To apply for an apartment at Felix in Arlington, you can complete an application online through the community’s leasing portal or apply in person at the leasing office at 2004 Sherry St, Arlington, TX 76010. Each adult applicant pays a non-refundable $75 application fee, and approved applicants who choose a home then pay a security deposit, typically $250 to one month’s rent, to reserve the apartment.
Before you start, it is also important to know Felix’s stated screening standard: applicants must meet a minimum income requirement of 3 times the monthly rent and pass credit, background, and rental history screening under the written rental criteria. If you do not have rental history, Felix states that a guarantor may be accepted based on screening results.
What to have ready before you apply
The easiest way to avoid delays is to gather your information before you begin the application. Because each adult pays a separate application fee, every adult who will be on the lease should be prepared to submit their own application information rather than assuming one person can complete everything for the household.
Income is one of the clearest approval factors Felix has published. The community requires at least 3 times the monthly rent in income, so it helps to review the current rent for the floor plan you want and calculate whether your household meets that threshold under the community’s written criteria. If you are close to the requirement, ask the leasing team how they calculate qualifying income and what documentation they accept.
Screening also includes credit, background, and rental history. That means it is smart to review your records for issues that could slow the process, such as incomplete rental references, unresolved balances with a prior landlord, or identification documents that do not match the information on your application. Verifying those details ahead of time can make the process smoother.
If you are applying without rental history, do not assume that automatically disqualifies you. Felix states that applicants without rental history may be approved with a guarantor based on screening results. In that situation, the most useful next step is to contact the leasing office before applying so you can confirm what the guarantor will need to provide and whether any additional documentation is required.
How the Felix application process generally works
If you want the fastest route, start by checking current availability directly with the leasing team or through the online leasing portal. Apartment availability, move-in dates, and pricing can change, so the best application is tied to a specific home or current floor plan option rather than a general inquiry.
Felix offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, which matters during the application process because your preferred size affects both rent and qualification. Published examples include one-bedroom plans such as the A1, A2, and A3, and two-bedroom plans such as the B1, B2, B3, and B4, but current pricing, availability, and lease terms should be confirmed directly with the leasing office before you submit payment.
After you apply, the next major step is approval and unit selection. Felix states that once you are approved and select your home, a security deposit is paid at that time to reserve the apartment and support the move-in process. The stated deposit range is typically $250 to one month’s rent, which means the amount can vary, so it is worth confirming the exact figure for your application before you finalize your choice.
If you would rather apply in person, Felix’s office hours provide a clear window for when to visit: Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed Sunday. Applying in person can be helpful if you want staff to explain the paperwork, discuss guarantor questions, or clarify what fees and deposits will be due at each step.
What to verify before you submit payment
Application fees are non-refundable, so it is worth slowing down long enough to confirm the basics before you click submit. Ask which apartment home or floor plan you are applying for, the current monthly rent, the expected move-in date, and the total amount due if you are approved. Those are practical questions, not minor details, because they affect whether the home actually fits your timeline and budget.
You should also confirm any apartment-specific features that matter to your household. Felix lists features such as washer and dryer connections, private patios or balconies, vaulted ceilings, and wood-burning fireplaces in select homes, so if one of those features is important to you, make sure it is included in the exact apartment you are considering rather than assuming it appears in every layout.
Parking is another item worth clarifying early. Felix states that open and reserved parking are available, with reserved parking offered for $35 per month. If your household has more than one vehicle, prefers a designated space, or expects frequent guests, asking about parking terms before applying can prevent surprises later in the process.
For a low-pressure next step, call Felix at 817.616.8698 or visit during office hours and ask for the current application link, written rental criteria, and the exact total due for the floor plan you want. That gives you the information you need to decide whether to apply online right away or complete the process in person with staff guidance.
