Members of the Oak Cliff community turned out for a special event this past Friday evening showcasing some local art and the brand-new apartment complex The Finch.
Spanning seven buildings in a nature-rich part of town just down the street from Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, The Finch was built by developer Swede Hanson’s firm Smart Living Residential with financial support from InterBank.
While the neighborhood is typically rather quiet, there was a festive atmosphere at Friday’s event, which included live music by the pool, a DJ, and a slew of vendors offering food, drinks, artwork, clothes, and other goods.
“At The Finch, one of our founding principles is community that empowers you,” Hanson said, addressing the attendees. “Our mission isn’t just to provide apartments but to build a vibrant gathering place where neighbors become friends and creativity flourishes.”
J. Terry Smith, regional president of InterBank in the D-FW market, also made some remarks about their project.
“It isn’t just about building housing. It’s about building opportunity and stability for individuals and families,” he said. “For too long, too many had to choose between long commutes and unaffordable rents, and this development, we think, will help change that. It brings security, dignity, and opportunity, not just for the residents but for the entire community.”
The Finch has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments available with smart entry door locks and stackable full-size washers and dryers. Floor plans range from 384 to 924 square feet. Rents start at $1,158 per month for a studio and top off at $2,123 for a two-bedroom.
As far as amenities go, in addition to a community pool, there’s a resident lounge with a kitchen area, cliffside communal back porch seating, grill areas, and an expansive dog park. Residents also get complimentary access to the nearby Cedar Crest Community Center.
Speaking with CandysDirt.com, Kyle Smith, the primary lender for The Finch, praised Hanson for his dedication to his mission of delivering attainable workforce housing in southern Dallas.
“It took a while to find the land, find the contractor, and obviously COVID didn’t help in the middle of it all, but 4-5 years later he finally put it all together,” he said. “We were all in from the start, and this is something that Dallas has needed for a long time.”
