The Dayton at 6000 Ohio Drive in Plano, Texas, is a practical West Plano option for renters comparing economical apartment options near The Star in Frisco. The Star is the Dallas Cowboys’ headquarters and practice facility, located in Frisco at One Cowboys Way, with Ford Center serving as its indoor event venue. Living at The Dayton keeps you in the Plano side of the North Dallas corridor while still giving you a workable route toward Frisco, Legacy West, and the Dallas North Tollway area.
For many renters, The Star matters for more than Cowboys games and fan events. The district also draws people for restaurants, offices, private events, fitness, and youth or school-related activities at Ford Center. If your week includes time in Frisco but you also want access to Plano employers, shopping, and everyday services, it can make sense to compare West Plano apartments rather than looking only inside Frisco.
Getting around this part of the area is mostly car-based. From The Dayton, residents typically use nearby Plano corridors such as Ohio Drive, Preston Road, Park Boulevard, and Spring Creek Parkway, then connect toward Dallas North Tollway or Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) depending on the destination and traffic. The Star sits near Dallas North Tollway, Warren Parkway, John Hickman Parkway, and Gaylord Parkway, so drive time can vary meaningfully around evening events, weekday commuting, and weekend dining traffic.
The Dayton’s published floor plans are straightforward for someone trying to balance space and monthly cost. The community offers one- and two-bedroom layouts, with current listed floor plans ranging from 701 to 1,182 square feet. Options include A1 and A2 one-bedroom plans, B1, B2, and B3 two-bedroom apartments, and a B4 two-bedroom townhome-style layout. Current pricing, lease terms, deposits, and availability can change, so it is best to confirm details directly with the leasing office before applying.
Inside the homes, the features that matter most for everyday value are the practical ones: hardwood-style flooring, spacious walk-in and linen closets, private patios or balconies, high-speed internet wiring, upgraded light fixtures, stainless appliances, built-in microwaves, multi-cycle dishwashers, and ceramic tile backsplashes. Wood-burning fireplaces and split-level designs are available in select homes, so ask which specific floor plans and apartment numbers include them. Washer and dryer connections are also noted among the apartment features, which can be important if you are comparing the total cost of living rather than rent alone.
The community amenities also support a cost-conscious renter who wants usable features without paying for extras they may not need. The Dayton offers two swimming pools, a fully equipped fitness center, a tennis court, parcel lockers, on-site maintenance, a clothing care center, a clubhouse, a business center with complimentary Wi-Fi, grilling areas, and on-site laundry facilities. The community is pet-friendly and offers a dog park, with pet fees, monthly pet rent, and breed or weight guidelines to confirm before move-in.
The honest trade-off is that The Dayton is not a walkable apartment choice for The Star. If your priority is stepping out your door and walking to Ford Center, Cowboys Way, or restaurants at The Star, you will likely want to focus on apartments immediately around that Frisco district. The Dayton is a better fit if you are comfortable driving and want a Plano address with access to both Frisco destinations and established Plano corridors.
If you are comparing your options near The Star, schedule a tour or contact The Dayton leasing office to review current floor plan availability, select-home features, pet guidelines, and the best route from the community to your regular Frisco destinations.
