Dallas is famously a driving city, with two big exceptions that change the daily routine for homeowners and business owners alike. Our professional service team helps clients find the best **Apartments Near DART** to make that car-free lifestyle possible across the Dallas high rise apartments [/ →](/) we track. **Downtown** acts as the main hub where every light rail line meets. This central location connects you easily to **Akard**, **Pearl/Arts District**, **West End**, and **Convention Center** stations. We love how **Uptown** pairs the DART rail at **Cityplace/Uptown Station** with the free **McKinney Avenue Trolley (M-Line)**. That specific corridor carries a base **Walk Score of 89 and a Transit Score of 87**. Address points like 1500 Main Street actually hit a walker’s paradise score of 96. Our local favorites include **Deep Ellum Station** as a third option just one stop east of Downtown. **Park Lane Station** also serves the Aspire Park Lane area near NorthPark Center beautifully. Riding the 93-mile light rail network makes perfect sense if you want to run errands on foot. We think it is the ideal setup for anyone keeping a fleet vehicle or personal car only for weekends. ## Matching You by Station, Not Just Neighborhood Finding great **Apartments Near DART** requires looking at the actual walking distance to the platform. “Near DART” in a listing can mean a two-minute stroll or a sweaty twenty-minute hike. We shortlist your options based on the exact station you need for your daily commute. Professionals heading to the AT&T Discovery District will appreciate the convenience of Main Street and Akard Street towers. Those working in the Arts District should check out Atelier and AMLI Fountain Place. Our measurements show AMLI Fountain Place sits just a quick one-minute walk from the **Pearl/Arts District Station**. Renters who want the M-Line right outside their door should look at McKinney Avenue towers like **Cortland M-Line** and **3700M**. The Cortland property boasts a massive 97 Walk Score, placing the trolley and local shops right at your doorstep. Our team loves showing off these specific trolley-accessible buildings. Top building matches for popular stations: - **AT&T Discovery District:** Main Street and Akard Street high-rises. - **Arts District:** Atelier and AMLI Fountain Place (one minute to the platform). - **M-Line Trolley Route:** **Cortland M-Line** and **3700M** on McKinney Avenue. > **Advisor note** > > Walk the route from the building to the station during your tour, at the time you’d actually commute. Five minutes on a map can feel very different in August heat. ## What Car-Free Living Saves Every high rise in Dallas either charges a premium for parking or prices it directly into your rent. Dropping a dedicated space saves that monthly fee, plus car insurance, fuel, and regular maintenance. We always show clients the true financial impact of these transportation choices. A 2025 AAA study revealed that the average ownership cost for a new vehicle sits at a staggering $11,577 annually. Monthly parking in a downtown Dallas garage averages around $114 and can easily hit $217 for a dedicated spot. Our math proves that paying a bit more for a premium location often saves you money. A tower located two blocks from your station can come out cheaper all-in than a farther building with a mandatory parking charge. Finding these sweet spots makes a huge difference in your annual budget. Our detailed parking comparison [/high-rise-apartments-with-parking/ →](/high-rise-apartments-with-parking/) shows the other side of that math so you can make an informed choice. | Monthly Expense | Typical Dallas Cost | Car-Free Savings | | --- | --- | --- | | Dedicated Parking | $114 to $217 | 100% saved | | Vehicle Ownership (AAA) | $965 | 100% saved | | Fuel & Insurance | Varies widely | 100% saved | ## Getting to the Airports Frequent flyers based Downtown will find that light rail makes business travel highly realistic. DART’s **Orange Line** runs directly to **DFW International Airport**. We usually remind travelers to plan for about a 50-minute ride from the Akard Station to the airport terminals. This consistent travel time helps you avoid the unpredictable highway traffic on I-35E. **Dallas Love Field** is about **20 minutes** by car from Uptown. Our comprehensive guide to commuting from Dallas high rises [/guide/commuting-from-dallas-high-rises-to-employer-hubs/ →](/guide/commuting-from-dallas-high-rises-to-employer-hubs/) covers employer hubs and airports corridor by corridor. Airport transit connections at a glance: - **DFW Airport:** Direct access via the Orange Line. - **Dallas Love Field:** Quick 20-minute drive from Uptown. - **Inwood/Love Field Station:** Local connections via Green and Orange lines. You will find exact routes mapped out for easy planning. Having options for both major hubs is a massive perk for busy professionals. Our team loves how easy this makes weekly travel schedules. ## Day-to-Day Life Without a Car Picking the right location makes daily errands completely effortless. In Uptown, you can easily walk to local dining, the Katy Trail, and Klyde Warren Park. We highly recommend checking out the Target Cityplace Market and Kroger located right at the Cityplace/Uptown station. Whole Foods on McKinney Avenue also makes grabbing organic groceries a breeze. Downtown adds amazing Main Street dining, the vibrant Farmers Market, and the cultural events in the Arts District. Our guide on living car-free in a Dallas high rise [/guide/living-car-free-in-a-dallas-high-rise/ →](/guide/living-car-free-in-a-dallas-high-rise/) goes deeper on running errands, handling the weather, and what to expect. Daily conveniences you can reach on foot: - **Groceries:** Whole Foods (Uptown), Target Cityplace Market, and Tom Thumb (Field Street). - **Dining & Fresh Food:** Main Street restaurants and the Dallas Farmers Market. - **Recreation:** The Katy Trail and Klyde Warren Park. - **Transit Links:** Bike share docks perfectly fill the gaps between rail stops. ### Your Next Step to Transit-Friendly Living Finding the perfect **Apartments Near DART** is easier than you think.

