I-30, US-287, and Getting Around
I-30 and US-287 are the two main highway access points from Stop Six. I-30 runs the corridor west to downtown Fort Worth, roughly ten minutes in normal traffic, and continues east toward Arlington. US-287 provides a direct southern route connecting to Mansfield and Midlothian, and also feeds back to I-30 for cross-county travel.
Trinity Metro bus service covers the neighborhood footprint. There is no rail service in Stop Six; the nearest light rail and commuter rail connections are at Fort Worth Central Station downtown, a short drive west via I-30.
Tell us where you work and what you can spend and we will pull properties with confirmed criteria. If local inventory runs thin, we route to Woodhaven immediately north, which carries more conventional apartment stock, or Eastchase to the east, which has the deepest east Fort Worth pool at comparable price points.
What the Local Rental Stock Actually Looks Like
Stop Six is in the middle of an active, publicly funded redevelopment, which means the rental inventory here is actively changing. The new mixed-income construction being delivered in 2026 carries income limits, and income-restricted housing in this context screens criminal history and rental debt more strictly than most market-rate apartments, not less, because program rules require it. Ask specifically what the screening criteria are for any unit in the new development before you apply.
Alongside the new construction, older houses, duplexes, and small apartment buildings from earlier decades remain on the market. These follow conventional leasing timelines without certification requirements. Older buildings in this footprint commonly have window units rather than central air and coin-operated on-site laundry rather than in-unit.
Before you commit to any address here, confirm three things: whether a unit is income-restricted and what the income ceiling is, whether it has central air or window units, and what the utility structure looks like. We confirm all three with each property before we send you to tour.
Why believe any of this
We're new, so here's our method instead of a wall of reviews
This brand hasn't placed enough renters to publish counts or ratings, and inventing them would be a misrepresentation. What we can show you is exactly how the work gets done.
We call the leasing office
Criteria change without notice and listing sites don't track them. Before you spend an application fee, we confirm the income multiple, the deposit structure, and what the property does with your specific flag, by phone.
Every number carries a date
A rent, a concession, a criteria threshold, or a lease-up status is only useful if you know when it was true. Every one we send you has a verification date attached, and we pull Lease-Up Board records older than 60 days.
We publish the failure mode
Our list updates in real time and it can still be wrong. Sometimes a community hasn't updated their system, sometimes someone applied twenty minutes ago. If a unit's gone when you call, tell us and we'll re-verify and send replacements the same day.
Licensed, and named
We're licensed Texas agents under Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC (TREC #9003398), designated broker Tom Birdwell. Single county, so we can verify instead of guess.
Local answers
Stop Six questions
Do income-restricted units here have an income maximum?
Yes. Income-restricted and program-funded units in the redevelopment carry both a minimum and a maximum income limit. Qualifying above the ceiling disqualifies you regardless of how strong the rest of your file is. Ask the property which income limit applies to a specific unit before you apply.
How long are the waitlists for the newer units?
Waitlists on income-restricted units can run months. Each property and each funding tier carries its own list. We will tell you the current waitlist status for any specific address we send you, but treat any estimate as approximate and confirm directly with the property.
What is actually built and ready to rent versus still under construction?
The redevelopment is ongoing, so availability changes. Some addresses are occupied, others are leasing for future phases, and others are still under construction. We confirm which category a unit falls into before we send it to you, so you are not applying to something that is not yet livable.
Does income-restricted housing here screen more loosely for credit or rental history?
No. Income-restricted and program-funded properties often screen criminal history and rental debt more strictly than market-rate apartments because program rules require it. Do not assume affordable means flexible on background or eviction history. Woodhaven and Las Vegas Trail are where market-rate flexibility actually is.
How long does certification take for income-restricted units?
Typically several weeks. Certification requires income documentation, household size verification, and in some cases third-party review. Start the process before you need to move. We tell you which step you are on and what the property needs next.
Where else should I look if local inventory does not fit my situation?
Woodhaven immediately north and Eastchase to the east carry conventional apartment inventory at comparable price points with fewer certification requirements. We route to both and confirm criteria at each property before you apply.
Is the apartment locating service free?
Yes. Fort Worth Apartment Locators Group charges renters nothing. The community pays a referral fee when you lease, which is standard for licensed Texas apartment locators. No fee is added to your rent.
What do apartments require for income verification?
Market-rate properties in the area typically want gross income of 2.5x to 3x the rent in verifiable documentation (2026 thresholds). Income-restricted units have their own rules based on area median income percentages. We confirm which applies to each address before you apply.
Can I afford $1,000 rent making $20 an hour?
At $20 an hour you gross roughly $3,467 per month. Most Fort Worth properties require 2.5x to 3x the rent in gross income, so $1,000 rent needs $2,500 to $3,000. At that wage you typically qualify for units up to about $1,150 to $1,380 depending on the property's income multiple. We confirm the exact threshold at each address before you apply.
What should I watch for when renting in Stop Six?
Confirm whether a unit is income-restricted and what the income ceiling is, check for central air versus window units, verify whether utilities are master metered or billed individually, and ask whether the building is occupied and leasing or still under construction. We check all four before sending you options.

These neighboring Tarrant County markets often turn up options at a different price for a similar commute.
