Serving Pleasant Grove and surrounding areas
Apartment Locator for Pleasant Grove, Dallas
Pleasant Grove runs large 1968-to-1985 garden apartment complexes along Buckner Boulevard and Lake June Road in southeast Dallas. Three- and four-bedroom availability ranks among the best inside city limits. The corridor handles broken leases, credit issues, and older criminal history more consistently than most of the city, usually through a larger deposit and higher move-in cost. Green Line service at Lake June and Buckner stations puts Downtown within reach without a car.

The gap
Where Pleasant Grove Renters Lose Money
The same four mechanics decide the true cost of a lease in Pleasant Grove as anywhere else in Dallas. None of them are printed on the sign.
01
The rent on the sign is not the cost
Amenity, parking, package, valet trash, and pet fees separate two buildings advertising the same number. The gap is routinely triple digits a month.
02
Concessions are quoted in weeks, not months
Six weeks free is 42 days. A free February is 28 days; a free July is 31. Monthly math breaks the moment the concession is not a whole month, and most are not.
03
Income decides approval, not the score
Most Dallas properties want 3x rent in gross monthly income. Some run 2.5x. A few run 2x. Guessing which is which costs $50 to $75 per application, and applications do not come back.
04
Free rent can become a debt
Break a lease early at most concession-heavy buildings and the concession is repayable. The clawback terms sit in a lease addendum rather than the lease body, so most renters never read them.

Local logistics
Getting Around: DART Green Line and I-30 Access
Pleasant Grove sits roughly 15 to 20 minutes southeast of Downtown via I-30. Buckner Boulevard runs north-south through the center of the neighborhood and connects to I-30 at the northern edge. Lake June Road crosses east-west through the interior. The surrounding street grid is residential with wide arterials at the boundaries.
Lake June Station and Buckner Station on the DART Green Line sit inside the neighborhood. Most descriptions of this corridor call it transit-poor; that is wrong. From Lake June Station or Buckner Station, the Green Line reaches Deep Ellum and Downtown without a transfer. Lawnview and Hatcher stations extend the accessible corridor to the northwest. A renter who lives within walking distance of one of these stations can commute to Downtown without a car.
Surface parking at the garden complexes here is not the constraint it is in the urban core. Most units include parking with the unit. The question to ask is not whether parking exists but what the utility billing method is, because that changes total monthly cost more than the parking line does.
Building stock
1968-to-1985 garden stock: what to confirm before you commit
The dominant product is large multi-building garden complexes from 1968 to 1985, with surface parking lots and unit sizes that run larger than most of Dallas at the same price point. Three- and four-bedroom units are available in genuine volume here. At the current Dallas market average of $1,593, down 0.35% year over year (RentCafe/Yardi Matrix, July 2, 2026), three-bedroom units in this corridor are among the better value options inside the city limits.
The utility question matters more here than in most Dallas submarkets. Water and gas are frequently master-metered at these complexes, and flat monthly utility add-ons are common. The difference between a building that includes utilities in rent and one that bills separately is often $80 to $120 a month. Ask the billing method and the average monthly add-on for the specific unit size on every property before comparing headline rents. Some buildings fold water, gas, and trash into a flat charge; others meter electricity individually and bundle the rest. The number you need is the true monthly cost, not the headline.
Second-chance situations are worked here more consistently than almost anywhere else inside the city. Broken leases, credit issues, and older criminal history all have real pathways through a larger deposit and higher move-in cost. Every property decides for itself, and criteria shift with occupancy. Look yourself up in Dallas County court records before you apply: a dismissed case still shows on a screening report, and being able to explain it proactively is better than being surprised by it. Income remains the primary qualifier at most properties.
Three- and four-bedroom units turn slowly by Dallas standards, but the best ones go fast when they become available. Have documentation ready before the search rather than after you find a unit.

Answers
Pleasant Grove questions
Where are the three- and four-bedroom apartments in Pleasant Grove?
Most of the three- and four-bedroom stock is in the large 1968-to-1985 garden complexes along Buckner Boulevard and Lake June Road. Availability in this size class runs deeper here than almost anywhere inside the Dallas city limits at a real price. Send your budget and move date and the list comes back with income multiple, utility billing method, and total monthly cost per property. Three-bedroom units go fast when they turn; have documentation ready before you start.
Are utilities included in Pleasant Grove apartments?
It varies by building, and the difference matters more here than in most Dallas submarkets. Water and gas are frequently master-metered, and flat monthly utility add-ons are common. The gap between a building that includes utilities and one that bills separately can be $80 to $120 a month at the same headline rent. Ask the billing method and the average monthly add-on for the specific unit size on every property before comparing numbers.
Does the DART Green Line serve Pleasant Grove?
Yes. Lake June Station and Buckner Station on the DART Green Line sit inside the neighborhood. Most descriptions of this area wrongly call it transit-poor. From either station the Green Line reaches Deep Ellum and Downtown without a transfer. Lawnview and Hatcher stations extend the corridor northwest. We list walk distance to the nearest Green Line station on each property we send.
What apartments accept broken leases or bad credit in Pleasant Grove?
Garden complexes along Buckner Boulevard and Lake June Road handle broken leases, credit issues, and older criminal history more consistently than most Dallas corridors, usually through a larger deposit and higher move-in cost. Every property decides for itself and criteria shift with occupancy. Look yourself up in Dallas County court records first: a dismissed case still shows on a screening report, and explaining it proactively is better than being surprised. Income is the primary qualifier at most properties: 3x rent at most, 2.5x at some. We describe what each property requires and never promise approval.
What deposit should I expect if my credit or history is complicated?
A larger deposit commonly replaces a denial here. The amount varies by property and by how full the building is at the time. We describe what each property requires and never quote a specific deposit amount without a verification date. What we can tell you before you apply: which properties work with which situations and what they typically ask for.
How fast do the good units go?
Three- and four-bedroom units turn slowly by Dallas standards, but the best ones go in days when they do open. Have your documentation ready before you find the unit: pay stubs, ID, bank statements, and any explanation letters for credit or history situations. A completed application on day one beats a perfect application on day three.
What landmarks are there in this area?
Crawford Memorial Park is the main green space. Grover C. Keeton Golf Course sits at the southern end. Big Spring at Pemberton Hill is a natural spring and one of the oldest continuously used sites in Dallas County, genuinely interesting and rarely mentioned in apartment search conversations. Schools are Dallas ISD; check the district boundary lookup for the specific address.
Is the search free?
No cost to you and your rent is identical to what you would find on your own. The community pays a referral fee from its marketing budget. List our name and your agent's name on the guest card and application so the service stays free.
