Live Oak at the Branch is an apartment community at 4670 Amesbury Dr, Dallas, TX 75206, west of White Rock Lake and close to the East Dallas roads people use to reach the lake area. For renters comparing Apartments Near White Rock Lake, this location makes sense if you want access to the lake’s trails, parks, and neighborhood destinations while still staying near Greenville Avenue, East Lovers Lane, and US-75/Central Expressway.
White Rock Lake is one of Dallas’s most established outdoor areas, known for its roughly 9-mile trail loop, lake views, picnic areas, boating activity, and access to places such as the Bath House Cultural Center and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden on the southeast side of the lake. It matters most to residents who run, cycle, walk dogs, birdwatch, meet friends outdoors, or simply want a reliable weekend place that does not require leaving the city.
From Live Oak at the Branch, the practical routes are straightforward: Amesbury Drive connects you into the surrounding neighborhood grid, Greenville Avenue is useful for dining and errands, East Lovers Lane and Mockingbird Lane help with east-west movement, and Skillman Street is a common approach toward the White Rock Lake area. US-75/Central Expressway is nearby for broader Dallas commuting, while Dallas Love Field is the closest major airport listed for the community.
The apartment mix here is simple to understand. Live Oak at the Branch offers one- and two-bedroom apartment homes, along with townhome-style residences, with current listed one-bedroom plans ranging from about 735 to 851 square feet and two-bedroom plans ranging from about 1,160 to 1,249 square feet. Current pricing, deposits, lease terms, and availability can change, so it is best to confirm those details directly with the leasing office before applying.
The amenities that tend to matter for lake-oriented residents are the ones that support an active but low-friction routine at home. The community includes a wellness center with Technogym equipment, a resort-style pool with tanning areas, grilling stations, an outdoor entertainment space with a fire pit, a rooftop lounge, an entertainment lounge with Wi-Fi, and a business center with PCs. There are also 24/7 package lockers, an online portal for rent payments and service requests, a dedicated resident services office, and 24/7 emergency maintenance.
Pet owners should know that Live Oak at the Branch is pet-friendly and includes an on-site pet park and pet spa, which can be especially useful if your dog gets regular walks around White Rock Lake or nearby neighborhood trails. The community’s published pet policy notes a maximum of two pets per apartment home, pet fees and monthly pet rent, and possible breed or weight restrictions, so confirm the latest pet guidelines with the office before you move in.
Inside the apartment homes, listed features include high-speed internet access, washer and dryer hookups, air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, smoke-free interiors, cable-ready access, a security system, dishwasher, disposal, eat-in kitchen, microwave, range, hardwood floors, dining room, den, window coverings, and yard space. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are listed among the resident amenities, and private one- and two-car garages, Spruce concierge service, wood-burning fireplaces, and furnished options may be available in select situations, so ask the team which homes include them.
The honest trade-off is that this is not a lakefront community. If your priority is stepping directly onto the White Rock Lake trail from your front door, you will want to compare properties closer to the shoreline, and you should expect traffic and parking to vary around the lake during popular weekend times and events.
