For renters comparing high-end apartment amenities near Dallas Airport, The Franklin at Samuels Ave offers resort-style and workday-friendly features at 520 Samuels Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76102. The closest major airport to the community is Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), and residents who travel often can pair regional airport access with amenities designed for everyday comfort: a membership-quality fitness and wellness center, a resort-style pool, private pool cabanas, Wi-Fi lounge areas, EV charging, and controlled-access garages and buildings.
When people say “Dallas Airport,” they may mean DFW International Airport or, less often from Fort Worth, Dallas Love Field. DFW sits between Dallas and Fort Worth and is the major hub most Fort Worth travelers use for national and international flights. Living in Fort Worth rather than beside the terminal can make sense if you want airport access without giving up proximity to downtown Fort Worth, the Trinity River area, TCU, and the city’s central employment and entertainment corridors.
From Samuels Avenue, residents typically use nearby Fort Worth routes such as I-35W, I-30, and the SH 121 and TX 183 corridor when heading toward DFW Airport or the Mid-Cities. Local errands and nights out often run through downtown Fort Worth, West 7th, the Cultural District, and the university area near Texas Christian University, which the community notes is approximately 3 miles away. Traffic can change quickly in North Texas, especially during airport rush periods, so it is smart to check live drive times before comparing communities solely by mileage.
The amenity mix at The Franklin is strongest for renters who want useful on-site spaces, not just attractive common areas. The fitness and wellness center can replace some off-site gym trips, the indoor and outdoor entertainment lounge areas include Wi-Fi, and the landscaped courtyard, outdoor grills, and kitchen stations give residents places to host without needing a large private yard. SemaConnect EV charging stations are also available, which is a meaningful detail for residents who commute around the DFW area by electric vehicle.
Inside the apartment homes, the features lean polished and practical: waterfall Carrara quartz countertops, designer tile backsplashes, chef-inspired kitchens, modern cabinetry, wood-style flooring, walk-in closets, private patios or balconies, carpeted bedrooms, dual-entrance bathrooms, and designer bathrooms with dual vanities. Stainless steel appliances, USB outlets, attached garages in townhome layouts, and river views are available in select homes, so those are worth confirming with the leasing office before you apply. Full-size washer and dryer availability should also be verified for the exact home you are considering.
The floor plan range gives renters several ways to prioritize space. Current published layouts include one-bedroom homes from about 701 to 872 square feet, two-bedroom apartments and townhomes from about 1,084 to 1,500 square feet, and a three-bedroom C1 plan at about 1,440 square feet. Select townhome options, including one- and two-bedroom layouts, may be especially helpful if you want a more separated entry feel or an attached garage option, while current pricing and availability are best confirmed directly with the leasing office.
One honest trade-off: The Franklin at Samuels Ave is not an airport-adjacent community. If your top priority is being only a few minutes from a DFW terminal for daily flight crew reporting, frequent same-day travel, or airport operations work, a community closer to the airport boundary may be a better fit. This location is better suited to someone who wants Fort Worth access first, with a practical route to DFW when travel comes up.
If you are comparing amenities, layouts, and real travel routines side by side, schedule a tour or contact the office to confirm the exact home features, garage availability, pet details, and current availability at The Franklin at Samuels Ave.
