NRP Group Opens 324-Unit Mixed-Income Community in Dallas
The NRP Group, a nationally recognized developer, builder, and manager of multifamily housing, has officially opened Ascent at Mountain Creek, a 324-unit mixed-income housing community in Dallas, Texas. This new development, located just 15 minutes from downtown Dallas, aims to address the city’s growing need for affordable and high-quality housing. Half of the units are designated for individuals and families earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), making it an essential addition to the region’s housing landscape.
Addressing Dallas’ Affordability Challenge
“As Dallas-Fort Worth’s affordability crisis deepens, Ascent at Mountain Creek provides much-needed housing at a mix of income levels for essential workers,” said Alena Savera, Vice President of Development at The NRP Group. “We’re grateful for the partnership and collaboration of the city, which has allowed us to deliver a community that meets the diverse needs of Dallas renters and enhances resident quality of life.”
The new housing community offers a solution for workers such as teachers, nurses, first responders, and public transit operators, who often face challenges in securing affordable homes near their workplaces.
Prime Location & Lifestyle Benefits
Strategically positioned at the intersection of Highway 408 and I-20, Ascent at Mountain Creek is surrounded by rolling hills, green spaces, and proximity to Mountain Creek Lake, less than 10 miles away. The community is also close to the 450-acre Mountain Creek Business Park, which houses major employers like Nestlé, Ulta Beauty, and Chewy.
Residents of Ascent at Mountain Creek enjoy easy access to daily conveniences, including Target, Home Depot, and the Methodist Charlton Medical Center, all within a 10-minute drive. Recreational attractions such as Epic Waters Waterpark and Grand Oaks Golf Club add to the area’s appeal. The development is also well-connected to retail and dining options and offers a short commute to employment hubs in downtown Dallas.
Thoughtfully Designed Homes
The community consists of 14 three-story, wood-frame buildings that house one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Understanding the evolving needs of modern renters, the development includes den floor plans for one- and two-bedroom units, catering to individuals who work from home.
Each unit features high-end finishes, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, backlit mirrors, and walk-in closets. These upscale interiors are complemented by a selection of premier amenities designed to enhance residents’ lifestyles.
Resort-Style Amenities
Ascent at Mountain Creek offers an impressive selection of community amenities, including:
- A resort-style swimming pool
- A state-of-the-art fitness center with a dedicated spin room
- A modern clubhouse lounge for social gatherings
- A dog park for pet-friendly living
These features create a vibrant and engaging residential experience while fostering a strong sense of community among tenants.
Collaboration for Affordable Housing
The demand for mixed-income housing continues to grow in the Dallas metro area, where rising costs make it difficult for many residents to find reasonably priced homes.
“There is a pressing need for mixed-income housing in the metroplex, where rising costs are making it harder for residents to find affordable homes,” said Keith Pomykal, District 14 Dallas PFC Board Member. “Working with The NRP Group has allowed us to deliver the quality and attainable housing our community needs.”
This project is the result of a collaborative effort between The NRP Group and local officials, ensuring that Ascent at Mountain Creek meets both affordability requirements and high-quality standards.
The NRP Group’s Growing Presence in Dallas
The Dallas metro area remains a key market for The NRP Group, which has already developed over 6,700 units across 30 properties in the region. The company recently broke ground on additional affordable housing projects, including Thrive on Crawford in Fort Worth and The Fielder in Mesquite.

The NRP Group has received numerous accolades, including:
- Recognition on the NMHC “Top 50” lists as one of the largest developers and builders in the country.
- A top 5 ranking on Multi-Housing News’ “Top Multifamily Developers” list.
- A Top Affordable Housing Developer designation by Affordable Housing Finance.
