We hear the same story from DFW renters every week. The problem usually is not you. It is applying to the wrong communities for your situation. block ### Denied for bad credit Low scores, charge-offs, and collections shut you out before you even get to the manager. description ### A broken lease on file A judgment, dismissal, or unpaid balance keeps landing your application in the no pile. gavel ### A background record An older misdemeanor or felony triggers an auto-decline at communities that screen strictly. payments ### Wasted application fees Every non-refundable fee on a property that was never going to approve you stings twice. Local context ## Kennedale Rental Market for Second Chance Applicants Last updated July 13, 2026 Dallas Second Chance Apartments helps renters seeking housing in Kennedale find approved options in this small Tarrant County community between Arlington and Mansfield - 100% free. Backed by 20+ years of combined DFW experience and a locator database of 3,000+ apartment communities, we pre-verify each property's screening criteria before you apply. Kennedale sits along **US-287** between Arlington to the north and Mansfield to the south, covering roughly 5 square miles in southwestern Tarrant County. The apartment inventory is among the most limited in the DFW Metroplex - rental units concentrate along the **US-287 Corridor** and the **Town Center** area near **Kennedale Speedway Park** and **Town Center Park**, where a modest supply of garden-style apartments, townhomes, and smaller multi-family complexes draws renters employed in manufacturing, distribution, and service-sector roles along the US-287 and **I-20** employment belt. Residential pockets in **Falcon Wood Estates** and **South Kennedale** near **Tierra Verde Golf Club** are primarily single-family, so renters in those areas typically look toward the US-287 corridor for available units. Because the pool of rental communities is genuinely small, knowing exactly which properties will work with your credit, eviction, or background record before you submit a non-refundable application fee matters more than in larger markets. When the local inventory does not produce a strong match, we draw on our Arlington, Mansfield, and Grand Prairie coverage to build a custom list that keeps you as geographically close to this corridor as your approval profile allows. **Loop 820** connects Kennedale to southeast Fort Worth in minutes, opening additional apartment communities for renters who need to stay near the **Kennedale Public Library** or local schools. The Dallas Second Chance Apartments team contacts property managers directly, confirms each community's actual 2026 screening criteria, and delivers a list where your specific profile - credit flag, eviction, or background record - has a real shot at approval without a wasted application fee. ### Sub-areas we cover - US-287 Corridor - Town Center - I-20 Corridor - South Kennedale - North Kennedale - Falcon Wood Estates ### Key landmarks nearby - place Town Center Park - place Kennedale Speedway Park - place Sonora Park - place Tierra Verde Golf Club - place Kennedale Public Library Get My Custom List [/contact/ →](/contact/) ![Kennedale neighborhood](/images/misc/dfw-neighborhood-street-view-with-apartment-buildi.webp) Services in Kennedale ## Apartment Locating for Every Credit Situation check\_circle ### Bad Credit Free locating in Kennedale, with criteria pre-verified before you apply.

Arlington FAQ ## Frequently Asked Apartment Questions What credit score do I need to rent an apartment in Kennedale? expand\_more Most communities along the US-287 Corridor set a minimum credit score between 500 and 580. A smaller number of older garden-style complexes may approve applicants with lower scores when current income is sufficient.

Are there apartments in Kennedale that accept broken leases or evictions? expand\_more Yes, though the inventory is limited. Select communities along the US-287 Corridor accept applicants with broken leases or past evictions when current income meets their threshold and the recent rental record is clean.

The apartment complexes that exist are limited in number, and many lean toward newer construction with stricter credit and income requirements, making pre-verification especially important before spending a non-refundable application fee.
