Once known as the Telecom Corridor, Richardson has reinvented itself around the CityLine mixed-use development and continues to attract technology companies, healthcare organizations, and defense contractors.

UT Dallas is one of the fastest-growing research universities in the country, with approximately 31,000 students enrolled across its campus in north Richardson. The university is especially renowned for its STEM programs — including engineering, computer science, neuroscience, and business analytics — and attracts a remarkably large international and graduate student population. In fact, UTD consistently ranks among the top universities nationally for international student enrollment.
On-campus housing at UT Dallas is limited, which means most upperclassmen, graduate students, and research assistants are looking for off-campus housing options. Finding roommates near UTD can be stressful, especially for international students arriving without local connections. Entriway solves this by matching you with compatible housemates in professionally managed shared homes. Our Plano properties are a quick 10–15 minute drive from the UTD campus, making them ideal for grad students, postdocs, and early-career professionals who want affordable housing without sacrificing quality.
