The Drakestone Apartments

4.5(276)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Residents consistently praise The Drakestone for its thoughtful management, quick maintenance (technician Lorenzo noted for going above expectations), and vibrant downtown location within walking distance of Deep Ellum and AAC. The 100-year-old historic building attracts people who value its distinctive architecture and resident culture, though prospective tenants should expect the occasional quirks that come with an older property. The leasing team (staff named include Chad, Tiffany, and Lorenzo) takes time during tours and handles service calls with care. Their website lists lease incentives of 4 weeks free or free parking for the entire lease, and the building includes a freight elevator, fitness center, and rooftop.
