UTD's campus is in the southeastern corner of Richardson near Campbell Road. The surrounding area has dense apartment inventory ranging from student-oriented complexes to professional communities. Rents near UTD can be 10–15% lower than comparable units further north in Richardson, as older complexes compete with university housing.
