Located just north of Dallas, the commercially-driven city of Addison provides a unique lifestyle for those who call it home. It’s location along the Dallas North Tollway gives residents an easy commute to both downtown Dallas and Frisco, while still remaining an affordable and exciting place to live. From retail to residences to restaurants, Addison is definitely one of our favorite places to be in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
LIVE:
Allegro Addison Circle – This apartment complex is hard to miss from the Dallas North Tollway as it sits prominently along the southbound lanes. The Allegro Addison Circle offers a variety of floorplans to rent in the heart of Addison’s stylish nightlife.
