Great location and management

The Village Dakota is an ideal place for a busy grad student. Two pools and a private gym are great for nearby recreation. You’re also a short walk away from the shaded walking path around a series of water features and a dog park.

The apartments are attractive and comfortable. Walk in closets and large bathrooms make it easy to spread out. Our living room is a little small, but the larger other spaces make up for it. Valet trash and recycling pickup comes to your door 5 nights a week so you don’t need to trek to the dumpsters. Carpeting is dull color and obviously cheap, but plenty cozy.

Great location and perfect for law students

I have overall had a great experience here. The gate at Dakota adds an additional feeling of security as I spent my first year of law school living alone. The maintenance crew respond immediately to any requests I have and it is a very quiet area. I love having access to a running trail and gym and it is only 7 minutes from the law school.

Reviewed by Vickery Meadow Resident living at Holly Glen
Vickery Meadow probably wouldn't have been our first choice because it can feel claustrophobic due to the density of apartments. However, our little corner has almost none of this feel. Holly Glen is tucked in a corner and backed by a forest. We're not comfortable with my wife walking alone apart from the SoPac (and then we try to shoot for times when it's busy). That said, we feel generally safe.
Reviewed by Sam, SMU Graduate School Student living at The Dakota in The Village
I honestly didn’t recognize this neighborhood name until I looked it up. Outside of the Village, the area doesn’t have much of an identity. Retail options nearby are nice and restaurants are good, but there isn’t much of a social scene. You’ll want to head down to lower Greenville, uptown, oak lawn, or deep ellum for bars and things to do. All of those are a short, cheap uber away so it isn’t a big deal.
Reviewed by SMU Graduate Student living at The Green in The Village
While the Village feels like an escape from the city, Greenville ave. is right there, giving easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, and other kinds of shopping. Dallas proper is only about twenty minutes away by car, and DART is also nearby and easy to use. I have a 5-10 minute commute to campus most days, and if I didn't want to drive, the SMU express has several stops in the Village, making it easy to take (free!) public transportation.
Reviewed by SMU Grad Student living at The Corners in The Village
I like the neighborhood. It is quiet and pedestrian friendly. It is great if you are a jogger or have a dog! There are sidewalks, a walking/running path, and a dog park across the street and accessible to anyone living in the Village.
I also like that there are three different grocery stores within a two-mile radius and many eateries off Greenville.
Reviewed by SMU Law Student living at The Dakota in The Village
The entire Village property is beautiful and feels pretty safe; however, the surrounding areas are somewhat rundown and don't feel safe. I'm definitely glad that my complex is gated but would feel safer with more restricted access to the Village and apartment buildings.
Reviewed by SMU Grad School Student living at The Village Corners East
Everyone in the neighborhood minds their business, and it is fairly quiet. This neighborhood is also a great place to meet up with friends since they have a number of bars and restaurants to choose from.
Reviewed by SMU Cox Student living at The Chase in The Village
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.
Reviewed by SMU Graduate School Student living at The Chase in The Village
If your neighbors are students then it might be fine. If your neighbors are those who stay at home all the time and living on government subsidies, then it won't be pleasant.
