The Mark at 2600 is an apartment community at 2624 Southern Hills Blvd in Arlington, TX 76006, offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. It is a practical option for renters who want Arlington apartment living within driving reach of The Parks Mall at Arlington, the enclosed regional shopping center on South Cooper Street near I-20. Current rates, move-in dates, and available homes should be confirmed directly with the leasing office because pricing changes with availability.
When people compare apartments near The Parks Mall Arlington, they are usually weighing more than shopping. The mall area is useful for residents who regularly use South Cooper Street for errands, dining, retail work, entertainment, or weekend plans, and The Parks Mall at Arlington also places you near the I-20 corridor, one of the main east-west routes through south Arlington. Having that destination within a reasonable driving routine can reduce the number of separate trips you make for clothing, gifts, phone services, food, and other everyday needs.
From The Mark at 2600, getting around Arlington is mostly a driving routine. Residents commonly use nearby corridors such as I-30, State Highway 360, Lamar Boulevard, Collins Street, and Cooper Street depending on the destination and traffic. The mall area sits south of the community near I-20 and South Cooper Street, while other well-known Arlington destinations, including the entertainment district around AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags Over Texas, are closer to the north Arlington side of town. The University of Texas at Arlington is also approximately 6 miles away, which can matter if your week includes campus, downtown Arlington, or central Arlington errands.
The floor plans here are straightforward: one-bedroom homes include the A1 at 718 square feet and A2 at 732 square feet, two-bedroom layouts include the B1 at 858 square feet and B2 at 998 square feet, and the C1 offers three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,204 square feet. That range gives renters room to compare layout, storage, and bedroom count without moving outside the same community. Because available homes can change quickly, the best next step is to ask the office which specific floor plans are open for your target move date.
Inside the apartments, the features that tend to matter most for day-to-day value are the washer and dryer connections, private patios or balconies, cable-ready setup, ceiling fans in dining rooms, contemporary cabinetry and fixtures, granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplashes, double stainless steel sinks, black electric appliances, and multi-cycle dishwashers. Select homes may include wood-style flooring, wood-burning fireplaces, linen closets, spacious closets, vaulted ceilings, separate showers with glass enclosures, and pantries, so it is worth confirming those details for the exact apartment you are considering.
The community amenities are also built around practical use: controlled access gates, reserved covered parking, a clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, playground, picnic and grilling area, clothes care center, professional landscaping, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. If you have a pet, The Mark at 2600 is pet-friendly and offers pet relief areas, with River Legacy Dog Park being one nearby option for a larger outing. Reserved covered parking is a helpful feature in Texas heat, but availability should be checked before you make it part of your decision.
The honest trade-off is that this community is not a walk-to-the-mall location, and it will not be the best fit for someone who wants to live directly beside The Parks Mall or avoid driving across Arlington. South Cooper Street and I-20 can also get busy, especially around weekends and holiday shopping periods. If you like the north Arlington address but still want regular access to the mall corridor, contact the office to compare current availability and schedule a tour at a pace that works for you.
