# Lower Greenville Dallas Apartment Locator: Fourplexes, Walkups and a Patio Strip
Lower Greenville runs along Greenville Avenue from Ross Avenue up to Mockingbird Lane, with Vickery Place and the Belmont blocks on the side streets. Most rentals are older walkups, fourplexes and converted houses, with a few newer midrise buildings on the avenue. The patios draw crowds on weekend nights, so how far a unit sits from Greenville matters as much as the rent.

## Areas we cover inside Lower Greenville
- **Greenville Avenue**: The stretch from Ross Avenue up past Belmont and on to Mockingbird has bars, restaurants and live music venues. Walkups and newer midsize apartment buildings sit along it, and weekend nights are loud close to the strip.
- **Vickery Place**: A historic district of Craftsman houses between Greenville Avenue and US-75. Duplexes and fourplexes mix in, and Lower Greenville's restaurants are a few blocks away on foot.
- **Belmont**: Belmont Avenue crosses Greenville near the middle of the strip. Older fourplexes and small walkup buildings fill the blocks around it, and Lakewood is a short drive east.
## Lower Greenville Apartments a Block Off the Patio Noise
- Walkups and fourplexes in Vickery Place and the Belmont blocks, where a manager often reads applications in person
- We ask about shared utility billing, laundry setup and window units and add them to the monthly total for the older buildings
- We ask about assigned spaces and street permit rules, since some older buildings have fewer spaces than units
- We suggest units a block or more off Greenville when weekend patio noise would keep you up
## Getting Around and Parking
The neighborhood follows Greenville Avenue between Ross and Mockingbird, with Vickery Place and Belmont filling the grid to either side. Central Expressway sits just west, Henderson Avenue branches off toward Knox-Henderson, and Deep Ellum is a short drive south.
From the north end, SMU/Mockingbird Station is about a mile's walk west, where Mockingbird crosses US-75. Red, Blue and Orange line trains stop there. From the Ross Avenue end you'll drive. SMU's campus is under two miles west along Mockingbird.
On the side streets, you park at the curb. Some older buildings have fewer assigned spaces than units, so ask how many come with yours and whether the block needs a parking permit. Along Lowest Greenville, south of Belmont, valet stands and patio traffic make guest parking hard on weekend nights.
## Walkups, Fourplexes, and How They Screen
The buildings here are older than most of central Dallas. Expect low walkups, fourplexes and houses split into units across Vickery Place and the Belmont blocks, plus a handful of newer midrises along the avenue.
In a small, aging building, a person often reads your application instead of a scoring program. That can help if your credit file is thin or has a few marks. Income still carries the most weight, and our [low credit guide](/bad-credit-accepted/) covers how that works.
Older buildings have a few costs to ask about. Is cooling central or a window unit, and what did the summer power bill run? Does the building split water and trash among residents? Is laundry in the unit, shared or down the street? Add each one to the rent.
## Living on and around Lower Greenville
Lower Greenville trades quiet for a walk to dinner. The side streets hold old houses and fourplexes, and Greenville Avenue fills with patio crowds on weekend nights.
### Lower Greenville by car and by bike
In weekday morning traffic, we clock Downtown at about 17 minutes from here, with the Medical District near 23, DFW Airport near 38 and Legacy West near 40. On a bike, the University Crossing Trail starts at the north side of Glencoe Park, at the dead end of Ellsworth Avenue. It links the Katy Trail with the White Rock Creek Trail, so Uptown and the lake are both a ride away on paths. On Lowest Greenville, shared valet stands handle most weekend parking.
- **University Crossing Trail** (trail): The shortcut that ties the Katy Trail to the White Rock Creek Trail; start from the Glencoe Park lot.
### Parks and a lake a short ride away
Glencoe Park, just south of Mockingbird Lane off US-75, has ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, and a lot where trail riders park. The Santa Fe Trail, a concrete path, runs from White Rock Lake through East Dallas to Deep Ellum. White Rock Lake itself is a short drive east, with a paved loop of a little over 9 miles around the water.
- **White Rock Lake** (lake): Go early on a weekend for the full loop before it fills with bikes and runners; sunset from the east shore is worth the drive.
- **Glencoe Park** (park): The closest big lawn and courts to the Greenville strip, and a handy place to park before a trail ride.
### Lowest Greenville and the rest of the strip
Lowest Greenville, the blocks from Ross Avenue up to Belmont, was rebuilt with wide sidewalks where parking lanes used to be. Most places there have patios, and some are covered with misters for July. North of Belmont, the strip leans more toward bars and late nights. Henderson Avenue branches west from Greenville toward Knox-Henderson when you want a change of scene.
- **Greenville Avenue** (dining street): Go on a weeknight for an easy patio table; on Friday and Saturday expect a wait and plan on valet.
### Groceries and errands
Trader Joe's sits on Lower Greenville at the Ross Avenue end. For a bigger weekly run, the original Central Market is at Greenville Avenue and Lovers Lane, about 2 miles north. Mockingbird Station, by the train at US-75, has shops, restaurants and the Angelika Film Center, a theater for independent films.
- **Mockingbird Station** (shopping center): Shops, restaurants and an indie movie house beside the train, so a night out here can skip the car.
### Parades and pumpkins
The Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade runs every March on Greenville Avenue north of Mockingbird, ending at SMU Boulevard. A free festival runs alongside it. Each fall, the Dallas Arboretum across the lake on Garland Road fills its gardens with pumpkins and gourds for several weeks.
- **Dallas Arboretum** (garden): Fall pumpkins and spring flowers draw the biggest crowds; a weekday morning visit keeps the paths quiet.
### What we tell renters on this strip
See any unit that faces Greenville Avenue, or sits within a block of it, on a Friday or Saturday night; the patios run late and the sound carries. The valet stands can run out of room on those nights, so ask how many off street spaces come with the unit. On parade day in March, Greenville Avenue north of Mockingbird is closed, so plan your move for a different weekend.
## Lower Greenville questions
### What kinds of rentals does Lower Greenville have?
Mostly walkups, fourplexes and converted houses on the Vickery Place and Belmont side streets, plus a few newer midrise buildings right on Greenville Avenue. The older buildings usually rent for less than the new ones. Lower Greenville one bedrooms cluster near $1,718 now; the lowest open price we logged, special included, is $1,199.
### What should I ask about an older Lower Greenville building?
Ask if cooling is central or a window unit and what summer power costs. Ask if water and trash are split among residents, how laundry works and how many parking spaces come with the unit.
### Can I walk to a DART station from Lower Greenville?
From the north end, yes: SMU/Mockingbird Station, on the Red, Blue and Orange lines, is about a mile west at Mockingbird and US-75. Closer to Ross Avenue, it's a drive or a bike ride.
### How loud does Greenville Avenue get?
Patios and bars run late Thursday through Saturday, and the sound carries a block or so. See any unit facing the avenue on a Friday night, and expect the street to close north of Mockingbird for the St. Patrick's parade each March.
### Is there an apartment locator near Lower Greenville?
Yes. We cover Lower Greenville from the Ross Avenue end up to Mockingbird, including Vickery Place and the Belmont blocks. We look up how each building screens and tell you what we find before you pay an application fee.
