Living in Allen, Texas

Allen, Texas is a suburb about 25 miles north of the heart of Dallas. Living here comes with all of the convenience that comes with the ‘burb lifestyle and then some! Think family-friendly entertainment like Topgolf, all of your favorite grocery stores close by, and roughly a 30-minute drive to the airport. Along Hwy 75, you’ll find plenty of shops and eats — we recommend hitting up the Allen Premium Outlets and The Village for all of your retail therapy and restaurant needs. For those who love spending time outdoors, Allen has plenty of parks and miles on miles of hike and bike trails to explore.

Apartments in the 75002

Being a heavily suburban area, Allen has tons of options for renters! If you’re hoping to hit the trails and soak up some nature near your new place, then we suggest West Allen. If quick access to all of the shops and eats in the area is your vibe, we recommend a spot in South Allen. This area is best traveled by car, so you’ll need some wheels to get around — while DART is working on extending public transportation rails further north on 75, that project is still in the works.
