The Ellington is a Plano apartment community at 4701 Preston Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093, with one-bedroom homes for renters who want access to the FedEx Office World Headquarters area. FedEx Office is headquartered on Legacy Drive in Plano, within the larger Legacy business corridor, and residents here typically reach that area by car using Preston Road, West Plano Parkway, the Dallas North Tollway, or Legacy Drive. If you are comparing a 1 bedroom rental near FedEx Office World Headquarters, current one-bedroom availability at The Ellington is best confirmed directly with the leasing office.
Being near FedEx Office headquarters matters most for people whose work is tied to Plano’s corporate west side: employees, contractors, consultants, relocating team members, and hybrid workers who want a manageable drive without living directly beside the office campus. The Legacy area is also close to business hotels, dining, and shopping around Legacy West and The Shops at Legacy, which can be useful when your schedule includes client meetings, after-work errands, or travel days.
The Ellington’s location works best for residents who drive. Preston Road is the main everyday route for groceries, restaurants, and north-south trips through West Plano, while West Plano Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway help connect to the Legacy corridor, Frisco, Addison, and North Dallas. For airport travel, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the closest major airport noted for the community, which is useful if your job includes regional or national travel.
For one-bedroom renters, The Ellington’s available one-bedroom floor plans span from 795 to 985 square feet. The A1 and A2 are apartment-style one-bedroom layouts, while the A3 and A4 are townhome-style one-bedroom options with split-level design available in select homes. The community also offers two-bedroom layouts from 920 to 1,725 square feet, including apartment and townhome options, so it can support residents who need an office, guest room, or more separation between work and home. Pricing, lease terms, and move-in dates change, so it is smart to verify the latest availability before applying.
Inside the homes, features that tend to matter for workday routines include washer and dryer connections, spacious closets, linen closets, private patios or balconies, quartz countertops, built-in microwaves, multi-cycle dishwashers, upgraded lighting, and ceiling fans. Select homes may include a split-level townhome design, crown molding, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, built-in desks, bay windows, exterior storage, or attached garages, so ask the office which features come with the exact floor plan or apartment you are considering.
The shared amenities are helpful if you work close by but do not want every part of your day to revolve around the office. The community includes a resident clubhouse and lounge, a Wi-Fi cafe, a fully equipped fitness center with yoga room, a resort-inspired pool with sundeck, a poolside fire lounge, outdoor grilling, door-to-door trash pickup, on-site management, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. Pet owners can also use the dog park, and the community welcomes dogs and cats under its pet policy.
The honest trade-off is that The Ellington is not a walk-to-work choice for FedEx Office headquarters or the Legacy business district. This part of Plano is built around major roads, office campuses, and shopping centers, so residents who want a transit-first lifestyle or daily walking access to work may want to compare options directly along Legacy Drive or near a denser mixed-use district.
If The Ellington seems like the right fit for your commute and daily routine, schedule a tour or contact the leasing office to confirm current one-bedroom availability, the exact features in the home you like, and the best route for your typical workday.