Woodhaven
**Woodhaven Boulevard** and **Bridge Street** are the two corridors this rental market is organized around. The area built out mostly in the 1960s and 1970s around what was a country club, and large garden apartment complexes from that era make up the core of the inventory. Adjacent neighborhoods like **Meadowbrook**, **Handley**, and **Polytechnic Heights** share the same stock profile, and we search all of them together. **Gateway Park** sits within reach, one of the largest urban parks in Texas with genuine trail mileage connecting to the **Trinity Trails** system. **I-30** runs through the corridor and **Loop 820** is minutes away. Downtown Fort Worth is roughly fifteen minutes by car. Trinity Metro bus routes cover the area and there is no rail connection. The highway access is genuinely solid for an affordable East Fort Worth address, and it is the main reason renters who work at employers like **BNSF**, **JPS Health Network**, or **Cook Children's** stay here rather than relocating farther out. The cost picture is more complicated than the advertised rent suggests. Master-metered utilities and flat monthly add-ons are common across a large share of the older complexes, so ask what is included before comparing two buildings by monthly rent. Renovated and unrenovated units sometimes share the same complex name and are priced differently. On-site laundry rather than in-unit connections is the norm in the older stock. **Fort Worth ISD** serves the area; confirm attendance zone by address.
Apartment locating in WoodhavenEastchase
**Eastchase Parkway** runs south from I-30 with **Eastchase Market** as the retail anchor. Arlington's Entertainment District sits about ten minutes east, with **AT&T Stadium**, **Globe Life Field**, Six Flags, and **GM Arlington** in that corridor. Downtown Fort Worth is roughly fifteen minutes west, where **BNSF**, **JPS Health Network**, and the Medical District anchor major employment. In a practical sense this address puts you at the center of the metro rather than deep into either city. The apartment stock built out mostly in the 1990s and 2000s in garden-style complexes, with some newer product mixed in along the corridor. The older buildings run locally managed operations more often than the Fort Worth average, and locally managed properties are where a structured deposit or a documentation package is most likely to get a human review rather than an automated denial through platforms like **RealPage** or **TransUnion SmartMove**. That is useful if your file has a complication. Renovated and unrenovated units sometimes share the same complex name at different price points; confirm which type you are looking at before you apply. Covered parking is frequently offered as a monthly add-on rather than included, so factor that into your total before comparing two buildings. Three-bedroom floor plans exist at some of the older complexes, which is uncommon at this price point in much of Fort Worth. As of mid-2026, Fort Worth averages $1,438 in rent (RentCafe), and this corridor generally runs below that average. **Loop 820** connects north and south. **Trinity Metro** bus service covers the Fort Worth side of the corridor. The school district question is worth settling by address. The Arlington ISD boundary runs close to the east, so whether a specific property falls in Fort Worth ISD or Arlington ISD depends on the exact address rather than the general neighborhood name. Check before you commit, not after you sign. If you are searching for an apartment near you in east Fort Worth, this corridor covers Handley, Meadowbrook, and Polytechnic Heights along with the Eastchase core. On game and concert days, event traffic from the Entertainment District backs up on I-30 in both directions; if you commute east, factor that into your daily schedule during the season.
Apartment locating in EastchaseEastern Hills / Eastwood
**Eastern Hills** and **Eastwood** are mid-century east Fort Worth neighborhoods built out in the 1950s and 1960s, sitting between Woodhaven to the north and Meadowbrook to the east. **Eastern Hills High School** anchors the neighborhood grid on the east side, and **Gateway Park** is a few minutes north along the Trinity. The neighborhood falls within **Fort Worth ISD** attendance zones. We are **Fort Worth Apartment Locators Group**, licensed Texas agents covering Tarrant County, and we match renters in this footprint to verified apartments at no cost. The blocks along the **Berry Street** corridor and surrounding residential streets are quiet, with very little of the newer institutional apartment product that dominates the city's growth corridors. What rents here is older small apartment buildings, duplexes, and single-family houses managed directly by individual owners or small local companies rather than a national management platform. Rents in this footprint generally fall below the Fort Worth average of $1,438 (RentCafe, April 2026), reflecting the older housing stock and independent management. Master metering is common in older buildings, meaning utilities may bundle water, trash, or electricity into the monthly rent. When electricity is billed separately, it runs on the **Oncor** deregulated grid, so you choose your own retail provider. The difference between a metered and an all-inclusive unit can be $100 or more per month. Ask specifically what is included before you compare two addresses by rent alone. Window units rather than central air are standard in much of this stock, and laundry is typically on-site on a coin machine rather than in-unit. **Loop 820** and **I-30** are close, making the commute west to downtown Fort Worth straightforward in roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. **Trinity Metro** bus service covers the footprint. No rail. For renters with a complicated file, independently owned buildings make decisions case by case. Some properties in this footprint accept **Housing Choice Vouchers** through Fort Worth Housing Solutions or Tarrant County Housing Assistance; we verify acceptance and any additional requirements by phone. Woodhaven immediately north has more conventional apartment inventory and more consistent flexibility. If local inventory runs thin, we route there or to Eastchase and confirm what each property requires before you apply.
