Location, Amenities & Updated

I have lived in this apartment for over 3 years (renewed for a 4th). It is a great area for young professionals (about 90% of the neighborhood is made up of mid-20s year-olds in mid-rise buildings). There are plenty of trees, many people walk their dogs in the area, and it is relatively affordable given the location. It is a short walk (2 blocks away) to many bars and restaurants on Henderson (and Lower Greenville, depending on the weather), but is not too close that I have heard any loud noise from the bars. Depending on lights and traffic, it takes 5-15 minutes to get to SMU. The maintenance is great, the pool is the best I've seen in Dallas, and the finishings in the apartment are updated and modern. There is a CVS across the street, and three grocery stores within a 3 minute drive. Maintenance has been absolutely and consistently wonderful.

Small downsides: The area is only moderately safe after dark (I would not often go out alone in the middle of the night, but that's the case pretty much anywhere in the city). The leasing office is 50-50; some leasing agents are very responsive and attentive, while others need to constantly be reminded of actions needed on their end. An average of 1 elevator is usually broken, but there are three in the building.

Very Pleasant Experience

I've had an overall pleasant experience at Strata. The front office is responsive, kind, and occasionally host happy hours on Fridays, which can be fun. The pool and common areas are aesthetically pleasing, and it's overall great place. I've enjoyed it.

Love the Strata

As a whole I love this apartment! Pros: hardwood floors, granite counters, top notch appliances, garden tub, huge walk-in closet, open layout in living room/kitchen. Cons: no linen/coat closet, parking garage gate was broken very often and the noise! I know they cant necessarily help the construction being done but I have heard it every day for 10 months. They start as early as 6am and end around 7pm. It made it really hard to enjoy my home when I constantly heard jack hammering or beeping tractors. The management was great overall. Sometimes it was difficult to find a human body in the office but once I did they were always efficient in meeting my needs.

Old East Dallas Reviews

30 reviews
The area is becoming gentrified, so some areas feel unsafe while others feel very walkable. There is an upcoming bar scene along Ross. I love that I am close to everything -- Fair Park, Deep Ellum, Downtown, Uptown, White Rock Lake, SMU, etc. I am close to Kroger, Target, Sprouts and Whole Foods. There are TONS of restaurant and nightlife options. I would not recommend using scooters in the streets and to be wary riding a bike. There are few bike lanes and sidewalks end randomly. There are many gyms, libraries and things to do nearby including a few parks and simple trails.
Amazing location. Quick access to 75 and into heart of downtown. Takes only 5 minutes to get to Lemmon Ave, Greenville Ave and Skillman Ave. Area surrounding the property is either residential neighborhood or sketchy gas stations. Shady characters have been spotted on the property peeking in the gymnasium windows. But overall, safe comparable to anything further south.
Apartments in Old East Dallas are close enough to Uptown and Knox Henderson that you get the city vibe without the city prices. Check out Jimmy's Food Store - an Italian grocery store with THE BEST sandwiches and cannolis!
The neighborhood is mid-gentrification. There are areas that have been completely gentrified and areas that have yet to be touched. It is definitely a diverse area with a lot of cool restaurants.
The neighborhood is definitely a fun place to be as a social young person in Dallas - the proximity in the city and popular bars and restaurants can't really be beat
The neighborhood is up and coming so there are a lot of good restaurants popping up in the immediate area. Lots of young professionals live in this area.
The neighborhood is fantastic. The closer you get towards 75 or Fitzhugh is not the best. Camden Henderson is situated in a cozy area.
It's undergoing a transformation; starting to get bars and restaurants. Lots of walkable parks to get to.
