Talk of Turtle Creek

These luxe Oak Lawn apartments define refined Dallas living

Luxury meets stealthy practicality at Gallery at Turtle Creek, the stylish residential community near Oak Lawn Park. Why stealthy? Because the concrete building manages to not only be sleek and chic, but it also helps control things such as noise and temperature — two massive perks, especially when it comes to apartment living.

But that's not all there is to love about these apartment homes. Here are a few of the most memorable reasons.

Up-to-date interiors
Though Gallery at Turtle Creek is only five years old, it's already been undergoing renovations to keep it fresh. Now you'll find quartz countertops, LED lighting, and stainless steel appliances that are energy efficient within all the 350 homes. The units will retain their loft-like feel, but with sophisticated finish-outs and high ceilings.

Oh-so-quiet lifestyle
Besides adding a touch of industrial glam, the units' concrete floors have another purpose: containing sound. The sound barriers extend to the walls too, meaning that it's practically impossible to hear your neighbors' comings and goings. Concrete also helps keep the temperature right at your preference — a huge plus during hot Texas summers. And as Gallery at Turtle Creek is surrounded by mostly condominiums, the neighborhood noise is also minimal.

Roommate-friendly
In addition to studio and one-bedroom layouts, the community includes a number of two-bedroom floorplans that are ideal for roommates. With separated bedroom suites on opposite sides of the apartment, there's plenty of privacy. Another perk that everyone can enjoy? A washer and dryer are standard in each unit.

All the amenities
Let's be real: it's the pool, fitness center, and other add-ons that really set a community apart from its peers. Gallery at Turtle Creek doesn't disappoint, with a two-story cabana at its extra-long pool and a two-story fitness center that's outfitted with all the bells and whistles. A sky deck with a large TV and free WiFi includes a plethora of seating and an attached gourmet kitchen with its own espresso bar. Health-centric resident events are big too, with weekend yoga on the sky deck, pool workouts, and residents-only circuit classes in the gym.

In the heart of Oak Lawn
With the Katy Trail on one side and the nightlife and shopping of Uptown and Victory Park on the other, you'll never be at a loss for something to do. Downtown Dallas is just minutes away, but right next door are all the delicious temptations of Eatzi's.

If you're dying to sneak a peek at this apartment community, you can do so on August 25 when Gallery at Turtle Creek is teaming up with Dallasites101 to throw a free pool party that's open to the public.

From noon to 5 pm, groove while the DJ spins tunes, knock back free cans of Austin Eastciders, purchase food-truck fare, pick up some sweet swag, and don't forget to tour the property. Bring your towel and sunscreen, and reserve your free ticket here.
