The Ellington is an apartment near JPMorgan Chase’s Plano Corporate Center for renters who want a West Plano home base close to the Legacy West business area. The community is located at 4701 Preston Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093, while JPMorgan Chase’s large Plano campus is at 8181 Communications Parkway in the Legacy West district. For many residents, the practical question is not only mileage, but which route works best during commute hours.
JPMorgan Chase’s Plano campus is part of a major employment corridor along the Dallas North Tollway, near Legacy Drive, Headquarters Drive, Communications Parkway, and Parkwood Boulevard. People looking in this area are often comparing access to corporate offices in Legacy West, The Shops at Legacy, Granite Park, Stonebriar Centre, and the broader Frisco and North Dallas job market. If your work schedule includes peak arrival or departure times, it is worth testing the drive at the same time you would normally commute.
From The Ellington, residents typically use Preston Road, West Park Boulevard, Legacy Drive, Parkwood Boulevard, or the Dallas North Tollway depending on the destination and traffic. Preston Road is useful for everyday errands, restaurants, grocery stops, and north-south local travel, while the Tollway is the faster regional route for many trips toward Legacy West, Frisco, Addison, and Dallas. Sam Rayburn Tollway and President George Bush Turnpike are also important connectors in this part of Collin County, especially for commuters who split time across multiple office locations.
The floor plan mix at The Ellington is helpful for renters who want more room than a compact studio-style setup. Current plans include one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts ranging from about 795 to 1,725 square feet, with apartment and townhome options represented in the lineup. Several plans are split-level townhomes, and current pricing, lease terms, and available move-in dates are best confirmed directly with the leasing office because availability changes.
For workdays, the most relevant community amenities are the WiFi cafe, clubhouse and resident lounge, fully equipped fitness center with yoga room, and on-site management. After hours, residents have access to a resort-inspired pool with sundeck, poolside fire lounge, outdoor grilling area, dog park, door-to-door trash pickup, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. These are the kinds of features that matter when you are choosing a place not just for the commute, but for the routine around it.
Inside the homes, The Ellington offers wood plank flooring, upgraded lighting packages with ceiling fans, quartz countertops, pantries, built-in microwaves, multi-cycle dishwashers, brushed nickel hardware, spacious closets, linen closets, private patios or balconies, and washer and dryer connections. Select homes may include townhome split-level design, crown molding, vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, built-in desks, bay windows, exterior storage, double vanities, or attached garages, so it is smart to ask which features are included in the exact apartment you tour.
The honest trade-off is that this is a car-oriented West Plano location. If you are trying to avoid driving altogether, or you want to rely on rail transit for a daily commute to Legacy West, this address may not be the easiest fit. If you plan to drive and want access to both established Preston Road conveniences and the Legacy West employment corridor, The Ellington is worth comparing against communities closer to the Tollway.
If you are deciding based on the JPMorgan Chase commute, schedule a tour and ask the leasing team which available floor plans best match your work schedule, parking needs, pet needs, and preferred move-in date.
