8500 Harwood is an apartment community at 8500 Harwood Road in North Richland Hills, Texas, within the same Northeast Tarrant County area as Medical City North Hills Hospital. Medical City North Hills is located at 4401 Booth Calloway Road in North Richland Hills, near the NE Loop 820 and Boulevard 26 corridor. For renters who want to stay within practical reach of that hospital, 8500 Harwood is a residential option to compare with commute times, shift schedules, and daily errands.
Medical City North Hills matters to a wide range of renters, not only hospital employees. Nurses, physicians, technicians, administrative team members, traveling healthcare workers, patients with recurring appointments, and family members supporting someone receiving care may all care about living within a manageable drive. The hospital is part of Medical City Healthcare and provides acute-care hospital services, including emergency care and other inpatient and outpatient medical services, so proximity can be especially useful when your schedule does not follow a typical nine-to-five workday.
From 8500 Harwood, most residents should expect to use a car for the hospital trip and for most daily travel. Harwood Road connects residents toward Precinct Line Road, Davis Boulevard, Boulevard 26, Airport Freeway, and NE Loop 820, which are the main corridors people use to move through North Richland Hills, Hurst, Bedford, and nearby Mid-Cities destinations. Tarrant County College Northeast Campus, North East Mall, local grocery stops, restaurants, and service businesses are also part of the surrounding everyday map, so the location can work well for someone who wants hospital access while still living in a broader residential area.
If you are comparing a rental close to Medical City North Hills Hospital, it helps to think beyond the map pin. A shorter drive is useful, but so are parking, laundry access, a quiet place to sleep after a long shift, and enough space for uniforms, equipment, roommates, or visiting family. At 8500 Harwood, covered parking, valet trash service, 24-hour emergency maintenance, and a clothes care center are practical features to ask about when you tour, especially if your schedule includes nights, weekends, or on-call hours.
The floor plan mix at 8500 Harwood ranges from one-bedroom homes to four-bedroom homes, with published layouts from about 700 to 1,250 square feet. Options include one-bedroom A1 and A2 plans, two-bedroom B1, B2, and B3 plans, a three-bedroom C1 plan, and a four-bedroom C2 plan. That range can suit a solo renter, a pair of roommates, a household that needs a dedicated work or study room, or someone who wants extra bedroom space for family support, but current pricing and availability should always be confirmed directly with the leasing office because they can change.
Inside the homes, features that may be especially useful for healthcare-related schedules include open layouts, spacious closets, high-speed internet readiness, multi-cycle dishwashers, double stainless-steel sinks, stainless steel appliances with countertop microwaves, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplashes, and wood-style flooring. Private patios and balconies are included in the amenity list, while features such as full-size washer and dryer, washer and dryer connections, ceiling fans, built-in bookshelves, wood-burning fireplaces, private fenced backyards, and exterior storage are available in select homes, so it is worth confirming the exact apartment before applying.
Outside the apartment, 8500 Harwood offers several community spaces that can help residents reset between workdays or appointments: four pools, courtyards with grilling areas, a resident lounge with billiards and free Wi-Fi, a multi-level fitness center with strength and cardio machines plus a yoga room, a half-size basketball court, three playground areas, landscaped grounds, and a pet-friendly setting with a bark park. These amenities are not a substitute for evaluating commute time, noise preference, or floor level, but they do give residents places to exercise, sit outside, or spend time at home without having to leave the community.
The honest trade-off is that this is not the best fit if you need a truly walkable, car-free routine to Medical City North Hills Hospital. The hospital area and the Harwood Road area are both part of North Richland Hills, but daily travel in this part of Tarrant County is built around major roads and driving. If your priority is stepping out your door and walking to a hospital entrance, you should compare apartments immediately around Booth Calloway Road as well.
If 8500 Harwood sounds like it may fit your commute and home priorities, schedule a tour or contact the leasing office to confirm available floor plans, current pricing, select-home features, and the best route to Medical City North Hills for your typical travel time.
