Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, usually called DFW Airport, is the closest major airport to Felix at 2004 Sherry St in Arlington. Because Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth and DFW is north of central Arlington, residents typically reach the airport by car, but the exact mileage and drive time should be checked on a live map from the specific apartment building and terminal you will use.
If you are asking how far is DFW Airport from Felix Apartments, the useful answer is that DFW is close enough to be a realistic airport for work trips, pickups, and personal travel, but not so close that you can assume a fixed travel time. Your terminal, time of day, and the highway conditions around Arlington and the airport matter more than a simple map distance.
What the trip to DFW usually depends on
Felix is in Arlington, south of Interstate 30 and not far from State Highway 360, which is one of the main north-south routes people use to reach DFW Airport from this part of the city. DFW itself is a very large airport with multiple terminals, so two travelers leaving from the same apartment can have meaningfully different end-to-end travel times depending on where they need to go once they arrive on airport property.
That size is important when you are planning your day. Reaching the airport entrance is not the same as reaching your airline check-in area, the correct parking area, or an arrivals pickup point. If you travel often, look up your usual airline’s terminal before deciding whether the airport feels close enough for early departures or late-night returns.
Traffic conditions are another major variable. Arlington drivers heading north toward DFW may encounter different conditions on weekday mornings, weekday evenings, weekends with major events, and holiday travel periods. Arlington is also home to major entertainment venues, and event traffic can affect local roads and highway ramps even when your destination is the airport rather than the Entertainment District.
The best way to verify the real-world trip is to map it at the exact times you expect to travel, such as a 6:00 a.m. airport departure, a Friday evening pickup, or a Sunday afternoon return. Use your preferred navigation app, enter Felix as the starting point and your specific DFW terminal as the destination, then compare several days rather than relying on one result.
How to judge whether the airport access works for your routine
If you fly a few times a year, DFW’s position relative to Arlington is usually more about convenience than commute stress. In that case, what matters most is whether you want a home with straightforward access to a major airport for occasional trips, family pickups, or visiting guests. Felix answers that question better than a property far deeper into Dallas or Fort Worth because Arlington already sits in the middle of the metro area.
If you travel often for work, think beyond headline distance. Ask yourself how much buffer time you usually need, whether you check bags, whether you use airport parking or rideshare, and whether your flights are concentrated in peak traffic windows. Those practical details will tell you more than a single mileage number about whether the airport feels easy from home.
Household logistics matter too. If one person travels often and another handles drop-offs or pickups, it helps to consider the return trip as well as the outbound drive. A route that seems simple for an individual flyer can feel less simple if a family member is making late-night airport runs or coordinating pickups during busy traffic periods.
For some renters, parking at home is part of the airport question. Felix states that it offers open and reserved parking, with reserved parking available for a monthly fee. That can matter if you expect frequent airport departures before dawn or late returns, because predictable parking at home can make those travel days easier. As with all current fees and availability, confirm the latest details directly with the leasing team.
What to verify before you decide
First, verify the trip from the exact address, 2004 Sherry St, Arlington, TX 76010, to the terminal you expect to use most often at DFW Airport. A map should give you both mileage and time ranges, which is more useful than either figure alone. Check at least one weekday and one weekend scenario if your schedule varies.
Second, compare the airport trip with your other regular drives. If you also commute to an office, school, or hospital, the airport may only be one part of the location decision. A home that works well for occasional DFW trips may or may not work as well for your daily routine, so it helps to evaluate the airport in context rather than in isolation.
Third, if you rely on public transportation or do not plan to drive, verify your options directly with current transit tools and airport ground transportation resources. DFW Airport is well known as a major regional airport, but the practical ease of getting there without a car depends on current transit connections, schedules, and how far you are willing to walk or transfer. Those details can change and should be checked live.
Finally, if airport access is a deciding factor, make your next step a very specific one: pull up directions from Felix to your usual DFW terminal at the times you actually fly, then compare that result with one or two other apartment locations you are considering. That simple side-by-side check will tell you much more than a generic “near the airport” claim.
