This ranks the 15 best apartment complexes in Arlington, TX overall.

See our methodology to find out how our scores are built.

Looking for something more specific to your lifestyle? See our separate, dedicated rankings for the best student housing and best townhome-style apartment communities in Arlington. This list covers general full-service communities outside of those specific student and townhome niches, ordered strictly by their composite data scores.

Picks are ranked by score and relevance to apartment complex, so a lower overall score can rank higher here.

1. Bardin Oaks Apartments

4.5 (163 reviews)score 84/100

Bardin Oaks Apartments

Bardin Oaks pairs the highest composite score on this list with consistently warm, hands-on leasing under Melanie Ward, and residents describe management as genuinely invested in both tours and day-to-day issues. Strong sentiment, high review volume, and steady praise for maintenance speed back up the top spot.

  • Leasing team (Melanie Ward, Katarina, Saherra) praised by name for patience and follow-through
  • Fast, quality maintenance response
  • Spacious units at competitive pricing
  • Active community events like Juneteenth build long-term loyalty

2. Villa Del Mar Apartments

4.5 (314 reviews)score 81/100

Villa Del Mar Apartments

Villa Del Mar has the largest review base here and a strong track record of quick maintenance and friendly, professional staff, which explains its high score. Recent reports of roach issues and move-in discrepancies during what looks like a management transition are worth weighing against the otherwise solid history.

  • Quick maintenance turnaround
  • Staff (Savannah, Karina) named repeatedly for professionalism
  • Dog park and pools on site
  • Convenient location near I-20 and shopping

Watch out: Recent reviews mention roach infestations and unclear move-in terms during a management transition.

3. Autumnwood

4.3 (545 reviews)score 78/100

Autumnwood

Autumnwood draws a high volume of reviews and holds a solid rating, with leasing staffer Maria singled out repeatedly for going above and beyond. Maintenance response under an hour is a standout, even though a handful of reviewers flag front-desk inconsistency and move-in date mix-ups.

  • Maintenance often responds in under an hour
  • Staff (Maria, Kevin, Maurice, Aracely) earn repeat praise
  • Clean, well-kept grounds and facilities
  • Safe, welcoming community feel

Watch out: A few reviewers describe rude front-desk service or move-in date confusion.

Services: luxury apartments

4. Overture Highlands

4.6 (68 reviews)score 78/100

Overture Highlands

Overture Highlands scores well on sentiment thanks to a packed calendar of resident activities and consistently spotless common areas, with staff described as warm and attentive across the board. The review count is smaller than some rivals here, so treat the picture as reliable but still building.

  • Frequent social events and fitness classes
  • Spotless, well-kept common areas
  • Resort-style pool and fitness center
  • Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and doctors

Watch out: One report of non-functional security cameras and theft stands out against otherwise strong reviews.

Services: senior apartments

5. The Paisley at Arlington Apartments

4.2 (254 reviews)score 77/100

The Paisley at Arlington Apartments

The Paisley draws a large, consistent volume of positive reviews centered on named leasing staff Jennifer and Valerie, plus the appeal of an all-bills-paid rent structure. Families in particular cite the pool, dog park, and playground alongside quick maintenance, though some applicants report slow follow-up during the leasing process.

  • All utilities included in rent
  • Jennifer and Valerie named often for personal service
  • Quick maintenance response
  • Family-friendly amenities: pool, dog park, playground

Watch out: Some applicants report slow communication and unclear payment deadline enforcement.

6. The Heights Apartments and Townhomes

3.9 (299 reviews)score 76/100

The Heights Apartments and Townhomes

The Heights posts the strongest sentiment score on this list even with a lower star average, driven by consistently glowing accounts of staff (Alex, Alyssa, Roxanne) during tours and move-ins. Maintenance completing work within 24 hours and mature, well-kept landscaping round out a property with essentially no substantive recent complaints.

  • Maintenance typically completed within 24 hours
  • Staff named repeatedly for genuine care during tours
  • Mature landscaping, pool amenities, and clean grounds
  • Transparent, smooth move-in process

Services: townhome style apartments, luxury apartments

7. Lenox Cooper Apartments

4.5 (198 reviews)score 75/100

Lenox Cooper Apartments

Lenox Cooper's newer, modern units and attentive leasing staff (Paige Durden, Stephanie) win over prospective tenants and early-lease residents. But longer-term reviews describe a sharp drop-off after office staff changes, including hidden fees and pest issues, so the experience appears to vary a lot by tenure.

  • Modern, newly built layouts
  • Leasing staff praised for professionalism
  • Responsive head maintenance technician (Marco)
  • Regular community events

Watch out: Longer-term residents report hidden fees, pest problems, aggressive towing, and inconsistent management once past the leasing stage.

8. Center Place

4.4 (196 reviews)score 74/100

Center Place

Center Place has real strengths, including a dog park and 24/7 emergency maintenance, and many residents describe Luis and Angelica turning management into a genuinely caring operation. The catch is that their recent departure has left reviews split, with some describing neglect and unresponsive staff in their absence.

