The Durham

For renters comparing Budget Friendly Apartments By Town East Mall, The Durham offers one- and two-bedroom apartment homes at 3718 Gus Thomasson Rd, Mesquite, TX 75150. Town East Mall is an established Mesquite shopping destination near Town East Boulevard and I-635, so living nearby keeps retail, dining, and major east Dallas routes within an easy local drive.

Being close to Town East Mall matters most if your weekly routine includes errands, mall shopping, restaurant runs, or commuting across Mesquite and East Dallas. The area is built around practical car access: Gus Thomasson Road connects residents to neighborhood services, Town East Boulevard leads toward the mall district, and I-635 and US 80 help with longer drives around Dallas County.

The Durham is also useful for students and staff who want to stay near Dallas College Eastfield Campus, which is approximately 3 miles away, and for pet owners who use nearby outdoor options such as Town East Dog Park. This part of Mesquite is everyday-use territory: grocery trips, campus drives, retail shifts, appointments, and quick connections to the larger Dallas freeway network.

Our floor plans are straightforward, with one-bedroom layouts ranging from 540 to 700 square feet and two-bedroom layouts from 880 to 965 square feet. The one-bedroom options include the A1, A2, and A3, while the two-bedroom options include the B1 and B2. Because pricing, lease terms, and availability change, the best next step is to confirm current options directly with the leasing office before you make plans around a specific home.

Inside the apartment homes, residents can expect spacious floor plans, ceiling fans, washer and dryer connections, spacious closets, exterior storage, and mini and vertical blinds. Select homes may also include wood-burning fireplaces, linen closets, pre-wired intrusion alarms, and private patios or yards, so those are features worth asking about if they matter to your search.

The community amenities are designed to cover the basics that can help a monthly budget feel more predictable. The Durham offers a fitness center, business center, Wi-Fi in common areas, resort-inspired swimming pool, grilling station, clothes care center, covered parking, pet-friendly living, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. Reserved carports may be available for an added monthly charge, based on availability.

The honest trade-off is that this is a car-oriented Mesquite location near active retail and road corridors. If you want a quiet downtown-style setting where most errands can be handled on foot or by rail, this area may not match that lifestyle as well as neighborhoods with denser transit access.

If The Durham seems like the right fit for your Town East Mall area search, schedule a tour or contact the office to compare available floor plans, confirm current pricing, and ask which select apartment features are available now.
