We check the actual walk. 2 ### The map isn't changing soon No new Dallas-side rail opens in 2026 or 2027. If a building's pitch leans on future transit, today's map is the map for your lease. 3 ### Parking still costs money Many transit-area buildings charge for parking. If you keep a car, that charge belongs in your monthly number. **So we check the real walk to the station, use today's rail map, and add parking to true monthly.** ## Who are new apartments near transit for? Do you find yourself dreading the daily highway drive? Our team knows that commute exhaustion is a real problem for both homeowners and business owners across the Dallas area. DART Rail currently operates 119 miles of light rail covering downtown, Uptown, the medical districts, Richardson, Plano, Garland, and the airport. The DCTA A-Train runs from Denton through Lewisville straight to the DART Green Line. We highly recommend considering these transit options for a few key reasons: - **Reduced Stress:** A simple train ride offers a much better start to your morning. - **Cost Savings:** A building near a station takes tolls and expensive parking right out of your budget. - **Convenience:** Properties like The Flats at Palisades sit less than 1.5 miles from the Galatyn Park station. This page filters our board of new apartments in Dallas [/ →](/) to **new apartments near transit** with a handy rail chip. The chip names the specific transit line and tells you the exact walk time to the station. ## What changed with the Silver Line? The **DART Silver Line** officially opened for passenger service on October 25, 2025. This massive project runs 26 miles with 10 brand-new stations. It completely changes how residents travel by connecting the northern suburbs directly to DFW Airport without forcing a trip through downtown. Our data shows this route cuts the commute from Plano to DFW Airport to roughly 58 minutes. Stations include **DFW Airport Terminal B station**, **Shiloh Road station**, and the popular **CityLine/Bush station**, where it meets the Red Line. Modern luxury apartments like The Register sit right by the CityLine station. You can walk out your front door and hop on one of the new, ultra-quiet Stadler FLIRT trains. The Silver Line guide [/guides/dart-silver-line-apartments/ →](/guides/dart-silver-line-apartments/) covers exactly who this new route helps most. > **One more change to know** > > Highland Park voted on May 2, 2026 to leave DART. If you are counting on bus or GoLink service near a building, we check current service before you sign. No new Dallas-side rail opens in 2026 or 2027. That detail is very useful to know when touring properties. If a leasing pitch leans on future transit, today’s map is the only map that matters for your lease. ## Which lines serve new apartments near transit? You have several fantastic options depending on your daily destination. The Dallas transit network operates four primary color-coded lines alongside the newer regional additions. | Line | Where it runs | Useful for | | --- | --- | --- | | Red Line | Downtown, Richardson, Plano | Downtown Plano station, CityLine | | Blue Line | Downtown, Garland, Rowlett | Garland and the east side | | Green Line | Medical District, downtown, Carrollton | Trinity Mills station link to the A-Train | | Orange Line | Downtown, Las Colinas, DFW Airport | Las Colinas and the airport | | Silver Line | Northern suburbs to DFW Airport | Crosstown trips without downtown | | DCTA A-Train | Denton, Lewisville, Carrollton | Old Town Lewisville | Downtown’s **St. Paul station** and West End Station put several new buildings within a short walk of multiple lines. St. Paul acts as a massive transfer hub where the Red, Blue, Green, and Orange lines all converge. Our clients often find the best value by choosing a property right at these major intersections. You get maximum flexibility for exploring the city without changing trains. The ability to easily reach major employment centers makes this a smart financial choice. ## How close is close enough? City planners constantly talk about a **station walkshed**, which is roughly the area within a 10-minute walk. A building that looks incredibly close on a map can sit right across a massive highway with no pedestrian crossing. An apartment might appear to be a quick hop to the train, but a lack of crosswalks over major roads like US-75 can double your travel time. We always verify the exact footpaths to protect your morning schedule. The actual walking route reveals the true commute time. When evaluating **transit-oriented development**, keep these three factors in mind: - **Monthly Parking Fees:** Expect to pay between $50 and $150 a month for a garage spot in popular Dallas neighborhoods. - **Bike Storage:** Many of these new properties prioritize secure bike racks over car spaces. - **Park and Ride Alternatives:** Free daily parking at DART lots like Parker Road might save you more money than paying premium rent next to a station. You should always ask the leasing office for a full breakdown of their transportation fees. ## Rail or tollway: which costs less? On cost, public transit almost always wins. A monthly **DART pass** costs just $96 in 2026, which provides unlimited rides across the entire light rail and bus network. Our financial breakdown shows that driving is significantly more expensive. The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) raised rates on July 1, 2025, pushing the standard TollTag cost to $0.22 per mile. You will pay double that amount, a steep $0.44 per mile, if you rely on ZipCash pay-by-mail billing. | Commute Method | Estimated Monthly Cost | Key Detail | | --- | --- | --- | | DART Monthly Pass | $96.00 | Unlimited regional access | | DNT TollTag Commute | $297.78 | Based on Frisco to Downtown | | ZipCash Commute | $595.56 | Double the TollTag rate | Time and parking fees play a massive role in this decision as well. The rail vs tollway guide [/guides/rail-vs-tollway-commute-cost/ →](/guides/rail-vs-tollway-commute-cost/) puts both expenses on one line, and the Toll Check below accurately prices the drive. ## Can you go car-free? Some renters do successfully manage a **car-free commute** in Texas. This lifestyle works best near dense neighborhoods that offer both transit and daily necessities. Consider these top walkable transit hubs: - **Cityplace/Uptown Station:** Provides immediate access to the West Village shopping district and local grocery stores. - **Downtown Stations:** Connects you directly to the Dallas Farmers Market and centralized office buildings. - **CityLine/Bush Station:** Features mixed-use developments with dining and retail steps from the platform. **DART GoLink** provides incredible value by offering on-demand rides to fill transit gaps in specific zones. This service operates very much like a localized rideshare, bringing you straight from the station to your final destination. Our team will tell you honestly which buildings make a car-free life realistic for your routine. The true walkability of a neighborhood involves much more than just the distance to the train. A property might have great transit access, but a lack of nearby food options makes giving up a car extremely difficult. ## What’s the next step? Tell us your daily destination and your preferred transit line. The locator team will physically check the walking route and compare the rail cost to your driving expenses. Our service remains completely free to you because the apartment buildings cover all professional fees. You receive a detailed breakdown confirming the unit price, current move-in specials, hidden fees, and exact parking costs in writing. Many new properties currently offer incentives like four to eight weeks of free rent. We always put these details in writing so you have complete confidence before signing a lease on any **new apartments near transit**. Are you planning to drive after all?
