GARLAND, TX - Weidner Apartment Homes, a real estate investment and property management company, purchased the community Parkside at Firewheel Apartments in Garland, TX, from the previous ownership and management company, Waterton. Weidner is recognized industry-wide as an efficient provider of quality rental homes and a creative developer of new housing. This acquisition marks Weidner’s first property in Garland, seventh community in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro, and 32nd property in Texas.
Parkside at Firewheel Apartments is a two-phase, 594-unit property built in 2007 and 2013. The community comprises seven three and four-story buildings and sits on 8.94 acres with 772 parking spots of surface, garage, and attached townhome spaces. Parkside at Firewheel offers 27 floor plans of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartment homes and townhomes ranging in sizes between 497 to 2,710 square feet, for an average unit size of 921 square feet.
Parkside at Firewheel Apartments is located at 305 River Fern Ave Garland, TX 75040, less than 30 minutes from downtown Dallas. The community is the only multifamily housing property within Garland’s premier shopping, dining, and entertainment village, the Firewheel Town Center. The center offers the likes of Macy’s, Barnes and Noble, AMC Theaters, and a barrage of other local restaurants. The community is also minutes from a Sam’s Club, a Walmart, and a Target, to fulfill tenants’ shopping needs.
As Dallas’s growth has skyrocketed, residents have expanded their search to first-ring suburbs. Garland has benefited tremendously from this trend, as it’s one of the more accessible cities, sitting at the crosshairs of the George Bush Turnpike and SR-78. This places residents minutes to Cityline in Plano, one of the metro’s top job nodes, and a direct commute into downtown Dallas and the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Additionally, residents live near a plethora of employment opportunities offered in the Dallas Central Business District, the Baylor Scott & White Family Medical Center, and the Southwest Garland Industrial Submarket. Families will also appreciate living within the highly-rated Garland ISD and near several elementary, middle, and high schools.
Each home incorporates high-end features, and every floor plan includes ceiling fans, washer and dryer connections, a private balcony or yard, a full stainless steel appliance package, and vaulted ceilings. Upgraded homes feature granite countertops and hardwood floors. This pet-friendly community also provides several amenities, including an outdoor grilling and picnic area, a cardio and strength fitness center, a yoga studio, a sparkling pool with a sundeck, and a courtyard with fountains.
Weidner Apartment Homes will be the property manager and owner of Parkside at Firewheel Apartments. The team is thrilled to enter the Garland rental market and expand its presence in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro.
