A cheaper building can cost more once you drive. 2 ### Free-flow isn't 8 AM A 15-minute drive at noon can be 30 at rush hour. We rank by free-flow minutes and flag the bottlenecks. 3 ### Office moves are on a calendar Goldman Sachs moves to Victory Park and AT&T to Legacy in 2028. The wrong lease term puts your renewal at the wrong time. **So we rank buildings by drive time, price the toll route both ways, and match your lease term to your office move.** You just landed a great job in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Moving to a new city brings plenty of excitement, but dealing with daily traffic can quickly become exhausting. Finding new apartments near work is the best way to avoid a stressful morning routine. A commute that looks like a quick 15 minutes on a map can easily stretch into an hour during the 8 AM rush. Our team knows the feeling of wanting a short, easy drive to the office. That is why finding the right apartment location makes such a massive difference in your daily happiness. Let’s figure out exactly how to position your next home for the best possible commute. ## How do we match new apartments near work to your job? Finding the right apartment starts with your office address. A building 12 minutes away on a tollway and a building 18 minutes away on surface streets can cost very different amounts each month. We rank every building on our new apartments in Dallas [/ →](/) board by **free-flow drive time** to that address, then price the commute in tolls. This detail matters because the average Dallas commuter now spends roughly 46 minutes on the road round trip every day, according to 2026 data. Rush hour traffic adds an estimated 17 extra minutes per day to the typical Dallas trip. We show both the tollway and surface street options to give you a complete financial picture. Free-flow minutes are the honest baseline, but a few stretches of I-35E, US-75, and the tollways slow down every morning. To save you from unpleasant surprises, the standard rush hour delays are clearly marked using a few key points: - Specific bottleneck areas. - Standard tollway backups. - Real-time traffic patterns. We flag the **8 AM commute time** separately so you know exactly what to expect. If you work shifts, your exact travel hours replace the standard rush hour calculations. This targeted approach keeps your daily routine as smooth as possible. We check your actual hours instead. ## Which job anchors do renters ask about most? The Dallas side has several big job centers, each with its own commute pattern. Commuting dynamics shift dramatically depending on which corner of the metroplex you visit. We track these major employment hubs closely because they dictate local apartment demand. | Job anchor | Typical routes | What we price for you | | --- | --- | --- | | Victory Park and downtown | DART rail; no tollway from downtown buildings | Parking and required fees | | Legacy and the Plano–Frisco corridor | Sam Rayburn Tollway (SRT) or Dallas North Tollway (DNT) | Monthly TollTag cost | | Las Colinas and DFW Airport | Many toll-free routes, optional TEXpress lanes, DART Orange Line | Managed-lane cost if you use it | | The medical districts | DART when the station walk is short | Your shift-time drive, not rush hour | | Richardson and the telecom corridor | PGBT and the DART Red Line | Toll vs toll-free savings | ### Victory Park and downtown The **Goldman Sachs Dallas campus** in **Victory Park** is due in 2028 with 5,000+ employees. This $709 million, 800,000-square-foot facility is already reshaping the local housing market. Our agents frequently help professionals secure leases ahead of this massive corporate arrival. Downtown buildings put you on DART rail with no tollway, saving you money. Hunt Realty is currently proposing a 30-story “NorthEnd Tower” right next door for even more office space. Our Downtown Dallas page [/downtown-dallas/ →](/downtown-dallas/) covers the area. ### Legacy and the Plano and Frisco corridor **Legacy West** in Plano is home to **Toyota Motor North America**, and AT&T moves there in 2028. The **PGA of America headquarters** sits in Frisco, anchored by the massive Omni PGA Frisco Resort that recently opened. We see incredible demand for apartments near these specific corporate campuses. Commutes here often use the **Sam Rayburn Tollway (SRT)** or the **Dallas North Tollway (DNT)**. Several new developments are driving this growth: - The highly anticipated Universal Kids Resort opening in 2026. - Thousands of new jobs arriving in the area. - Upscale retail and dining options expanding rapidly. Our team recommends viewing new apartments in Frisco [/frisco/ →](/frisco/) to shorten that daily drive. ### Las Colinas and DFW Airport The **Wells Fargo Las Colinas campus** opened in Oct 2025 with 4,500 employees in the **Las Colinas Urban Center**. This $570 million project is the first net-positive energy campus of its size in the region. We love showing clients how close this area is to major transit hubs. **DFW Airport** is close by, making it perfect for frequent flyers. Many routes here avoid tolls, but TEXpress lanes are an option on some highways. > A quick tip: The DART Orange Line runs directly through Las Colinas to DFW Airport, offering a stress-free alternative to highway driving. Our locators can map out the exact cost of using those managed lanes. ### The medical districts **UT Southwestern Medical District** and **Baylor University Medical Center** run around the clock. Over 50,000 workers and students travel to the Southwestern Medical District every single day. We understand that medical professionals have entirely different scheduling needs. Shift timing matters more than rush hour, and DART can work well if the station walk is short. New healthcare expansions are bringing even more professionals to the area: - The