About Student Housing in Arlington

Arlington is a mid-sized Texas city between Dallas and Fort Worth, home to the University of Texas at Arlington (35,000+ students) and notable for AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field. The student housing market concentrates around UTA's campus in central Arlington, with apartment complexes along Cooper Street as the primary student corridor. Arlington has no light rail or commuter rail — it is one of the largest cities in America with no meaningful fixed-rail transit — so having a car is practically a requirement. Rents are affordable relative to Dallas and Fort Worth, and the city's location between both cities provides employment and internship access.

Best Neighborhoods for Students in Arlington

Cooper Street Corridor (Near UTA)

The main student zone — apartments directly on Cooper Street or within a few blocks of UTA's campus. Dense, affordable, and the most convenient for students at the university.

Near I-20 / South Arlington

More affordable than the UTA corridor, popular with students who prioritize price over proximity. A car commute to campus is the tradeoff.

Getting Around Arlington as a Student

Here's what you need to know about getting around Arlington.

Public Transit

The Arlington E-Link buses connect UTA to some destinations, but Arlington's transit is limited. There is no light rail. DART connection to Dallas requires the TEXRail connection via Fort Worth or specific Arlington Express routes. A car is practically mandatory for most Arlington students.

Walking and Biking

Near UTA's campus and Cooper Street, biking and walking cover most campus needs. The surrounding city is car-designed suburban sprawl. Do not expect to live car-free in Arlington for more than campus-adjacent trips.

Parking

Abundant everywhere. Campus parking requires a permit. Most apartments include a space. Parking is easy.
