Location and Hospital Access
Richmond sits on Preston Road in Dallas, just south of Plano. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano is located at 4700 Alliance Boulevard in west Plano. For renters comparing apartments near the hospital, the key distinction is that Richmond is not on the hospital campus. It is a Dallas apartment community with road access to the Plano medical area.
That distinction matters because the location is more suitable for residents who expect to drive to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano than for residents looking for a walkable hospital-campus address. The hospital area may be relevant for nurses, physicians, administrative staff, medical contractors, students on clinical rotations, and residents who expect frequent appointments nearby, but the day-to-day trip should be evaluated as a driving route.
The Preston Road setting also places Richmond along a North Dallas corridor used for daily services, including pharmacies, grocery stops, restaurants, and other errands. Those surrounding services are not tied only to the hospital campus, which can matter if you want your apartment location to serve both work-related travel and ordinary local errands.
Commute Routes to West Plano
From Richmond, access to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano is best considered by route rather than distance alone. Local and regional roads commonly associated with the trip include Preston Road, Frankford Road, the Dallas North Tollway, Plano Parkway, and West Park Boulevard. Which route makes the most sense can vary based on your schedule and traffic.
Preston Road functions as a local north-south corridor for everyday movement through the area. The Dallas North Tollway is often part of regional travel toward west Plano, the Legacy-area employment corridor, and other medical offices. For broader North Dallas and Plano travel patterns, President George Bush Turnpike and Sam Rayburn Tollway may also be part of the route network for residents who split time between Plano, Richardson, Frisco, or Dallas.
If your schedule includes hospital shifts, clinical rotations, contractor visits, or recurring appointments, it is useful to compare the routes at the times you would actually use them. A weekday morning route can feel different from an evening route, and a hospital-related schedule may not match a standard office commute.
Floor Plan Options
Richmond offers multiple floor plan options.
The one-bedroom layouts may fit a renter who wants a simpler apartment setup with separate space for sleeping, living, cooking, and storage. The two-bedroom layouts provide an additional room that can support a roommate arrangement, guest space, a home office, or additional storage. When comparing layouts, the most practical questions are how your furniture will fit, how much separation you want between rooms, and whether you need an additional enclosed room beyond the primary bedroom.
Floor plan names alone do not tell the full story of how a home will function. Door placement, closet placement, patio or balcony access, and the relationship between the kitchen and living area can all affect how the apartment feels in everyday use. Touring the specific layout you are considering is the clearest way to compare those differences.
Apartment Interior Features
Richmond apartment interiors include several features that affect daily use and storage. Kitchens include stainless steel appliances, and homes include wood-style flooring, brushed nickel hardware, digital programmable thermostats, and a smart home door entry system. Private patios or balconies add an outdoor area attached to the apartment home.
Storage is supported through spacious walk-in closets, linen closets, and exterior storage. Walk-in closets are separate from linen closets, so clothing and household items can be organized in different areas rather than competing for the same space. Exterior storage gives residents another place for items that do not need to stay in the main living area.
Select homes may include additional interior features. These may include vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, built-in dry bars with open shelving, full-size washers and dryers, extended sunrooms, bay windows, USB outlets, and quartz countertops. Because these are select-home features, they should be treated as layout-specific or home-specific rather than assumed in every apartment.
Community Amenities
Richmond includes community amenities that support fitness, package handling, maintenance needs, laundry access, and shared outdoor space. The community has a 24/7 fitness center, parcel lockers, door-to-door trash pickup, 24-hour emergency maintenance, and two clothes care centers.
Outdoor and recreation amenities include two resort-style pools with poolside cabanas, grilling stations, a pickleball court, and a playground. The community also includes a clubhouse with a business center. Wi-Fi is available in common areas.
Covered parking is available when available. Because that qualification is part of the parking detail, covered parking should not be assumed for every resident or every parking need.
Pet-Friendly Details
Richmond is a pet-friendly apartment community and includes a dog park. The community allows a maximum of two pets per apartment home. Breed and weight restrictions are subject to the current pet policy.
For residents comparing outdoor options for dogs, Jack Carter Dog Park in Plano is another nearby dog park to consider as part of the broader area. Richmond’s on-site dog park remains the pet amenity within the apartment community itself.
Important Location Tradeoffs
The main location tradeoff is straightforward: Richmond is near the Plano medical corridor by car, but it is not located on the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano campus. If walking to the hospital is a requirement, this location does not match that need. If a Dallas address along Preston Road with driving routes into west Plano fits your routine, Richmond is positioned for that type of search.
It is also important to note that Richmond’s address is Dallas, not Plano. That distinction may matter if you specifically want to live within Plano city limits. For hospital access, the practical question is how the Preston Road and tollway-area routes line up with your actual schedule.
Conclusion
Richmond offers a Dallas address on Preston Road with drive-to access to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano, interior storage features, select-home upgrades, a 24/7 fitness center, pools, a clubhouse, a pickleball court, a playground, and pet-friendly amenities. To compare the layouts and features in person, schedule a tour with the leasing office.
