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.

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.
Reviewed by SMU Law Student living at The Bend in The Village
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.
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.
