The Huxley is a pet-friendly luxury apartment community at 1802 Apollo Road in Garland, TX 75044, a practical option for renters who want to live near Firewheel Town Center without being directly in the shopping district. The community welcomes cats and dogs under its pet policy, with a maximum of two pets per apartment home, and offers on-site pet amenities including a dog park and pet relief areas. Firewheel Town Center, the open-air retail and dining destination in north Garland near President George Bush Turnpike and Lavon Drive, is the local anchor people usually mean when they search for pet-friendly luxury apartments near Firewheel Town Center.
Being near Firewheel matters most if your routine includes restaurants, retail errands, movie nights, or commuting through north Garland and the Richardson or Plano side of the metro area. Firewheel Town Center is built more like an outdoor town-center district than an enclosed mall, with large retailers, dining, services, and entertainment spread across walkable blocks once you are there. For renters with pets, that means the appeal is less about walking a dog to every errand and more about having a major shopping and dining area within a realistic drive of home.
From The Huxley, residents typically get around by car using Apollo Road, Jupiter Road, Buckingham Road, Shiloh Road, Belt Line Road, and nearby connections toward President George Bush Turnpike. Lavon Drive and State Highway 78 serve much of the Firewheel area, while the turnpike helps with regional trips toward Richardson, Plano, Rowlett, and other parts of Garland. Dallas College Richland Campus is also listed by the community as approximately 6 miles away, which can be useful for students, faculty, or staff comparing north Dallas and Garland apartment locations.
Inside the community, the pet amenities are the most relevant starting point: The Huxley offers a pet play area, a dog park, and pet relief areas, so quick daily outings do not have to depend on driving to a public park. The published pet policy includes a $400 non-refundable pet fee per pet and $25 monthly pet rent per pet, with a two-pet maximum per apartment home. Breed and weight restrictions may apply, so it is worth confirming the current policy with the office before you apply, especially if you have a larger dog or a restricted breed mix.
The floor plan mix is straightforward: The Huxley offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes ranging from 698 to 1,095 square feet. The A1 is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout at 698 square feet, the B1 is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout at 1,006 square feet, and the C1 is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout at 1,095 square feet. Current pricing, move-in dates, deposits, and specific apartment availability can change, so the leasing office is the best source for the most accurate details.
For day-to-day comfort, community amenities include a pool, fitness center, lounge, multi-use room, courtyard, grill area, package service, laundry facilities, online resident services, on-site maintenance, and an on-site property manager. Apartment features include high-speed internet access, air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, smoke-free interiors, cable readiness, vinyl flooring, dining rooms, walk-in closets, window coverings, kitchens with a refrigerator, oven, range, dishwasher, disposal, pantry, and tub/shower. Select homes may include a washer/dryer, storage space, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, microwave, ice maker, office or den space, balcony, patio, or porch, so ask which features are included in the specific apartment you are touring.
An honest trade-off: this is not the best fit if you want a mostly car-free lifestyle or expect to walk from home to Firewheel Town Center for regular errands. The surrounding Garland corridors are practical for driving, but larger roads such as Jupiter Road, Lavon Drive, and President George Bush Turnpike can be busy, and many daily trips will be easier by vehicle than on foot.
If your priority is a pet-friendly home with one-, two-, or three-bedroom options, on-site pet amenities, and a manageable drive to Firewheel Town Center, contact The Huxley leasing office or schedule a tour to compare the available apartments in person.
