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 DART Orange Line stops at Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing Station, the transit anchor for this corridor. Irving is a DART member city, so bus coverage here is real and matters for renters who do not drive or prefer to keep one car. The station connects to Downtown Dallas and continues west toward DFW Airport on the same line. SH-183 (Airport Freeway) runs through Irving and provides freeway access toward DFW and Dallas. I-35E intersects to the east. Travel times to Downtown Dallas and Love Field depend on direction and peak conditions on SH-183. The submarket's practical advantage is price, not amenity stacking. Utility billing method, laundry availability, and elevator access all vary building to building in ways that never appear on a listing photo. Those differences close the gap between the advertised rent and the real monthly cost faster than any fee stack in a newer submarket. Building stock ## South Irving's older garden stock: utilities, laundry, and the tier most renters miss Most of the rental inventory here was built between 1968 and 1985: garden-style apartments along Story Road, Rock Island, and Irving Boulevard, plus duplexes and small houses in the same corridors. The per-square-foot price is lower than North Irving and significantly lower than Las Colinas or the SH-114 corridor. The tier most renters miss: a thin layer of renovated 1980s and 1990s buildings within the same price range as the older stock. These do not surface from a typical listing search. We know them by address, and including them in the shortlist changes the comparison at this price point. Utilities are the non-obvious cost. Water and gas are frequently master-metered, meaning a flat monthly add-on appears on the lease rather than an individual utility account. The gap between a building that includes utilities and one that charges a flat monthly amount is large at this price point. Ask every building whether utilities are included, what the flat add-on is, and whether it varies seasonally. On-site laundry rather than in-unit connections is the norm; confirm the laundry situation before you commit if that matters to your decision. Many buildings are two to three stories with no elevator and limited ground-floor availability. If you need an accommodation for a disability, an approved assistance animal is generally not treated as a pet under federal Fair Housing rules, so pet rent and deposits generally should not apply. ## South Irving on the map Last updated: September 28, 2026 Answers ## South Irving questions What do apartments cost in South Irving? South Irving runs older 1968-to-1985 garden stock at prices meaningfully below North Irving and significantly below Las Colinas. A thin tier of renovated 1980s and 1990s buildings sits at a price close to the older stock and is worth knowing about. We send a dated list with income multiple, credit minimum, effective rent, and total monthly cost, including any utility add-ons, per property. Are utilities included? Often partially or not at all, and the billing method matters. Water and gas are frequently master-metered here, meaning the lease carries a flat monthly add-on rather than an individual account. The difference between a building that includes utilities and one that does not is large at this price point. Ask every building and confirm the flat add-on amount in writing before you apply. We include it in the total monthly cost on every property we send. Is laundry in-unit or on-site? On-site laundry shared among residents is the norm in South Irving's older garden stock. In-unit washer-dryer connections exist in some buildings but are not standard at this price point. If in-unit laundry matters to your decision, tell us at intake and we filter for it. It is a building attribute we confirm per property. Who works with a broken lease, eviction, or background item? Broken leases, credit issues, and older background items get worked here as consistently as anywhere in Dallas County, usually through a larger deposit rather than a flat denial. Before you apply anywhere, look yourself up in Dallas County court records: a dismissed case still shows on a screening report, and explaining it upfront is better than being surprised. Income is the number that decides it. We describe what each property requires and never promise approval. What deposit should I expect? Standard qualification at most buildings lands a one-month deposit. A complicated rental history, older background item, or low credit score typically results in a larger deposit, often one and a half to two months, rather than a denial. The amount varies by property and by how your specific situation reads on their criteria. We confirm the deposit range per building before you apply. Is there an elevator? Many South Irving garden apartments are two to three stories with no elevator. Ground-floor units are limited and often requested first. If elevator access or a ground-floor unit is necessary for you, tell us at intake and we filter for it. For renters with a documented disability, an approved assistance animal is generally not treated as a pet under federal Fair Housing rules; pet rent and deposits generally should not apply to an approved accommodation. Does DART serve South Irving? Yes. The DART Orange Line stops at Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing Station, the transit anchor for the Heritage District area. Irving is a DART member city with real bus coverage across the corridor, which matters for renters who do not drive or prefer one car over two. The Orange Line connects to Downtown Dallas and continues west to DFW Airport. We note the walk distance to the nearest station on each property we send. Does the search cost me anything? No. You pay nothing 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. ## Near South Irving Adjacent submarkets we cover, each with its own stock, rent band, and commute picture. ### Irving Las Colinas · Valley Ranch · Heritage District View Irving [Irving →](/neighborhoods/irving/) ### North Irving MacArthur Boulevard · Story Road · Esters Road View North Irving [North Irving →](/neighborhoods/north-irving/) ### West Dallas / Trinity Groves Trinity Groves · Fort Worth Avenue · Sylvan Avenue View West Dallas / Trinity Groves [West Dallas / Trinity Groves →](/neighborhoods/west-dallas-trinity-groves/) ![Dallas neighborhood street view with apartment buildings in daylight](/images/hero/candid-daylight-street-view-of-dallas-apartment-to.webp) Next step ## Looking in South Irving?
