Outdated facilities and poor maintenance

The location of the Village is great. The amenities in the unit were mostly bad. At this price range having no in unit washer dryer is ridiculous. The Village is coasting by on name recognition alone for this set of units. The saving value of the Village is it is convenient to campus, shopping, and US 75.

The units are the Village Corners are all very old and outdated. The maintenance and quality of the fixtures is bad. The layout of the kitchens is awful and tiny so say goodbye to cooking with anyone but yourself. Outdoor odors of smoke from other apartments are abundant. Your A/C unit will be filthy and full of vines growing in it running up your power bill because the maintenance staff doesn't bother to clean it. The maintenance staff is too quick to do things and is sloppy. They tried to paint in my unit standing on a 5 gallon jug of paint and splattered paint everywhere. The doors and windows leak air and water. I could keep going but it would be redundant. Just know you are paying for a clean but outdated and frankly somewhat dumpy apartment.

So much of the cost of the unit goes toward the useless private security, expansive gym, subsidizing the dead restaurants, and large pool. If you plan on not being in your unit much then it might be great. Otherwise forget it.

That being said, the gym and other common facilities are somewhat nice. Even though you pay exorbitant rent the Village finds a way to still nickel and dime you. Buzz and Bustle, the coffee shop they will show you on the tour, does not even have free wifi. The laundry machines don't work half the time and charge you 2.50 for a wash and 1.75 for a dry. That is insane. If a machine in your room goes out of service, say goodbye to it for at least a month. That happened more than once.

Love it!

The Village has a very good community feel and a lot of amenities. Westside particularly is gated with a lot of safety features which make living in a bigger city more comfortable. Very pet friendly as well and there’s a lot of other law students here

Love it!

No complaints! The maintenance is quick and efficient, the patrol service is helpful, the amenities are fantastic, and the apartment itself is great! Lots of parking options, and love that my community is gated. Also, for my building (7), there is a dog park right next to the building which is a huge help.

Great place to live

I really love my apartment. It's gated, has a pool and a dog park. I haven't ever felt unsafe here (as a single woman living alone, that is very important). I haven't had any problems with management. They're always helpful and responsive.

The Village Westside is a Great Place for Young Professionals

I have enjoyed my experience at The Village Westside. The apartments are clean and spacious with great natural light. The appliances are not the newest, but they run well and efficiently.

The Village is very centrally located and has easy access to Northwest HWY, 75, and Greenville.

I personally like that The Village Westside is gated (other Village properties are not).

The Village Westside also offers great (and free) amenities such as two pools, fitness centers, and Village events.

I would definitely recommend living in the Village Westside if you are looking for carefree, comfortable, accessible living!

Love the neighborhood. Generally safe area for Dallas. The village is so big you feel like you’re in your own community
Very affordable and still close to campus (with a vehicle)
The neighborhood is good. It's noisy and constantly busy, but that's because it is a massive cluster of apartments. It get nasty real quick to the immediate north of the Village. I wouldn't go there during the day. There are plenty of bums, vicious looking criminals, nasty thugs, and the assortment of terrible human beings saturating the area just north of Loop 12.
The neighborhood is super pet friendly. I always see people walking their dogs. The neighborhood is also very safe. The Village has its own private security that drives around the property 24/7. It is also super affordable compared to other Dallas apartments, and I think it is a great bang for your buck. The neighborhood is also mainly young people, from what I can tell.
What I liked about this neighborhood is that there are a lot of immigrants living there, so you can meet people from all over the world. What's not so great is, most of the buildings in this neighborhood are very run-down and there are constantly police helicopters flying overhead. There are no parks that you can walk to. But you can walk to Walmart in less than 5 minutes. The best thing about this neighborhood is that there is a giant Half Price Books just a few blocks away.
The neighborhood is great! It's near school and super safe. There's 24-hour Village security that covers all of the Village properties. There is a lot of construction happening because they're building a new apartment and shopping/restaurant center nearby, but that should be finished soon.
The neighborhood seems to be safe and is pretty quiet. I like seeing people out running and walking their dogs.
Easy to get around, shop, etc. Good grocery stores and gas stations nearby. Quick access to 75. Mostly chain restaurants but clean and high quality. Easy to get to SMU, North Park.
