Moving to Dallas and my office is near Klyde Warren Park.

Since I’ll be traveling most of the month, I hope to keep my apartment cheap and get a studio or 1 bed under $2K.

This seems possible at high rises in downtown Dallas, victory park, and even uptown. Anyone have recommendations on where to live with a view, but also on a budget?

Downtown is definitely a rough atmosphere with a late night bar scene. There are a ton of homeless and there have been shootings in the past in deep ellum. Uptown and Victory Park in that order are definitely preferable if you can find something within your budget.

There are no homeless in DFW

I’d stay away from most uptown places and recommend checking out the following (in no particular order):
AMLI fountain place
Victor
The Ascent
Atelier
National
Park district - this would be most convenient
1900 McKinney
Aster
Ardan
Selene
Christopher
Katy Victory Park

Both of those are safe! I would just say the Whole Foods area of McKinney isn’t as safe. Those that are on the katy trail are good!

I lived at Marquis of State Thomas. The apartments that face Maple-Routh connection have views. The complex is nice and they have one bedrooms and studios for less than $2k. I would live there again if I needed to move back into an apartment (currently living in a house).

I second this. Loved the neighborhood and easy access to the free trolley

Don’t move to deep Ellum. There are going to be budget apartments in these neighborhoods but they do skew more expensive. You may find some better luck near farmers market