  • Dog park and pet-friendly amenities
  • 24/7 emergency maintenance
  • Online resident services
  • Strong community engagement when management is present

Watch out: Reviews are split on staff availability and building upkeep following recent management changes.

Services: luxury apartments, townhome style apartments

9. The Gin Mill

4.2 (143 reviews)score 73/100

The Gin Mill

The Gin Mill earns steady praise for leasing agent Austin's warmth and for spacious apartments in a quiet setting where residents feel safe. Recent complaints about internet reliability, slow repairs on water damage, and parking shortages temper the overall picture.

  • Leasing staff (especially Austin) praised for problem-solving
  • Spacious, well-maintained units
  • Quiet, safe community feel
  • Well-kept grounds

Watch out: Recent reviews flag internet outages, slow response to water damage and mold, and tight parking.

Services: luxury apartments

10. The Luxe at Matlock | 55+ Active Adult Apartment Homes

5 (15 reviews)score 73/100

The Luxe at Matlock | 55+ Active Adult Apartment Homes

The Luxe at Matlock gets a perfect rating from every reviewer, with leasing specialists Londa Wells, Cassie, and Casey named consistently for hospitality during tours and move-ins. The review count is still small, so the sample is promising but limited compared to older, larger properties on this list.

  • Named staff consistently praised for hospitality
  • Clean, well-maintained property
  • Modern finishes and smart home features
  • Resort-style amenities aimed at 55+ residents

Watch out: Review volume is limited, so confidence is more moderate than the top-rated score alone suggests.

Services: senior apartments

11. One Rangers Way

4.7 (67 reviews)score 72/100

One Rangers Way

One Rangers Way stands out for high-end finishes, a strong location next to the stadium district, and front desk staff (Scott, Sincere, Kashes, Nick, Gladys) who residents describe warmly. Recent reviews raise concerns about General Manager Karina's handling of lease violations and complaints, which cuts against the otherwise upscale experience.

  • Luxury finishes and modern unit design
  • Extensive amenities including pool bar and resident lounge
  • Strong location near sports venues
  • Attentive front desk team

Watch out: Multiple recent reviews describe the property manager as unprofessional, and move-out billing has caused confusion.

Services: luxury apartments

12. Meadow Run Club House

4.6 (95 reviews)score 72/100

Meadow Run Club House

Meadow Run Club House appeals with fair, utilities-included pricing and clean common areas suited to studying, near UT Arlington. It carries a smaller, slightly older review sample than the properties above it, so treat the composite as directionally solid rather than exhaustively proven.

  • Utilities bundled into affordable rent
  • Clean study lounge and pool area
  • Maintenance responds within about 2 days
  • Close to UT Arlington

Watch out: Some units lack carpet and have small kitchens, and the review base is on the smaller, older side.

Services: student apartments

13. Arlington Hills Apartments & Townhomes

4.2 (350 reviews)score 71/100

Arlington Hills Apartments & Townhomes

Arlington Hills has one of the larger review counts on this list and a leasing and maintenance team (Tina, Joselin, Joycelyn, Julio, Cesar) that residents call out by name for attentiveness. A detailed complaint about nighttime parking scarcity and move-in readiness issues shows the experience can vary at turnover.

  • Named leasing and maintenance staff praised for responsiveness
  • Amenities include pool, fitness center, dog park, outdoor kitchen
  • Convenient location near major roads and shopping
  • Units spacious and clean when in good repair

Watch out: Parking is reportedly scarce at night, and some move-ins have involved unready units or pest issues.

Services: luxury apartments, townhome style apartments

14. Southpoint Villas

4.1 (279 reviews)score 70/100

Southpoint Villas

Southpoint Villas impresses during the leasing process, with Chris, Alejandra, and Stephany singled out for attentiveness and management willing to work with tenants on lease terms. The tradeoff shows up after move-in: one resident's AC problem went unresolved for two months, suggesting urgent repairs can lag.

  • Knowledgeable, professional leasing staff
  • Clean, quiet, renovated units
  • Flexible lease terms and move-in specials
  • Dog park, pool, and fitness center on site

Watch out: At least one resident reports unresolved AC issues over multiple weeks despite repeated requests.

15. Arbor Oaks

4.5 (126 reviews)score 70/100

Arbor Oaks

Arbor Oaks offers below-market pricing for students within a short walk of UT Arlington, with furnished options and in-unit washer-dryers adding convenience. The score reflects a smaller, somewhat older review sample, and one resident raised a notable privacy concern about RA access to units.

  • Below-market pricing for students
  • Short walk to UT Arlington
  • Furnished units with washer-dryer available
  • Clean, well-maintained grounds

Watch out: One reviewer flagged privacy concerns over RA access to units without notice, and the review sample is smaller and older.
