Default Questions for NRH/Hurst guys.

So I'm gonna be going to school at TCC in Hurst next fall. But I need to find a place to stay. My plan is to drive down and try to find an apartment sometime around 4th of july and move in within a couple of weeks after that.
I don't know much about the area, but it seems like north richland hills is a nice community. So for the people that live in this area. What are the pro's and cons? It looks like it's centrally located to ft. worth, dallas, and arlington. So that seems good. I'm sure traffic sucks. And maybe someone could reccomend some nice apartments in the area? Thanks guys

Check out the ones off Grapevine Hwy right there.
They are fairly nice.

Is 820 a loop, or a certain stretch of highway or something?

It's a loop but North 820 in NRH/Hurst/Haltom area is horrid.

Thanks for the heads up guys. What are the nice apartments or areas besides the one mentioned above? I can't wait to get down there and take a look.

I just moved out of The Bluffs at Ironhorse.(bought a house) They are really nice apartments at a decent price. Parts of them over look the golf course.

Basically, avoid these areas in black in the morning, afternoon, evening and weekends.



You set on going to the Hurst campus? The NW TCC campus near lake worth on the west side of fort worth is in a much nicer area and FAR FAR less traffic and has more then plenty of apartments to choose from.

Hey I looked up these apartments and they look great. Only thing that scares me is i googled it. And it's real close to 820. And everyone is saying to avoid that. How was the area? What did you think of it? Thanks man.
