Glenn Heights Apartment Locator: New Subdivision Houses on the County Line
Free help from your Glenn Heights apartment locator: we checked 4 places this week, from $1,219 a month after free rent. Glenn Heights sits on the Dallas and Ellis county line along I-35E. Most of what rents here is newer houses, many in rental home communities, rather than apartment complexes. New subdivision phases keep opening, so the supply shifts month to month. Unlike its neighbors this far south, it's a DART member city. Service is GoLink, a ride you book inside a set zone, not a train or regular bus line.

Why our prices are lower than what the community quotes
When a community gives free rent, we spread it over the whole lease and show what you pay a month on average. The community quotes the full rent, and many take the free rent off your first months. You pay the same total either way. Our way lets you compare one deal with another. Fees and the deposit are extra.

Areas we cover inside Glenn Heights
Hampton Road CorridorHampton Road runs north and south through Glenn Heights, linking it to DeSoto and Lancaster.
Houses and a few rental communities sit off it, and it's the back way north when I-35E backs up.
Ovilla Road CorridorOvilla Road heads southwest out of the Glenn Heights and Red Oak area toward Ovilla.
Newer subdivisions line much of it, with rentals mostly in houses and the county line running nearby.
Heritage ParkHeritage Park is the main city park on East Bear Creek Road, in the middle of Glenn Heights.
Houses fill the streets around it, and I-35E sits a short way east.
Bear CreekBear Creek Road is one of the city's main east and west roads, with I-35E on its east end and subdivisions along both sides.
Most rentals here are houses in neighborhoods like Heritage Lakes at Bear Creek.
Red Oak CreekRed Oak Creek flows south from this end of Glenn Heights toward Ovilla and Red Oak.
Homes near it sit on newer streets toward the Ellis County side, and some lots back up to the creek's floodplain.
Glenn Heights Apartment Locator Work Mostly Means Finding Houses
- How DART's GoLink zone reaches an address, since membership doesn't mean a bus on every street
- Dallas or Ellis County, and DeSoto or Red Oak ISD, to check for each house
- HOA rules on parking, pets and lawns, to read before you commit to a subdivision home
- Rental home companies with written rules for approval with conditions, for a credit or history problem
DART GoLink and the Drive North
DART membership sets Glenn Heights apart from most southern suburbs, but riders get GoLink, a van you book for rides within a set zone, not a rail stop. Check how it serves the address before you count on it.
I-35E is the road north. Downtown Dallas is about 27 minutes away with no traffic by our drive times, and about 31 at 8am. Bear Creek Road meets the interstate at the city's edge and Ovilla Road reaches it near Red Oak. Northbound I-35E slows at rush hour, and Hampton Road is the slower but steadier back way toward DeSoto and Lancaster.
The county line runs through town, so check which county a house is in. It changes the tax rate the owner pays, and that can show up in the rent.
Mostly Houses in Glenn Heights, With HOA Rules
Apartment complexes are few. The city's growth is mostly newer houses and rental home communities in fresh subdivisions. Found nothing this month? Look again next month, since new phases keep opening.
In those subdivisions the HOA writes its own rules on parking, pets and lawn care, and renters have to follow them just like owners, whatever the lease says. Before you say yes to a house, get a copy of those HOA papers.
Rental home companies screen by written rules, and many will approve with conditions. That often makes them easier to qualify with than an owner who has no set process. Some newer streets toward Red Oak Creek back up to its floodplain, so check the flood map for those lots.
A day in Glenn Heights
Glenn Heights is a small town of houses along I-35E at the south edge of Dallas County. It stays quiet, and groceries and a movie are a few minutes up or down the highway.
Getting out of Glenn Heights
I-35E is the main way in and out. Our 8am drive times run about 31 minutes to Downtown Dallas, 37 to the Medical District, 46 to DFW Airport and 54 to Legacy West. There's no train line here. The interstate slows at rush hour heading north, so many drivers use Hampton Road as the back way.

What we tell renters about Glenn Heights

Glenn Heights questions
Are there apartment complexes in Glenn Heights?
Only a few. Most rentals are newer houses in the subdivisions, many run by rental home companies, and new phases keep adding more. At the complexes in and near town, a typical one bedroom runs $1,362, and the cheapest open one we saw is $1,219.
Does DART serve Glenn Heights?
Yes, through GoLink, a ride you book within a set zone. There's no train or fixed bus line, so check whether the zone covers the address you're considering.
Which school district serves a Glenn Heights house?
DeSoto ISD or Red Oak ISD, depending on the street. The boundary doesn't follow obvious streets, so ask the district about the specific house.
How do HOA rules affect renting a house here?
In the newer subdivisions, the HOA's limits on breeds, parking and yard upkeep apply to tenants too. Read them before you sign. An owner who's fine with your pet can't overrule them.
Is there an apartment locator near Glenn Heights?
Yes, and in Glenn Heights that mostly means finding houses. We watch the rental home communities and owner listings in the subdivisions and send the houses that fit. Check the county, school district and HOA rules for each one before you sign.
