Dallas, Texas apartments: New community open in Oak Cliff

The new apartment community was developed as a Public Facility Corporation, which aims to develop and preserve mixed-income housing in the city.

dallas — A new mixed-income apartment community is officially open in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas.

The 219-unit apartment community, called Oakhouse, in the 900 block of E. Colorado Boulevard adjacent to downtown and the Bishop Arts neighborhood is now leasing with the first move-ins expected this week.

Oakhouse is the latest residential development from Dallas-based Mintwood Real Estate. Oakhouse is Mintwood’s second multifamily development in the Oak Cliff neighborhood after 212 Melba, which opened in 2022.

“Oakhouse offers sophisticated living adjacent to Bishop Arts and Downtown Dallas, both of which boast a dynamic mix of restaurants, retail and rich Dallas history,” said Katy Slade, principal and founder of Mintwood. “Transforming long-underutilized land into new homes brings our team immense pride. As we officially unveil Oakhouse, we look forward to welcoming the first residents to their high-quality, thoughtfully designed homes.”            

Oakhouse was developed as a Public Facility Corporation, which aims to develop and preserve mixed-income housing in the city. It’s the first completed project as part of the Dallas Public Facility Corporation, which was created by the city in 2020.

A percentage of units in the community are reserved as housing for groups including healthcare workers, educators, emergency responders, law enforcement, military personnel and more.

Amenities at Oakhouse include an outdoor pool and grill area, dedicated dog park, parking garage equipped with 15 EV chargers, indoor lounge with a coffee bar, upscale fitness center with attached playroom, remote workspaces and a sky lounge on the top floor.

The apartment community features one, two and three-bedroom floorplans.

“We found creative ways to maximize the flexibility of each unit, such as adding extra space to the bedrooms, so a resident can bring in whatever fits their lifestyle, like a desk for remote work and studying or fitness equipment for home workouts. Residents can also choose from two kitchen design options, allowing personalization. Customization is key for a space that truly feels like home,” said Nick Venghaus, principal at Mintwood.

WDG Architecture was the architect and SWOON, the studio was the interior design firm on the project. Gables Residential is leasing and managing Oakhouse.
