, Plano, or even Irving/Las Colinas, but still go home to a quieter, more residential community with ample parking and green spaces.
PLAY
For fun, you’re close to:
-
Addison’s restaurant row (Belt Line): tons of dining, lounges, and brunch spots
-
Parks and trails like Carrollton Greenbelt, local recreation centers, and sports fields
-
Short drives to Galleria Dallas, Willow Bend Mall, and various shopping centers
-
Casual entertainment like bowling alleys, movie theaters, coffee shops, and dessert spots
Whether you’re into late-night food runs, low-key coffee shop hangs, or taking the kids to local parks, this area lets you relax without having to drive 45 minutes for something to do.
BRIEF HISTORY — CARROLLTON / FAR NORTH DALLAS
Carrollton began as a small agricultural and milling community in the 1800s, built around railroads and farming. Over time, as Dallas expanded north, Carrollton transformed into a major first-ring suburb, drawing in families, professionals, and small businesses.
By the late 20th century, the area became known for:
-
Diverse neighborhoods with affordable single-family homes and apartments
-
Proximity to major highways, which pulled in corporate employers and commuters
-
A strong mix of cultures, small businesses, and family-owned restaurants
Far North Dallas grew up alongside Carrollton, shifting from ranch land and open fields into a collection of apartment communities, office parks, and residential neighborhoods. Today, it’s a go-to spot for people who want to be near the action of North Dallas and Addison but still have a quieter, residential home base—with solid access to jobs, schools, and shopping.
HOW I CAN HELP (FAST-TRACK APPROVAL)
Finding second-chance apartments on your own can be frustrating, confusing, and time-consuming. That’s where I come in.
Here’s how I help you win instead of spin your wheels:
-
Review Your Situation First
We talk through your broken lease, eviction, bankruptcy, or criminal history so I know exactly where you stand. -
Match You With Properties That Actually Fit
I only send options that line up with your history, income, pets, and move date—saving you from wasted applications and fees. -
Pre-Screen with the Property
I call properties in advance to pre-approve you so tours aren’t wasted.
This step alone can save you hundreds in app/admin fees. -
Curated List & Strategy
I’ll send a custom list focused on your target areas (like Far North Dallas, Carrollton, Addison, etc.) with notes on what each property will and won’t consider. -
Landlord Communication Tips
I’ll help you know what to say (and what to avoid) when speaking with leasing staff about your history. -
Ongoing Support Until You’re Housed
I stay in your corner while you tour, narrow down choices, and move toward approval.
My service is free to you — the apartment communities pay my fee as long as you write in my name and brokerage on your paperwork.
