Why This Fits Second-Chance Renters
-
Broad “Will Consider” list – They look at co-signers, first-time renters, broken leases, evictions, bankruptcies, foreclosures, and misdemeanors. That’s a wide net if you’re rebuilding.
-
Big community with stable pricing – 1 bedrooms from the mid-$700s with full W/D connections and solid amenities, which is strong value for Northeast Dallas/Lake Highlands.
-
Richardson ISD + Lake Highlands feel – Good school district reputation and a neighborhood that attracts long-term residents, families, and professionals, not just transient traffic.
If your past doesn’t match your present, this is exactly the type of place where I try to get clients a fresh start.
LIVE • WORK • PLAY – Northeast Dallas / Lake Highlands
LIVE
This community sits in the Northeast Dallas / Lake Highlands corridor, feeding into Richardson ISD, which many families intentionally seek out. You get:
-
A residential feel with mature trees and older, spacious floorplans
-
Easy access to neighborhood grocery stores, dollar stores, pharmacies, and everyday shopping
-
A mix of long-term residents, young professionals, and families who work across Dallas and the suburbs
WORK
This area works well if you’re employed in:
-
Lake Highlands, Richardson, or North Dallas offices
-
Retail, medical, call centers, or service jobs along LBJ (I-635), Skillman, or toward US-75
-
Downtown, Uptown, or central Dallas via quick freeway access
Because of the location and bus access, it’s helpful for shift work, late shifts, or flexible schedules, not just standard 9–5.
PLAY
On your off days, you’re close to:
-
Parks, fields, and rec areas commonly used by Lake Highlands families
-
Short drives to White Rock Lake, shopping centers, and casual dining
-
Local restaurants, coffee spots, and small businesses tucked throughout the Lake Highlands/Northeast Dallas area
You get a “real neighborhood” feel with easy drives to bigger city hotspots when you want more to do.
Brief History – Lake Highlands / Northeast Dallas
Lake Highlands and the surrounding Northeast Dallas pockets grew rapidly between the 1960s–1980s, becoming one of Dallas’s most stable, long-term residential areas. Many apartments were built with:
-
Larger square footage than many newer builds
-
Traditional two-story garden-style layouts
-
Big courtyards, mature trees, and plenty of outdoor space
Over time, the area has developed a reputation for:
-
Strong ties to Richardson ISD
-
Long-term homeowners and renters who stay in the area for years
-
Convenient commutes into central Dallas, north suburbs, and major employment centers
For second-chance renters, this is meaningful: you’re not just renting anywhere—you’re stepping into a community designed for longer-term stability, where you can rebuild credit, rental history, and routine.
