Great Apartment, near campus and easy access to SMU. Managers are easy to work with and living there is easy. Further from other students and off campus events than I would like.

Everything except Managment

The apartment is great, neighbors are great, the location is great. The management is not exactly responsive or helpful though. I wouldn't say that they're terrible, but they're not great.

Phoenix

The Phoenix is a very popular building for SMU students, but there is a surprising number of families and ethnic people here. I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't an SMU student just because it gets loud and people have parties and stuff. This one time, I was walking to a friend's on a different floor, I walked into the wrong apartment, but they invited me to hang out there for a while anyway. People here are either super friendly, or are super weird and I feel like they're going to murder me. It's sketchy, but everyone seems to be fine with it because it's close to SMU. Also there's a Kroger across the street so that's good.

About M Streets

M Streets is the perfect neighborhood for a younger crowd that craves living in a classic neighborhood while not having to sacrifice a city lifestyle. The peaceful streets, lined with oak and pecan trees, were originally developed in the early 1920s. The plan at the time paid special attention on be...

The neighborhood is great. I feel very safe walking alone around the apartment, in the grocery store, and at restaurants nearby.

Super close to SMU, lots of accessible restaurants, stores, gas stations, etc. Easy access to the freeway.

There are a ton of shops and restaurants within walking distance which is great, but there are also a lot of homeless people and some wild stuff going on at night. My boyfriend works the night shift at 7/11 and always comes home with the craziest stories. During the day I would say I love the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is pretty commercial, so it’s not very peaceful…. But lots of good stuff is located very close by or right next to the building (gym/grocery)
Reviewed by SMU Cox Student living at Gentry on M Streets
Nice, family- and pet-friendly neighborhood. Glencoe Park is right in front of the apartment complex, so there are many families, elderly people, runners, cyclists, dogs, and dog owners walking about the neighborhood. Great area!

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!
Reviewed by Student living at The Atwood
The vast majority of the tenants are working professionals. I've never seen kids in the complex, and being in my mid-twenties I feel on the young side of the tenants. I've never had unpleasant interactions with the other tenants, everyone keeps to themselves. The complex is close to Skillman and Lovers, so there is plenty of street noise, sirens, etc. but it hasn't been a big bother. It does feel tucked away and not like we're living right on top of a busy street.

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.
