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.

The Tollway puts Downtown 15 to 20 minutes south outside peak. Preston Road covers the same commute but adds a practical constraint: the stretch between Northwest Highway and Royal backs up at school pickup hours, typically 3pm to 4pm on weekday afternoons. Renters on standard office schedules commuting against that traffic generally do not feel it. Renters whose workday overlaps with pickup hours should factor it in before choosing an address with a Preston Road entrance. **UT Southwestern Medical Center** and **NorthPark Center** are both within ten minutes - south on the Tollway and east on Northwest Highway, respectively. No DART rail serves this corridor. Preston Road and the Tollway are the two practical driving options. The Northaven Trail runs east-west through the neighborhood and has been extended toward the Cottonwood Trail, making it a usable walking and cycling route rather than a park strip. Most people who do not already live here do not know about it. We note trail access per property where it applies. Parking is not the constraint it is in the urban core. Most buildings in the corridor include parking as part of the lease. Surface parking and garages are standard. Street parking in the residential interior is generally available without a permit. Building stock ## Rental Stock: Mid-Rise, Garden, and Condo Options The honest inventory picture is that most of Preston Hollow is single-family residential. Apartments exist, but renters who expect a long list of options find a short one. The practical search usually extends into North Dallas and Far North Dallas before it is complete. The institutional product is high-end mid-rise on Preston Road and Walnut Hill Lane. Several of these buildings require a 13- or 15-month minimum term. That condition is worth knowing before you fall for a building if your move timeline is shorter. Month 13 resets toward market, so the renewal number at the end of year one belongs in the decision before you sign year one. Ask what the specific unit renewed at last year. Older garden stock sits along Marsh Lane and the western edge of the corridor. Condo rentals and individually owned houses fill in across the residential grid. Individually owned units carry a separate verification step: listing type, HOA restrictions if applicable, and whether the owner screens on standard or individual criteria. Listing type changes what happens at the guest card, how compensation works, and what the application process looks like. Asset-based qualification is the variable that makes this corridor unusual compared to the rest of the North Dallas market. A meaningful share of the renter pool has recently sold a house: equity-rich, income-light on documented pay stubs. Standard income multiples of 3x rent may not match that financial profile. The Marsh Lane and western-edge garden buildings have the most flexibility on asset statements and bank reserves as qualification documents. The Preston corridor mid-rise buildings are generally less flexible on this. ## Preston Hollow on the map Last updated: September 28, 2026 Answers ## Preston Hollow questions Is there a minimum lease term on Preston Hollow apartments? Several buildings on the Preston Road corridor require a 13- or 15-month minimum. That term changes the renewal math: month 13 typically resets toward market, so the concession or introductory rent from year one does not carry forward. We confirm the lease term requirement per building before you visit so you are not planning around a timeline the building cannot accommodate. Where are the actual apartments in Preston Hollow? Most of Preston Hollow is single-family residential. Apartments cluster in two places: high-end mid-rise on Preston Road and Walnut Hill Lane, and older garden stock along Marsh Lane and the western edge of the corridor. Condo and house rentals from individual owners exist across the residential grid. If you need more options, extending the shortlist into North Dallas and Far North Dallas is the practical move before committing to this search exclusively. How bad is Preston Road traffic at 3pm? The stretch of Preston Road between Northwest Highway and Royal Lane backs up at school pickup hours, typically 3pm to 4pm on weekday afternoons. Renters commuting against that traffic on standard office schedules do not feel it. Renters whose workday aligns with that window should know before choosing an address with a Preston Road entrance. We note which buildings access from Preston Road versus a side street. Can I qualify on assets instead of income in this area? Yes, at the right buildings. Several of the Marsh Lane and western-edge garden properties will qualify applicants on bank statements and asset reserves rather than pay stubs, which is relevant for renters who have recently sold a house and have equity but limited documented income. The Preston corridor mid-rise buildings are generally less flexible on this. We match the income profile to the buildings where that path is actually open and describe what each requires. We never promise approval. Where does the Northaven Trail go? The Northaven Trail runs east-west through the neighborhood and has been extended to connect toward the Cottonwood Trail. The combined route is a genuine walking and cycling path that most people outside the neighborhood do not know about. Access and trail proximity vary by building. We note it on properties where it is relevant. How far is Downtown from this corridor? Preston Road to the Dallas North Tollway puts Downtown 15 to 20 minutes south outside peak. No DART rail serves the corridor, so the drive is the only practical option. Preston Road carries the same commute but adds the school-pickup variable between Northwest Highway and Royal. Most residents keep a car. Do you charge for finding an apartment here? No. Dallas Apartment Locators Group is free to renters - your rent is identical to what you would find on your own. The community pays a referral fee from its marketing budget.