Texas Behavioral Health Center. - State-of-the-art specialized facilities. - Fast proximity to the major hospitals. Our process filters apartments based on your exact shift hours. ### Richardson and the telecom corridor **CityLine** and **Texas Instruments** sit in the Richardson and North Dallas area, with the PGBT and the DART Red Line nearby. State Farm’s massive 2.1-million-square-foot CityLine campus employs more than 11,000 workers alone. We often place tech and engineering professionals right along this convenient corridor. Texas Instruments also received a $33.6 million grant in 2026 to expand its 300mm wafer fabrication facility. This rapid expansion means housing demand near the Red Line is higher than ever. Our data shows that avoiding the toll roads here provides massive monthly savings. ## How much do tolls really cost? Toll road fees can eat into your monthly budget surprisingly fast. A regular commuter can easily spend over $1,000 annually if they are not careful. We use one formula: every gantry on your route each way, times 2, times 21 workdays. **ZipCash** is double the **NTTA TollTag** rate, costing $0.44 per mile instead of $0.22 in 2026. NTTA rates run through June 30, 2027, so these numbers are locked in for a while. Our NTTA toll guide [/guides/ntta-toll-costs-dfw-commute/ →](/guides/ntta-toll-costs-dfw-commute/) has the full method. Here is a quick breakdown of common routes. You can see the difference clearly. We highly suggest ordering a TollTag before you even pack your boxes. | Route | Monthly with a TollTag | Source | | --- | --- | --- | | DNT, Frisco to downtown | $297.78 | NTTA rates through June 30, 2027 | | PGBT, Garland to the DNT | $133.98 | NTTA rates through June 30, 2027 | Single gantry examples include the DNT Eldorado at $2.19, the **President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT)** Merritt at $2.23, and the SRT Josey at $1.91. **TEXpress lanes** are dynamically priced, so they are left out unless you use them. > **Toll math belongs in your rent math** > > A northern building with a lower rent and a $297.78 monthly toll bill can cost more than a core building with no tolls. We put both on the same true monthly line. ## When should you sign ahead of an office move? Timing your lease signature is crucial when relocating for a future office opening. Most renters find the best success starting their apartment search 60 to 90 days before their ideal move-in date. We recommend planning carefully if your company is building a new campus. If your office moves in 2028, the lease term you sign now matters. - A 12-month lease signed in late 2026 renews too early. - A 15-month term provides a safer buffer. - An 18-month term can carry you straight to the transition. Our team suggests looking at longer terms to bridge the gap. Pre-leasing near the new campus is another excellent option to secure a unit early. Our 2028 office move guide [/guides/signing-ahead-of-2028-office-move/ →](/guides/signing-ahead-of-2028-office-move/) runs through the timing in detail. ## Why aren’t there employer pages for every company? Creating a dedicated page for every single business in Dallas is simply not practical. The Dallas Regional Chamber tracks over 100 recent corporate headquarters relocations to the area. We only build an employer page where 5+ new buildings sit within 20 free-flow minutes. Below that threshold, a page would be thin and not useful to you. Finding the perfect spot requires a more personalized approach. We will rank buildings for you directly for any job. ## What’s the next step? Your commute should never be the hardest part of your day. The right apartment makes getting to work a breeze. We are ready to help you map out the perfect daily route. Use the Toll Check below to price your route, then send the team your job address. The next phase of your relocation is about to get much easier. We’ll rank buildings by drive time and toll cost, and show the toll-free route next to the tollway. Prefer rail? See new apartments near transit [/new-apartments-near-transit/ →](/new-apartments-near-transit/) to explore train-friendly options. ## Toll Check Price your DNT, PGBT or SRT commute per month before you pick a building.

Victory Park, Legacy, Las Colinas, the medical districts, DFW Airport and more. Tell us your employer or address and we rank buildings around it. ### How much will tolls add to my rent? It depends on the route. A DNT commute from Frisco to downtown is $297.78 a month with a TollTag, and PGBT from Garland to the DNT is $133.98 (NTTA rates through June 30, 2027). ZipCash costs double. ### How do you calculate monthly tolls? Every gantry on your route each way, times 2, times 21 workdays. ZipCash is double. TEXpress lanes are dynamically priced, so we leave them out unless you use them. ### When do the big office moves happen? Goldman Sachs moves to its Victory Park campus in 2028 with 5,000+ employees. AT&T moves to Legacy in 2028. Wells Fargo opened its Las Colinas campus in Oct 2025 with 4,500. ### Why don't you have a page for my employer? We only build employer pages where 5+ new buildings sit within 20 free-flow minutes. Otherwise we rank buildings for you directly. ### Can I avoid tolls entirely? Often, with a surface route or rail. We show the time tradeoff next to the toll cost. ### Do you check drive time at my shift hours? Yes. Hospital and airport shifts don't follow 8 AM traffic. Tell us your hours and we check the drive then. ### Is the Toll Check tool free? Yes. Enter your one-way toll total and workdays, and it shows the monthly and yearly cost. ### Can you guarantee a price or approval? No. The community sets both, and we confirm them before you sign. ## Related guides ExplainerSigning Ahead of a 2028 Office Move: Victory Park and LegacyGoldman Sachs moves to Victory Park and AT&T to Legacy in 2028.
