Safe neighborhood around SMU for niece

[Francisco 2.0 32,432]

Sorry, no pics.

She's moving to SMU area (not from Texas) and is wanting to rent an apartment.  Wanting something (her mom's words) in a good, safe neighborhood.

I'm thinking most anything around SMU is going to fit this description, but wanted to reach out to the hive mind to see what the consensus was.

Thanks all!

Her budget will be the determining factor here.

Yeah budget will be the issue. Everything in the immediate vicinity is nice. Across 75 is good from mockingbird to northwest highway. Anything north of NW Hwy can be sketchy. The Village is good, Lovers to Northwest Highway bordered by Greenville and Skillman. You can also go just a little bit south to Knox Henderson. Just stay closer to 75. West Village is nice.

Stay out of uptown, at least anything south of west village and mdmost’s take on north of NW Hwy. besides that for safety is really hard to stumble upon a bad area in that part of dallas

Exactly this. How many Onlyfans subscribers does she have?

Whatever she does, tell her not to drive on Normandy Avenue with her windows rolled down.

Highland park if her sugar daddy is big-time.

Thanks all!  Suggestions have been passed on.

Well, except the Onlyfans stuff.

Oh, so save the best ideas for yourself so you look helpful.

I see how it is. Just for that, I'll be using coupon codes. So there.

I stayed at Strata on Bennett Ave for a few years after I graduated. Lots of SMU chicks and almost 30 year old chicks in tech looking for their future baby daddy. Just like any big city don't leave shit in your car that you wouldn't mind giving to someone else. Never had a break-in because my truck cab was filled with eatzis waffle containers and LDU coffee cups.

Ackshually would be University Park, hence the name.  There are very few apartments/condos in HP, but quite a few plus duplexes in the SMU area.  I'm sure the rents are astronomical.

If on a budget, there are some older, but very well-maintained apartments in The Village that used to have sub-metered utilities that were a bargain by comparison.  I'm sure the rent is still pretty high, but that's going to be true of any place reasonably conveniently located.

Check out the Midtown Park area. I just moved my daughter into the Mark at Midtown. There is also Luxia at Midtown which is nice.

Is she going through sorority rush?  There are tons of quads within walking distance of campus that those girls occupy.

The Village is the answer.
