Yes, The Dayton offers apartments with easy access to Arbor Hills hiking trails from 6000 Ohio Drive in Plano, TX 75093. Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a 200-acre City of Plano park at 6701 W. Parker Road, known for its paved recreational trail, unpaved pedestrian trails, and off-road cycling trail. For renters who want a real outdoor routine close to home, it is one of west Plano’s most useful everyday parks.
Arbor Hills matters because it is not just a small greenbelt. The preserve gives residents a place to walk after work, train for longer weekend hikes, take a dog for a more interesting outing, or ride a mountain bike trail without leaving Plano. Its mix of open prairie, wooded areas, and creek-side scenery makes it a practical choice for people who want nature access without needing to plan a full day trip.
From The Dayton, residents use familiar west Plano routes such as Ohio Drive, Park Boulevard, Preston Road, Parker Road, and nearby Dallas North Tollway connections to move around the area. That matters in daily life, because a trail habit is easiest to keep when the route there is simple and familiar. The same corridors also connect to grocery shopping, restaurants, employment centers, and other Plano destinations, so a park stop can fit into a normal errand loop instead of becoming a separate production.
At home, The Dayton’s floor plans include one- and two-bedroom apartment homes, with layouts currently shown from 701 to 1,182 square feet. The one-bedroom A1 and A2 plans are listed at 701 and 730 square feet, while the two-bedroom options range from the 893-square-foot B1 to the 1,182-square-foot B4 townhome-style plan. Current pricing, lease terms, and availability change, so it is best to confirm the latest options directly with the leasing office before planning your move around a specific layout.
The features that tend to matter most for trail-focused renters are the practical ones: private patios or balconies for fresh air at home, spacious walk-in closets and linen closets for storing shoes, packs, towels, and seasonal gear, and a pet-friendly policy for residents who hike or walk with a dog. The Dayton also lists hardwood-style flooring, stainless appliances, built-in microwaves, multi-cycle dishwashers, ceramic tile backsplashes, upgraded light fixtures, and high-speed internet wiring. Wood-burning fireplaces and split-level designs are available in select homes, so ask the office which available apartments include them.
The community amenities also support an active routine beyond the preserve. The Dayton offers a fully equipped fitness center, tennis court, two swimming pools, parcel lockers, on-site maintenance, and a clothing care center. The fitness center is useful on bad-weather days or when you want strength training between trail walks, while the pools give residents another way to unwind after time outside in Texas heat.
One honest trade-off: The Dayton is not a trailhead community where you step directly from your apartment onto Arbor Hills paths. You should expect to drive or arrange transportation to the preserve, and west Plano traffic can affect timing during busier parts of the day. If your top priority is living immediately adjacent to a park entrance, you may want to compare locations right along W. Parker Road as well.
If you want to see how The Dayton’s floor plans, pet policy, parking options, and west Plano location fit your Arbor Hills routine, schedule a tour or contact the leasing office for current availability.
