What is a yard in an apartment setting?
Usually apartments with yards can vary in both the type of yard being offered, whether or not it is directly attached to the unit, and the community amenities that surround it. Private yards are almost exclusively available to ground floor residents and is something to keep in mind for those looking for something higher up. However, courtyards are usually open to all residents on a property, meant to be shared and often offer incredible community amenities to boot!
Apartments with courtyards and private yards are an awesome luxury. Fenced in or not, yards can make for an amazing space for you to relax, play fetch with your furry friends (many of these buildings are pet-friendly) or host outdoor gatherings. Here are our top picks for apartments with private yards & courtyards in Dallas!
