Richmond is located at 19251 Preston Road in Dallas, just south of Plano, and is a practical option for renters who want access to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano at 4700 Alliance Boulevard in west Plano. The hospital area is reached by everyday North Dallas and Plano routes such as Preston Road, Frankford Road, the Dallas North Tollway, Plano Parkway, and West Park Boulevard, depending on your schedule and traffic. This location is best evaluated as a drive-to-medical-district option rather than a walk-to-work apartment community.
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Plano is a major hospital campus serving Collin County and North Dallas, so proximity can matter for nurses, physicians, administrative staff, medical contractors, students on clinical rotations, and residents who expect frequent appointments nearby. Living close to the Preston Road corridor also keeps you near pharmacies, grocery stops, restaurants, and daily services without requiring every errand to be tied to the hospital campus itself.
From Richmond, most residents will think in terms of corridors rather than mileage alone. Preston Road is the local north-south spine for everyday errands, while the Dallas North Tollway is often the faster regional route toward west Plano, Legacy-area employers, and other medical offices. President George Bush Turnpike and Sam Rayburn Tollway are also part of the broader North Dallas and Plano commute pattern, especially for residents who split time between Plano, Richardson, Frisco, or the Dallas area.
The floor plans at Richmond are straightforward for people comparing apartment size with commute needs: one-bedroom homes range from 542 to 751 square feet, and two-bedroom homes range from 933 to 1,045 square feet. The one-bedroom A1, A2, and A4 layouts may suit someone who wants a simpler setup near work or clinical obligations, while the two-bedroom B1, B2, and B3 layouts give more separation for a roommate, home office, guest space, or extra storage. Current pricing, lease terms, and available move-in dates change, so the leasing office is the best source for today’s details.
Inside the apartments, the features that tend to matter after a long shift or a busy appointment day are the practical ones: stainless steel appliances, wood-style flooring, brushed nickel hardware, private patios or balconies, spacious walk-in closets and linen closets, exterior storage, digital programmable thermostats, and a smart home door entry system. Select homes may also 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, so it is worth confirming the exact features in the home you tour.
The community amenities are also useful if your schedule is not a standard nine-to-five. Richmond offers a 24/7 fitness center, parcel lockers, door-to-door trash pickup, 24-hour emergency maintenance, covered parking when available, and two clothes care centers. For downtime, there are two resort-style pools with poolside cabanas, grilling stations, a clubhouse with a business center and Wi-Fi in common areas, plus a pickleball court and playground.
Pet owners should also know that Richmond is a pet-friendly community with a dog park, and the community’s FAQ notes a maximum of two pets per apartment home, with pet fees, monthly pet rent, and breed or weight restrictions subject to current policy. Nearby Jack Carter Dog Park in Plano is another well-known option to ask about if outdoor space for a dog is part of your apartment search.
The honest trade-off is that Richmond is not on the hospital campus and is not ideal if you want to walk to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Plano. You should expect to drive, compare routes at the times you will actually commute, and note that Richmond’s listed address is Dallas, not Plano, if living inside Plano city limits is important to you.
If Richmond’s floor plan sizes, Preston Road location, and everyday amenities fit what you need near the Plano medical corridor, contact the leasing office or schedule a tour to compare available homes in person.
