The Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing TRE station puts you a train ride from Dallas and Fort Worth, and older houses and newer apartments sit nearby. - **Story Road**: Story Road runs north and south through south Irving, past older garden apartments, duplexes and shopping near Shady Grove Road. It connects up to SH-183 and down toward the West Irving area. - **Rock Island**: Rock Island Road runs east and west across south Irving near the Trinity River and the West Irving TRE station. A bike and pedestrian trail runs along it, and older apartments and small houses line its blocks. - **Irving Boulevard**: Irving Boulevard (SH-356) runs east and west through south Irving toward Dallas. Older apartments, industrial land and small businesses line it, and it's a direct route toward Stemmons Freeway (I-35E). - **Lee Park**: Lee Park is a city park with a pool and recreation center on Pamela Drive. The streets around it are older houses and small rentals, a short drive from SH-183. - **Heritage Park**: Heritage Park is the small city park on Main Street in the Heritage District, Irving's old downtown.

SH-183, the Airport Freeway, carries most drives to DFW Airport and east into Dallas, where it meets I-35E. The Trinity Railway Express stops at Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing, east to Downtown Dallas and west to CentrePort/DFW Airport and Fort Worth, with regular trains Monday through Saturday. Irving is part of DART, so buses help too (getting by with one car works here). ## 1960s to 1980s buildings and the costs inside them Most of what rents was built from the 1960s to the 1980s: garden communities on Story Road, Rock Island and Irving Boulevard, with duplexes and small houses on the same blocks. Rent per square foot is below North Irving and far below Las Colinas. A handful of renovated 1980s and 1990s buildings come in at nearly the same rents. Many older buildings meter water and gas for the whole building and bill each home a set amount. We ask for that number, and whether it rises in summer, before we compare a building that includes utilities with one that doesn't. Shared laundry rooms are the norm, and many buildings are two or three stories with no elevator and few ground floor units. Tell us early if stairs are a problem. ## A week in South Irving South Irving is the city's older side, with a small historic Main Street, a commuter train stop and plenty of neighborhood parks. It has a long list of Mexican and Central American kitchens too. Most errands are a short drive. ### The TRE, SH-183 and the airport run The Trinity Railway Express stops at Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing, so a train can take you east to Dallas or west toward Fort Worth. By car, our 8am drive times put DFW Airport and the Medical District each about 19 minutes away, Downtown 25 and Legacy West 36. SH-183 and Loop 12 are the main roads out, and Irving Boulevard runs straight east toward Dallas. - **Irving Boulevard** (main road): The straight run east toward Dallas, lined with shops and older buildings, and a free route when the highways back up. ### Neighborhood parks with room to play City parks are spread all across South Irving. Fritz Park has a disc golf course, Senter Park sits a short drive from the middle of the area, and Lively Pointe has a skate park. Shady Grove Trail Park, close to Shady Grove Road, is a small trail park for a short walk. Southwest Park and Running Bear Park add more green space farther out. - **Fritz Park** (park): Play a round of disc golf on a cool morning; bring your own discs and plan about an hour. - **Shady Grove Trail Park** (park): The trail park closest to many homes here, good for a short walk after dinner. - **Lively Pointe Skate Park** (skate park): Bring a board or a bike to the city skate park on a cool evening or a weekend afternoon. ### Grilled chicken, diners and old Irving favorites Food here runs along Irving Boulevard, Story Road and Shady Grove Road in strip centers and stand alone spots. Mexican, Salvadoran and Honduran kitchens are the biggest group, and a couple of old Irving names still draw a lunch crowd. A cheap, filling meal is never far. - **Pollo Regio** (grilled chicken): Pick up a whole grilled chicken with tortillas and salsa for a cheap dinner at home, steps from the middle of the area. - **Mama's Daughters' Diner** (diner): A home cooking diner for chicken fried steak, plate lunches and pie; go early at lunch on weekdays. - **Angelo's Spaghetti & Pizza House** (Italian): An old school Irving spot for spaghetti and pizza when you want an easy dinner out. - **Villa's Grill Brazilian Steakhouse** (steakhouse): Brazilian grilled meats carved at the table, a good pick for a birthday or a big night out. ### Grocery stops on the south side Fiesta Mart, ALDI, Albertsons and La Michoacana Supermarket are each two miles or less from the heart of South Irving, which keeps the grocery trip quick. Irvingate Shopping Center and Shady Grove Plaza cover smaller shops and quick errands. - **La Michoacana Supermarket** (grocery): A Mexican supermarket for produce, meat and baked goods, about a mile from the heart of South Irving. ### Main Street history and a museum you can touch The Irving Archives and Museum fills the old Central Library on Irving Boulevard, with exhibits you can touch on the city's story and a Smithsonian Spark!Lab. Heritage Park on Main Street keeps Irving's first water tower, a windmill and the 1887 Caster Cabin. Each September, a yearly street festival fills Heritage Park and the Main Street blocks around it. - **Irving Archives and Museum** (museum): Spend a rainy afternoon on the city's history and the Spark!Lab, where you can build and test things; there's a small ticket price. ### What we tell South Irving renters Parts of South Irving sit near the Trinity River and Rock Island Road, where low ground can take on water in big storms. Look up the flood zone for the exact address. If you work at DFW Airport or in the Medical District, our 8am drive times are about the same, roughly 19 minutes each, so either job works from here. ## South Irving questions How do South Irving rents compare with the rest of Irving? They're among the lowest in the city, well under North Irving and far under Las Colinas. The renovated 1980s and 1990s buildings rent close to the older ones, so they're worth asking about. For scale, a typical one bedroom across Irving runs $1,196 this week. How are utilities billed in South Irving's older buildings? Often through a shared building meter, with a set charge written into the lease. We ask for the charge in writing and add it to the rent before we compare. Do South Irving apartments have washers and dryers? Usually not. A shared laundry room is standard in the older garden communities, and hookups inside the unit are the exception at these rents. Will a South Irving building approve me with credit problems? Often. A low score here usually means a bigger deposit, not a no. Income still decides most applications. How big a deposit do South Irving buildings ask for? That varies by building. A low score or a rough rental history usually raises it, sometimes to a month's rent or more. Are there elevators or ground floor units? Few elevators. Many garden communities here are two or three stories, and ground floor units go first, so tell us up front if you need one. Can I ride the train from South Irving? Yes. The TRE stops at Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing, east to Downtown Dallas and west to Fort Worth, and Irving's DART buses cover the area. Time the walk to the station from the building. Is there an apartment locator near South Irving? Yes. Along Story Road and Irving Boulevard we compare buildings by what changes the real cost: flat utility charges, laundry, stairs and how much deposit each one asks after a credit problem. ## Near South Irving North Irving and the rest of Irving lie across TX-183, and West Dallas and Trinity Groves are a short run east past the river. ### Irving Las Colinas · Valley Ranch · Heritage District [Irving →](/neighborhoods/irving/) ### North Irving MacArthur Boulevard · Story Road · Esters Road [North Irving →](/neighborhoods/north-irving/) ### West Dallas / Trinity Groves Trinity Groves · Fort Worth Avenue · Sylvan Avenue [West Dallas / Trinity Groves →](/neighborhoods/west-dallas-trinity-groves/) ## Looking in South Irving?
