It’s a great mix of young professionals. There aren’t a whole lot of undergrads living over here, which is really nice. I love being so close to so many shops and restaurants, but not too close, like I feel you’d be in Uptown. Knox Heights is on the strip of McKinney perpendicular to Knox, so you get the location benefits without the noise.

Located directly between victory park and uptown, only blocks from the tollway, Glasshouse has a premier location. The neighborhood offers a spectrum of restaurant and bar options, and the Katy Trail is a short walk away.

Great place to live. Plenty of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores within walking distance. I do not have to leave a three mile radius unless I want to.

The location of this complex is excellent, especially if you are without a car. There are probably 8+ restaurants that are within a 7 minute walk, mostly on Lemmon Ave, Oak Lawn Ave, and Cedar Springs Rd. Walgreens, Kroger, Genesis Thrift Shop, a public library, and UPS are also a 5-10 minute walk away, so many conveniences are nearby. A post office is about a 15 minute walk away. Hardly anywhere in Dallas is as walkable as this area.

This is a very active neighborhood with a bar scene on the weekends. There are homeless people who live around here, but they have never bothered me. While I wouldn't call it a dangerous neighborhood, there is probably a little more crime than some larger complexes such as the Village.

it is a relatively young area-everyone is pretty friendly

Perfect neighborhood. There are two bars on McKinney that a lot of SMU students love. Most of the bars are on Henderson across 75 and easily walkable too. It’s a very safe area where I feel comfortable walking my dog alone at night as a girl in my early 20s. So nice to live close to the Katy Trail and less than a mile from SMU.

The West Village area has everything a young professional needs. You're walking distance to many of the stores you have to go to the mall to have access to (Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, The Gap, etc.) and you even have access to a local movie theater. When you throw in bars, restaurants, and a large Starbucks...you have a solid spot. I highly recommend the area.
