The Alton Dallas Apartment Tour: Floor Plans & Amenities in Oak Lawn

Searching for a new apartment in Dallas can feel overwhelming, especially if you're not sure which neighborhood or building will fit your lifestyle. If Oak Lawn is on your radar, The Alton is a mid-rise worth a closer look. In this detailed tour, I’ll break down everything you need to know about The Alton—from parking and amenities to floor plans and what makes this property unique in the Dallas apartment scene.

Welcome to The Alton in Oak Lawn

The Alton is a six-story mid-rise apartment community built in 2022, right in the heart of Oak Lawn, just north of downtown Dallas and adjacent to Turtle Creek. With 293 units, the building offers a range of floor plans including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and penthouse layouts. If you’re new to Dallas or just exploring your options, Oak Lawn is a vibrant, central neighborhood with easy access to some of the city’s best dining, nightlife, and green spaces.

Building Layout & Parking

The Alton’s layout is thoughtfully designed for convenience and security. The lobby welcomes you on the ground level, with resident parking located on two underground levels, accessible via an automatic gate that works with your toll tag or a gate tag provided by the building. Guest parking is available on the ground level. While The Alton doesn’t offer valet or concierge services—more common in Dallas high-rises—this is typical for mid-rise properties in the area.

Key Amenities

• Sky Lounge: Located on the seventh floor, the Sky Lounge features a striking chandelier, a large conference room, and three private pods perfect for remote work or study. Even during peak hours, the space feels peaceful and uncrowded.
• Two Pools: A unique feature for Dallas mid-rises, The Alton offers two separate pool areas. One is smaller and more shaded, ideal for relaxing, while the larger main pool is surrounded by an extended pergola, gas grills, and plenty of seating. There’s also a pool lounge stocked with an ice machine, warming drawers, a TV, and a long island for entertaining.
• Fitness Center: The gym is spread over two levels. The upper floor is dedicated to cardio equipment, including Echelon mirrors, bikes, and a rower. Downstairs, you’ll find strength machines and free weights. While it may not rival the size of some luxury high-rise gyms, it’s well-equipped for most residents. Serious gym-goers might still prefer an external membership.
• Pet Amenities: The Alton includes a dog wash on the second floor and a small dog park outside on the ground level.

Inside the Floor Plans

A14: One-Bedroom Layout

The A14 floor plan features hardwood flooring throughout all common areas, bedrooms, and even closets (no sneaky carpet here!). The kitchen comes with GE appliances, including a gas stove—an uncommon perk in Dallas mid-rises. The closet is on the smaller side, so if you have a large wardrobe, keep this in mind. Otherwise, it’s a great layout for anyone who loves to cook or meal prep.

B4: Two-Bedroom Layout

The B4 two-bedroom opens up the living space with a wider kitchen and more windows in the living area. There’s also a separate laundry room, which means more usable closet space. Higher floors offer views of downtown Dallas from the balcony. If you’re considering sharing with a roommate, this layout could be a cost-effective option. Pricing and affordability are always changing, so be sure to verify current rates and incentives before making a decision.

Penthouse: Two-Bedroom Option

The Alton’s two-bedroom penthouse stands out for its relative affordability compared to other Dallas penthouses, and at the time of filming, there was a notable move-in credit available. As with all pricing and incentives, these are time-sensitive—always confirm with the leasing office or your apartment locator for the latest details.

Additional Features

• Key Fob Access: All doors are key fob activated for added security.
• Freight Elevator: In addition to two passenger elevators, there’s a dedicated freight elevator for moving convenience.
• Community Events & Incentives: Many Dallas apartment buildings offer move-in incentives and bonuses, especially when you work with a locator who has established relationships with leasing offices. Always ask about current specials.