Common Pitfalls ## What Goes Wrong When You Search for Near DART Alone ### 'Near DART' can mean a long walk Listings stretch the phrase. We confirm the actual walk to your station and line before you tour. ### Station and line matter Downtown touches every DART line, but Uptown relies on the M-Line trolley plus a short DART connection. Your commute decides the building. ### Parking you may not need If you go car-free, skipping a parking space can offset a higher rent. Most portals never show that comparison. ### Noise near the tracks Some stacks face rail or event traffic. We flag which floors and exposures run quieter. Named Buildings, Published Rents ## Which Dallas High Rises Are Best for Transit Commuters? Downtown towers sit on top of the DART rail hub, and Uptown's McKinney Avenue towers line the free M-Line trolley. Walking distances to specific stations vary by building, so we confirm yours when we shortlist. | Building | Corridor | Class | Built | Floors | Beds | Rent range | Current special | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | The Continental at Mercantile Place 1810 Commerce · Brookfield | Downtown | A · 2.9★ | 2013 | 11 | 1-2BR | $1,049–$1,993 | 2 mo free | | The Kirby 1509 Main · Sentinel | Downtown | C · 3.3★ | 1913/2017 | 17 | 0-2BR | $1,143–$3,662 | 1 mo free | | Main 3 Downtown 1407 Main St · Sentinel | Downtown | A · 3.6★ | 2006/2024 | 17 | 0-2BR | $1,204–$4,927 | 1 mo free | | The Drakestone 1309 Main St | Downtown | A+ · 4.5★ | 2019 | 20 | 0-2BR | $1,470–$4,999 | 1 mo free | | Mosaic Dallas 300 N Akard St · ZRS | Downtown | C · 3.3★ | 1952/2007 | 31 | 0-3BR | $1,594–$5,680 | 2 mo free + $500 L&L | | The Sinclair Residences 405 N Ervay · ZRS | Downtown | A+ · 4.7★ | 2024 | 49 | 0-3BR | $2,420–$10,615 | 1.5 mo free | | Gables Republic Tower 350 N Ervay · Gables | Downtown | A- · 4.2★ | 2006 | 36 | 1-3BR | $1,615–$4,993 | $1K gift card | | Atelier Tower 1801 N Pearl St · Willow Bridge | Downtown | A+ · 4.3★ | 2021 | 41 | 0-3BR | $1,840–$11,697 | 2 mo free + L&L | | AMLI Fountain Place 1800 N Field St | Downtown | A+ · 4.4★ | 2020 | 45 | 1-3BR | $2,222–$11,987 | Ask us | | The Christopher at the Union 2323 N Akard St · Willow Bridge | Uptown | A+ · 4.2★ | 2019 | 23 | 0-3BR | $2,085–$6,683 | Ask us | | Cortland M-Line 3200 McKinney Ave | Uptown | A+ · 4.3★ | 2017 | 20 | 1-2BR | $2,330–$5,785 | 2 wks free | | 3700M 3700 McKinney Ave · Cortland | Uptown | A+ | 2014 | 21 | 0-2BR | $2,474–$5,149 | 1 mo free | | The Victor 3039 Nowitzki Way · Hines | Uptown | A+ · 4.7★ | 2020 | 39 | 0-3BR | $2,121–$14,244 | 2 mo free | | Aspire Park Lane 8066 Park Lane, NE Dallas · TDC | Frisco, Plano & North Dallas | A+ · 3.8★ | 2008/2024 | 20 | 0-3BR | $1,951–$4,229 | 2 mo free | Rents are published ranges across unit types and change weekly.
