Gated garden apartments line long stretches of it, and DFW Airport is roughly fifteen minutes away. - **Story Road**: Story Road cuts through the middle of Irving, from south Irving up toward SH-183 and beyond. Older garden apartments and houses sit along its northern half, near Airport Freeway. - **Esters Road**: Esters Road runs along north Irving's west side, near the east edge of DFW Airport. Apartment communities and offices sit along it, and SH-114 and SH-161 are a short drive. - **Belt Line Road**: Belt Line Road crosses north Irving from north to south, running from SH-183 up into Valley Ranch and Coppell. Garden apartments and shopping line it, and LBJ Freeway is the main highway at its north end. - **Walnut Hill Lane**: Walnut Hill Lane crosses north Irving east to west near Las Colinas. Garden apartments and gated communities sit along it, with O'Connor and MacArthur boulevards close by. - **Valley Ranch**: Valley Ranch sits in Irving's northern tip between the Elm Fork of the Trinity and Coppell, with canals, trails and parks. Garden apartments from the 1980s and 1990s fill much of it, and I-635 and SH-114 are both close. ## North Irving Apartments With Garages Along MacArthur - We ask whether each garage is included or billed monthly, since leases here go both ways - We look for units for day sleepers away from the pool equipment and breezeway foot traffic - We remind you to listen for flight noise at two times of day at the MacArthur addresses you like ## Minutes to DFW, the Orange Line and the Flight Paths The corridor follows MacArthur Boulevard from SH-183 north toward SH-114 and the Coppell line, with Valley Ranch on its northeast side. DFW's Terminal A and the employee lots are a short drive west, which is the main draw for anyone working at the airport. The Orange Line stops at Belt Line Station and DFW Airport Terminal A. Irving is part of DART, so the buses here are a real way around rush hour on SH-114 and I-35E. SH-183 runs the south edge and I-635 the north, both west to the airport's entrances. Lake Carolyn and the Toyota Music Factory are a few minutes east. Planes switch runways with the wind, so on a busy afternoon a building two miles from the field can be louder than one a mile away. Listen at the address at two different hours before you sign. ## Garages, Pets and Quiet for Day Sleepers Most buildings here are older gated garden communities with covered parking. Plenty have attached garages, and those lease quickly. Ask in writing whether the garage is part of the base rent or a separate monthly charge. It varies enough between buildings to change which one is cheaper. The large management companies along MacArthur have set rules, but their income bar is lower than at the newer, pricier communities in Las Colinas and along SH-114. Most take pets, with breed rules, weight limits and monthly pet rent that differ by property. Sleep days after a night shift? Ask how close the unit is to the pool equipment and the breezeways. Maintenance work and foot traffic keep their own hours. ## Living in North Irving North Irving runs up MacArthur Boulevard into Valley Ranch. It's close to DFW Airport and Las Colinas, with canals, a long river trail and one big shopping center for errands. ### Highways, the airport and Las Colinas From the center of the area at 8am, our times run about 18 minutes to DFW Airport, 20 to the Medical District, 25 to Downtown and 27 to Legacy West. SH-161, the Bush Turnpike, meets I-635 near Valley Ranch, so the north end reaches Coppell and Grapevine fast. Orange Line trains serve Las Colinas at the Urban Center and the convention center. - **Irving Convention Center station** (rail station): Take the Orange Line here for shows at the convention center or the music venue next door, and skip event parking. ### Canals, trails and the river Valley Ranch was built around canals with walking paths that double as flood control. Cimarron Park, the main city park there, has a gym, tennis courts and a pool. The Campion Trail starts at Sam Houston Trail Park in Valley Ranch and follows the Elm Fork of the Trinity south toward Las Colinas. The north section alone runs about 7 miles. Down in Las Colinas, Lake Carolyn and the Mandalay Canal walk have kayaks and pedal boats. - **Campion Trail** (trail): Park at Sam Houston Trail Park and ride south along the river on a weekend morning before it heats up. - **Lake Carolyn** (lake): Rent a kayak or pedal boat on a calm weekend afternoon, then walk the canal paths for dinner. ### One stop errands MacArthur Park, at MacArthur Boulevard and I-635, is the big shopping center for the north end, with easy reach from SH-114 and the Bush Turnpike. Target and Kroger are the big stores, and TJ Maxx, Ross, Michaels, Ulta and Office Depot share the same lot. One stop covers groceries and most errands. - **MacArthur Park** (shopping center): Do groceries and Target in one stop; weekday mornings beat the Saturday rush in the big lot. ### Landmarks and shows in Las Colinas The Mustangs of Las Colinas, nine bronze wild horses running through water at Williams Square, are a short drive south. They're among the largest horse sculptures in the world. The Irving Convention Center, next to its own Orange Line stop, hosts concerts, conferences and trade shows through the year. - **Mustangs of Las Colinas** (landmark): Stop by with visiting friends to see nine bronze horses charge through the fountain; mornings are quiet and the light is good. ### What we tell renters here The Campion Trail sits in the Elm Fork floodplain, so parts of it close after heavy rain; check before a long ride. If you work at the airport, try the drive at your shift hour, since early morning and late night times run shorter than our 8am numbers. ## North Irving questions What kind of apartments are in North Irving? Mostly older gated garden communities along MacArthur Boulevard, Story Road and Esters Road, with covered parking and many attached garages. Newer, pricier buildings sit along SH-114 toward Coppell. Along MacArthur, the median one bedroom, with specials spread out, is $1,152 right now. Is the garage included in the rent? Sometimes. Some buildings include it in the rent and others bill it monthly, and it can even change from unit to unit. Get it in writing and add it to your monthly total. How loud is the airplane noise in North Irving? It changes with the address and the runways in use. Visit twice, once at a busy departure hour, before you commit. Do MacArthur corridor buildings take low credit scores? Often. The older MacArthur communities have set rules but a lower income bar than the newer buildings, so steady income goes a long way. Our [low credit page](/bad-credit-accepted/) covers your options. How far is North Irving from the DFW employee lots? A short drive from most MacArthur addresses. Time it from the unit to your own lot at your shift start, since early morning runs differ from rush hour. Does DART serve North Irving? Yes, through the Orange Line at Belt Line and DFW Airport Terminal A, plus Irving's bus routes. Time the walk to the station first. Which school district serves North Irving? Mostly Irving ISD, with the north edge in Coppell ISD and some addresses in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. Check the address with the district. Is there an apartment locator near North Irving? Yes. Along MacArthur we ask about what listings skip: whether the garage costs extra, how each manager weighs credit, and which units are quiet enough to sleep days after an airport shift. ## Near North Irving Las Colinas and the rest of Irving are next door, and Northwest Dallas and Love Field lie east along TX-183 and TX-114. ### Irving Las Colinas · Valley Ranch · Heritage District [Irving →](/neighborhoods/irving/) ### Las Colinas Las Colinas Urban Center · Lake Carolyn · Mandalay Canal [Las Colinas →](/neighborhoods/las-colinas/) ### Northwest Dallas / Love Field Bachman Lake · Webb Chapel Road · Marsh Lane Corridor [Northwest Dallas / Love Field →](/neighborhoods/northwest-dallas-love-field/) ## Looking in North Irving?
