Las Colinas is one of the best-kept secrets in DFW: lakefront high-rises, the Toyota Music Factory, a 20-minute ride to the airport and the Orange Line to Downtown Dallas.

Irving sits at the geographic center of DFW: 15 minutes to DFW International Airport, 20 minutes to Downtown Dallas, and home to more Fortune 500 headquarters than any city its size. Las Colinas alone hosts ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark, McKesson and Fluor.
The Las Colinas Urban Center is the star — Lake Carolyn, the Mandalay Canal, the Toyota Music Factory and dozens of new mid-rise communities. Valley Ranch and Cypress Waters offer newer, quieter options, while South Irving delivers the lowest rents in the area.
With the DART Orange Line running from Las Colinas to Downtown Dallas and the airport, Irving is ideal for frequent flyers and commuters. We'll help you weigh the high-rise lifestyle against the value of Valley Ranch and MacArthur corridor communities.
Irving one-bedrooms average $1,200-$1,700 citywide; in the Las Colinas Urban Center expect $1,600-$2,300 for one bedroom and up to $3,000 for lakefront two-bedrooms.
Yes — Las Colinas combines a planned urban center (Lake Carolyn, canals, Toyota Music Factory) with major employers, the DART Orange Line and quick airport access. It is one of our most requested areas for relocating professionals.
Very close. Most Las Colinas and Valley Ranch apartments are 10-15 minutes from the terminals, and the DART Orange Line connects Las Colinas directly to DFW Airport Terminal A.
South Irving and the Heritage District offer the lowest rents ($1,000-$1,500), followed by garden-style communities along the MacArthur corridor. Las Colinas Urban Center and Cypress Waters are the premium districts.
Yes. Irving is one of our core service areas. Our licensed agents tour Irving communities weekly, know current specials, and our service is 100% free to renters — plus every client receives an Exclusive Move-In Rebate.

Yes — it is the closest apartment market to DFW Airport, 10-15 minutes from Las Colinas and Valley Ranch, and the DART Orange Line connects Las Colinas Urban Center directly to Terminal A. Many of our clients who travel weekly choose Irving for exactly that reason.
Irving spans a wide range. Las Colinas Urban Center high-rises and Water Street mid-rises run $1,700-$2,800; Valley Ranch and north Irving garden-style communities $1,300-$1,900; south Irving along Irving Boulevard and near the Heritage District is the value end at $1,000-$1,400.
In Las Colinas Urban Center you can: the DART Orange Line stops at Las Colinas, Irving Convention Center and North Lake College, and the Water Street and Toyota Music Factory districts are walkable for dining and entertainment. The rest of Irving is car-first, though DART buses cover the main corridors.
Downtown Dallas is 12-15 miles, about 20-30 minutes by car via SH-114 and SH-183 or 30 minutes on the DART Orange Line. Fort Worth is 25-30 miles, roughly 35-45 minutes via SH-183 or the TRE commuter rail from CentrePort.
Toyota Music Factory (Live Nation Pavilion, Alamo Drafthouse, two dozen restaurants) and Water Street on Lake Carolyn are the two walkable districts, both in Las Colinas. Several mid-rises sit within a few blocks of each, and the Mandalay Canal walkway connects them along the lake.
Las Colinas lease-ups typically offer four to six weeks free and waived fees; established communities in Valley Ranch and north Irving negotiate on deposits and often waive admin fees mid-lease-season. We verify specials the day you tour and every client receives our Exclusive Move-In Rebate as well.
Garden-style communities across Valley Ranch, north and south Irving include open parking with covered spots for $25-$50. Las Colinas high-rises and Urban Center mid-rises charge $50-$125 for structured garage parking; a few include the first space. We list parking costs alongside rent on every shortlist.
Yes. Lake Carolyn has several mid-rises directly on the water with paddleboard and gondola access, and the Campion Trail runs 22 miles along the Elm Fork of the Trinity past communities in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas. Ask us for the lake-view and trail-adjacent list specifically.
