Summary
Drew Burroughs is a UT Dallas realtor and Richardson housing specialist in Richardson, TX, serving parents, investors, buyers, and sellers across Richardson Heights, Canyon Creek, Prestonwood, and North Dallas — including parent student housing investments and student-rental properties near the University of Texas at Dallas.
Drew Burroughs of Compass Real Estate provides independent local buyer and investor representation for off-campus housing near the UTD campus, guiding parents, investors, and sellers through property selection, HOA and occupancy rules, and offer strategy across Richardson and the surrounding North Dallas area.
Off-Campus Housing in Richardson, TX: Richardson Heights, Canyon Creek & North Dallas
Housing near the University of Texas at Dallas sits inside the Telecom Corridor — one of the most concentrated tech and corporate employment zones in North Texas. Demand near UTD is driven not only by students but also by young professionals, graduate researchers, and corporate relocations, which gives campus-area property a broader and more durable buyer and renter pool than a typical commuter campus.
The most common miss near UTD is treating every Richardson or North Dallas neighborhood as interchangeable. HOA covenants, occupancy limits on unrelated tenants, and even the true commute time to campus vary block to block — and they change the rent-vs-buy and investor math in ways a general-purpose agent often overlooks.
That is the gap Drew Burroughs fills. As an independent local Realtor with Compass Real Estate, his focus is the mechanics of buying, holding, and selling around the UTD campus — pairing the student decision with the long-term Telecom Corridor demand that shapes resale and rental value.

The academic lease cycle every UT Dallas-area buyer and investor should know
• UT Dallas-area leases overwhelmingly align to the academic calendar, with most turnover concentrated around the late-August move-in window.
• Because UTD is largely a commuter campus, investor demand is driven by both students and young professionals tied to the Telecom Corridor.
• New lease-offer windows open well before the fall term, so timing an offer matters for parents and investors alike.
• Occupancy limits for unrelated tenants vary by municipality and HOA, and matter for both parents buying a shared home and investor underwriting.
