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.

Red Bird Apartments With Three Bedrooms, Some Open to a Lower Score With a Bigger Deposit
- Shared meters and flat utility fees at the older complexes, priced in before you compare rents
- Three bedroom floor plans on Camp Wisdom and Westmoreland, and what to have ready when one opens
- Complexes that have taken a lower score with a larger deposit
- Whether Westmoreland or UNT Dallas station is the closer rail stop from the exact address
Blue Line Stations, US-67, and Commute Routes
The area is laid out along two roads: Camp Wisdom Road running east to west and Westmoreland Road running north to south. US-67, the Marvin D. Love Freeway, runs straight through toward I-35E and Downtown, and I-20 crosses the south end.
Rail touches two edges. Westmoreland station, at the north end, is the last stop on the Red Line. To the southeast, the Blue Line runs past VA Medical Center, Ledbetter and Camp Wisdom stations and ends at UNT Dallas station by the campus. Much of Red Bird sits a drive from both. Which one is closer to the home you like? We check that for each address.
Parking's easy: a space usually comes free with a garden unit here. What we ask about is how utilities are billed.
Older Garden Complexes to New UNT Dallas Builds
Big garden complexes from decades back line Camp Wisdom, Westmoreland and Polk, with bigger floor plans than the same money buys closer in and plenty of three bedrooms. Newer buildings cluster near UNT Dallas and The Shops at RedBird, the old mall site now remade with stores, offices and medical clinics.
At many older complexes, water and gas come off one meter for the whole property, billed back to you as a set monthly amount. We ask for the typical monthly fee for your size of unit before we compare.
Along Camp Wisdom and Westmoreland, many managers approve credit issues, usually with a larger deposit and more paid up front. Some nearby complexes have income limits, and our lists stick to market rent buildings.

What we tell renters looking in Red Bird
Bahama Beach is open in summer only, so check the city's dates before you plan a day around it. If you'll ride the train, check whether a home is closer to Westmoreland or UNT Dallas Station, since much of Red Bird is a drive from both. US-67 is free and runs straight downtown, so time it at rush hour from the exact address.
Red Bird / Southwest Dallas questions
Which train lines reach Red Bird?
Two, at opposite edges. Westmoreland station is the last stop on the Red Line, and UNT Dallas station ends the Blue Line to the southeast after Camp Wisdom and Ledbetter. Check the drive or walk from the address you like.
Are utilities included at the older Camp Wisdom complexes?
Often they're billed as a flat fee from a shared meter, which can change the monthly total a lot. We ask each property how it bills, then you can total it with our true monthly cost calculator.
Can I find three bedrooms in Red Bird?
Yes. Many of the older complexes here have them. They lease within days when they open, so have pay stubs and ID ready before you start. A typical Red Bird one bedroom runs about $949 this week, and the cheapest open one comes to $768.
What's at the old Red Bird Mall site?
It's now The Shops at RedBird, a mix of stores, offices and medical clinics at Camp Wisdom Road and US-67 (work on the site is still going on).
Is there an apartment locator near Red Bird?
Yes. We cover the complexes along Camp Wisdom, Westmoreland and Polk and the newer buildings near UNT Dallas. If you have a past eviction, we start with managers who have been willing to look at a case like yours.
