Roommates Near Dallas, TX

Affordable shared homes just 20–30 minutes from North Dallas. Split rent with roommates in a full-size house with furnished common areas — from $500–$850/mo per housemate.

Dallas is the economic engine of North Texas and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. The city and its surrounding suburbs are home to more than two dozen Fortune 500 headquarters, a booming tech corridor along US-75, world-class healthcare systems, and a thriving creative economy. For professionals moving to Dallas or already working in the metro, the job market is strong — but the cost of solo living in desirable neighborhoods can be steep. One-bedroom apartments in popular areas like Uptown, Knox-Henderson, Deep Ellum, and North Dallas regularly exceed $1,500–$2,000/month.

Entriway offers a better path. Our professionally managed shared homes in Plano are 20–30 minutes from North Dallas, with easy access via US-75 and the Dallas North Tollway. Each housemate pays $500–$850/mo as their share of the household rent — giving you access to a full-size home with a backyard, furnished common areas, and a community of roommates, all for a fraction of what you would spend on a Dallas apartment.

Whether you are a recent graduate starting your career, a tech professional relocating to the DFW metroplex, or someone who simply wants to stop overpaying for a small apartment, shared housing through Entriway is the smartest affordable housing option in the Dallas area.

The Dallas Advantage

A Massive Job Market

Dallas is a corporate powerhouse. The metro area is home to AT&T, ExxonMobil (nearby Irving), Texas Instruments, Southwest Airlines, and dozens of other Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies. The north Dallas tech corridor — stretching from downtown through Richardson and into Plano — is one of the densest concentrations of technology employers in the country. Healthcare systems like UT Southwestern, Baylor Scott & White, and Medical City employ tens of thousands of professionals. For roommates working across this sprawling metro, Entriway homes in Plano offer a central, affordable base.

Universities & Colleges

Dallas is home to Southern Methodist University (SMU), a prestigious private university in the Park Cities area. UNT Dallas serves a growing student population in the southern part of the city. The Dallas College system — with campuses spread across the metro — is one of the largest community college systems in Texas, serving over 80,000 students each year. Many students and recent graduates from these institutions are looking for affordable off-campus housing and compatible roommates. Entriway provides exactly that: a furnished, professionally managed shared home with housemate matching built in.

North Dallas & the US-75 Corridor

The stretch of US-75 (Central Expressway) from downtown Dallas through Richardson and into Plano is one of the most important commuter corridors in the metroplex. Thousands of professionals travel this route daily. Entriway homes in Plano sit at the north end of this corridor, offering a reverse commute for residents who work in North Dallas, the Galleria area, or along the LBJ Freeway. DART rail also connects Plano to downtown Dallas, providing a public transit option for those who prefer not to drive.
