Hyde Park at Valley Ranch (Irving, TX): Pricing, Units, and Resident Ratings

Units and Pricing

One- and two-bedroom units run 600 to 1,018 square feet, a range every listing source agrees on. The dollar figure is a different story: four sources, checked on four different dates, show four different ranges.

Treat any single number above as a snapshot, already stale by the time a new applicant calls; the live number for a specific unit and move-in date lives with the leasing office, not with any cached listing.

What is the current price range at Hyde Park at Valley Ranch?Recent snapshots cluster between about $855 and $2,005 for most available one- and two-bedroom units. The $3,275 high end on ApartmentRatings is the oldest of the four snapshots and likely reflects a different unit tier than what’s currently listed. Confirm the live number for your floor plan and move-in date before applying.

Amenities and What’s Included

The community centers on three swimming pools, a fitness center, a clubhouse with a business center and game room, and two shared laundry rooms. In-unit features include 9-foot ceilings, full-size washer and dryer connections, and granite countertops with stainless appliances; select units add fireplaces, private yards, and private balconies or patios. Valet trash is on site, an amenity fewer than 11% of Irving buildings offer.

S2 Residential, the management company, lists 522 total units at the property. Split evenly, that’s roughly 174 units per pool, a ratio none of the four listing pages compared here actually states.

Location and Commute

The property sits in Irving’s Valley Ranch neighborhood, about 3 miles from Baylor Surgical Hospital at Las Colinas, a 7-minute drive, and within a 12-minute walk of three shopping centers. Transit access is limited: a TransitScore of 30 and ten transit stops within 11.6 miles, the nearest being Downtown Carrollton Station roughly 4 miles away.

Schools

Zillow, Rent.com, and ApartmentGuide independently agree the address is zoned to Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, assigned to Riverchase Elementary, Bush Middle School, and Ranchview High School. GreatSchools and Niche score these differently enough to matter: GreatSchools rates Bush Middle School 2 out of 10, while Niche grades the same school B-minus, a gap that reflects methodology more than a change in the school itself.

One naming discrepancy remains open: the property’s neighborhood page names Valley Ranch Elementary School rather than Riverchase Elementary as the nearby option. Confirm the assigned elementary school with the district’s attendance-zone locator before treating either page as final.

Which elementary school serves this address, Riverchase or Valley Ranch Elementary?Three independent aggregators say Riverchase Elementary. The property’s own neighborhood page says Valley Ranch Elementary. The district’s attendance-zone locator settles it for a specific unit or lease.

Pet Policy

Up to two cats or dogs are allowed per unit for a $400 one-time fee plus $30 a month per pet. Nine specific breeds are excluded.

The fee stays flat at $400 plus $30 a month whether the listing labels the pet “tiny” or “huge,” so the size tiers on the page don’t actually change the cost.

Are pit bulls or other large-breed dogs allowed?No. The published breed list excludes pit bulls, American pit bull terriers, bull terriers, mastiffs, bull mastiffs, Akitas, American Staffordshire terriers, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, and any breed local officials classify as aggressive.

What Residents Say

Across 93 votes on ApartmentRatings.com, the community holds a 2.7 out of 5 overall score.

Safety

The 1.5-out-of-5 safety score above is a sentiment average from a self-selected group of 93 renters. It doesn’t break down into specific incidents, lighting conditions, or gated-access details, and none of the eight sources reviewed mention a security patrol or controlled entry. For incident-level data on the specific corridor, the City of Irving runs a public LexisNexis-based crime-mapping tool through its police department.

Is Hyde Park at Valley Ranch safe?Renters rate it 1.5 out of 5 for safety, the same average as maintenance and staff, from 93 votes. That’s a sentiment score, not a crime statistic. For incident-level detail, the City of Irving’s crime-mapping tool covers the MacArthur Boulevard corridor.

Nearby Alternatives

Four directly competing Valley Ranch communities sit within six-tenths of a mile, per Rentable.co.

Every one of these four quotes a higher starting rent than Hyde Park’s lowest published number, consistent with ApartmentHomeLiving’s independent finding that Hyde Park prices roughly 37% below the Valley Ranch neighborhood average.

Moving In

Homes.com’s current listing shows a $250 deposit line item across the available floor plans. None of the eight sources reviewed for this page publish an application fee, administrative fee, or a current move-in special, so treat the leasing office’s current quote as the only reliable number for those two figures.
