The Dayton is located at 6000 Ohio Drive, Plano, TX 75093, while Plano Event Center is at 2000 East Spring Creek Parkway in Plano. They are both in Plano, but The Dayton is not a practical walking-distance choice for the event center, so residents should plan on driving, using a rideshare, or checking local transit options for each event. The location is stronger for west Plano access near Ohio Drive, Preston Road, and the Dallas North Tollway.
If your search started with apartments walking distance to Plano Event Center, the practical answer is that The Dayton is better for renters who want a Plano address and reasonable value without needing to be on the east side of the city. Plano Event Center is a city event venue used for conventions, community programs, banquets, markets, graduations, and business gatherings, so being near it can matter if you attend events often, work event shifts, or have family coming in for a specific date. For occasional visits, a west Plano apartment can still make sense as long as you are comfortable crossing town.
From The Dayton, most residents navigate Plano by car. Ohio Drive connects you toward West Plano Parkway, Park Boulevard, and Preston Road, while the Dallas North Tollway and President George Bush Turnpike help with longer trips around North Dallas and the surrounding suburbs. To reach the event center area, drivers generally head east toward the Spring Creek Parkway corridor, with U.S. 75 serving as a major north-south route in that part of Plano.
The reason many residents look at The Dayton anyway is the floor plan mix. The community offers one-bedroom homes and two-bedroom homes, including a two-bedroom townhome option, with published layouts ranging from 701 to 1,182 square feet. Current pricing, move-in dates, deposits, and available apartment numbers change, so it is best to confirm today’s availability with the leasing office before planning around a specific floor plan.
For someone who attends evening events or works a schedule that changes, the everyday features matter as much as the drive. The Dayton offers parcel lockers, on-site maintenance, a clothing care center, a fully equipped fitness center, a tennis court, and two swimming pools. Pet owners should also ask about the on-site dog park and current pet policy, including any breed or weight guidelines.
Inside the homes, features are designed for practical daily use: stainless appliances, built-in microwaves, multi-cycle dishwashers, ceramic tile backsplashes, hardwood-style flooring, upgraded light fixtures, spacious walk-in closets and linen closets, private patios or balconies, and wiring for high-speed internet. Wood-burning fireplaces and split-level designs are available in select homes, so those details are worth confirming when you tour.
The honest trade-off is distance from the event center itself. If you need to walk to Plano Event Center several times a week, want to avoid driving after events, or need to be close to the U.S. 75 and East Plano side of town, The Dayton may not be the most practical match. If your day-to-day life is centered more around west Plano, Preston Road, the Dallas North Tollway, or nearby North Dallas destinations, the location may be a better fit.
If you are comparing Plano options, schedule a tour or contact The Dayton’s leasing office to check current availability, review the floor plans in person, and talk through how the commute to Plano Event Center would work for your routine.
