The Huxley is an apartment community at 1802 Apollo Road in Garland, Texas, for renters comparing luxury apartments near Firewheel Town Center with resort-style amenities. Firewheel Town Center is Garland’s open-air shopping and dining district near President George Bush Turnpike and Lavon Drive, and The Huxley’s Apollo Road location keeps that retail area, local errands, and major Garland corridors within a practical drive.
Firewheel matters most to residents who want everyday shopping, restaurants, services, and entertainment close to home without making every errand a Dallas trip. The center is known locally for its outdoor streetscape format, national retailers, casual dining, and cinema options, so it tends to be useful for weeknight meals, weekend shopping, and quick stops before or after work.
Getting around this part of Garland is generally car-oriented. From The Huxley, residents use Apollo Road to connect with nearby surface streets such as Jupiter Road, Shiloh Road, and other Garland routes, with President George Bush Turnpike serving as the major regional connector for trips toward Richardson, Plano, Rowlett, and North Dallas. Dallas College Richland Campus is also about 6 miles from the community, which may be helpful for residents with classes, staff roles, or campus-related routines.
The floor plan mix at The Huxley is straightforward: one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes. Current listed layouts include the A1, a 1-bedroom, 1-bath home at 698 square feet, the B1, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1,006 square feet, and the C1, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1,095 square feet. Pricing, lease terms, and available move-in dates change, so it is best to confirm the current options directly with the leasing office before applying.

Inside the apartments, residents can expect practical daily features such as high-speed internet access, air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, cable-ready connections, smoke-free interiors, window coverings, walk-in closets, a dining room, vinyl flooring, a tub/shower, fireplace, dishwasher, disposal, pantry, oven, range, and refrigerator.

One honest trade-off: this is not the best fit for someone who wants to walk to Firewheel Town Center or rely on a car-free routine for most errands. The area is more comfortable for residents who plan to drive, use rideshare when needed, and take advantage of nearby roads and the turnpike for regular commuting.
