For low income housing options by Water Works Park, start with Denton Housing Authority and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, then compare any income-restricted listings with nearby market-rate apartment communities. The Pearl on University at 2425 Old North Rd, Denton, TX 76209 is a market-rate apartment community in this part of Denton, and our leasing office can confirm current pricing, availability, lease terms, and application details before you spend time applying.
Water Works Park is Denton’s municipal outdoor water park, operated through the city’s Parks and Recreation department near the Denton Natatorium on Long Road. It is a practical landmark for renters who want access to summer recreation, swim lessons or aquatic programming, and nearby parks without needing to cross town for every outing. Families, students, city employees, service workers, and anyone who uses the north Denton road network may find this area worth comparing.
When you are sorting housing choices around Water Works Park, it helps to separate three categories: income-restricted communities, voucher-based rentals, and standard market-rate apartments with lower monthly costs than larger or newer properties. Income-restricted programs usually require documentation and have their own waitlists or eligibility rules. Market-rate communities, including The Pearl on University, set pricing by floor plan and availability, so the best next step is to ask the office for the current rate sheet rather than relying on older third-party listings.
The Pearl’s location is useful if your daily map includes East University Drive, US 380, Loop 288, Bell Avenue, Texas Woman’s University, the Downtown Denton Square, or shopping and services along the Loop 288 corridor. Most residents in this area use a car for errands, work, and school, although Denton also has public transportation options through DCTA that are worth checking against your exact schedule and route. If being able to walk to every errand is your main requirement, this location may not be the best fit, because north and east Denton trips often depend on short drives and major corridors.
Our floor plans are straightforward: studios at 550 square feet, one-bedroom homes at 825 square feet, and two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath homes at 1,000 square feet. That range gives you a few ways to compare monthly housing cost against the amount of space you actually need, whether you are prioritizing a smaller footprint or a second bedroom. Current pricing and move-in availability change, so please confirm both with the leasing office.
Inside the apartments, the features that matter most for day-to-day value are practical ones: large kitchens with updated appliances, an in-unit dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, microwave, and disposal. The community also lists all new HVAC units, which is an important detail in Denton’s long warm season. Pest control is included in the listed utilities and amenities information for the floor plans.
The community amenities are simple but useful: a dog park, an open courtyard with a pergola, and an onsite laundry facility. Those features are especially helpful if you want outdoor space for a pet, a shaded place to sit without leaving the property, or a laundry option close to home. If a specific amenity affects your decision, ask us to show it during your tour so you can judge it in person.
The honest trade-off is that The Pearl on University is not a subsidized housing office, and we do not want anyone to confuse a market-rate apartment search with an income-restricted application process. If your housing plan depends on a specific program, voucher, or waitlist, contact that agency directly and then ask each apartment community what documentation and leasing standards apply.
If you would like to compare The Pearl with other Denton options near Water Works Park, call 844-455-0484 or schedule a tour with our office. We can walk you through available studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes, show the amenities, and give you the current details without pressure.
