Why This Fits Second-Chance Renters
-
Very Clear “Will Consider” List
They openly list broken leases, evictions, bankruptcies, foreclosures, misdemeanors, and felonies as items they will consider. That’s a big deal—many properties never put that in writing. This is a strong second-chance indicator. -
Co-Signers & First-Time Renters Allowed
If your income or credit is borderline, the willingness to accept co-signers and first-time renters creates extra paths to approval. -
Townhome Floorplans & Variety
With efficiencies, 1x1s, flats, and townhomes up to 3 bedrooms, you can start small while rebuilding your rental history and then consider upsizing later—without having to completely change areas.

-
Easy access to US-75 (Central Expressway) and LBJ/635, making commutes into Dallas, Plano, and the rest of North Dallas straightforward.
-
A mix of quiet residential neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and nearby retail, so you aren’t isolated from grocery stores, pharmacies, and daily conveniences.
-
Being in Richardson ISD, which is known for long-standing neighborhood schools and a stable community feel.
Work – Telecom Corridor & Major Employers
Richardson is home to the famous Telecom Corridor, with a dense cluster of tech, telecom, and corporate employers. You’re a reasonable commute to:
-
Major employers along US-75 and the Bush Turnpike, including tech, finance, and corporate offices.
-
UT Dallas (just north in Richardson/Plano area), with jobs in education, research, and campus support.
-
Large employment centers in nearby Dallas, Plano, Addison, and North Dallas, all within typical commutes thanks to the highway network and DART connections.
Play – Parks, Shopping, & Food
From this Richardson location, it’s easy to reach:
-
Neighborhood parks and walking paths, community centers, and sports fields.
-
Shopping/dining along Coit, Belt Line, Campbell, and US-75, plus short drives to Addison’s restaurant row and North Dallas retail.

Entertainment options in adjacent cities like Plano, Garland, and North Dallas, giving you access to everything from casual spots to big-box shopping and nightlife, while you still come home to a quieter, residential setting.
Brief History – Richardson, Texas
Richardson began as a small railroad town in the late 1800s, positioned along the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. Over time, as Dallas grew northward, Richardson transitioned from rural farmland into a suburban community.
The biggest transformation came in the mid to late 20th century with the growth of the Telecom Corridor—a stretch of US-75 that became home to numerous technology and telecommunications companies. That tech presence, along with the growth of UT Dallas, turned Richardson into a major employment hub while still retaining its neighborhood-school, residential character.
Today, Richardson is known for:
-
A diverse population
-
Strong public schools in Richardson ISD
-
A blend of older established neighborhoods and newer redevelopment projects
All of that makes it an appealing place for renters who want a stable, amenity-rich area while they work on rebuilding credit and rental history.
How I Can Help (Fast-Track Approval)
As your Second Chance Leasing locator, here is what I do for you at this Richardson property and others:
-
Review your situation (credit issues, prior evictions, broken lease, background) and match you only with communities that realistically work.
-
Break down the 2.75x income requirement, background items, and fee structure in plain language before you pay any application fees.
-
I call properties in advance to pre-approve you so tours aren’t wasted.
-
Help you decide whether to use a co-signer, spouse, or roommate to strengthen your file when allowed.
-
Build a custom apartment list for you (Richardson + surrounding cities) that highlights which ones are best for second-chance files.
-
Stay with you through the process—if something changes (denial, job change, needing a lower budget, etc.), we pivot to other options quickly.
My job is to save you time, money, and stress, and help you land an approval instead of a stack of denials.
