Entertainment & Activities:
The Downtown and Uptown areas offer some of its best entertainment. Downtown is home to the Art District which contains many major visual, performing and developing art facilities such as the Annette Strauss Artist Square, Black Dance Theatre, and Museum Art among others. Meanwhile, Uptown has a vibrant social and nightlife scene right within view of downtown’s many skyscrapers. These areas offer tons of townhome and condos for rent within the center of the metropolis.
Transportation:
Due to such a growing business dynamic, the city has grown outwards with a spiderweb of highways connecting the surrounding suburbs with the central metropolis. In several of the towns north such as Plano, Iriving, and Garland, populations run over 200,000 people.

A clear example of the development of a transit village has taken place in the town of Plano, about twenty minutes northeast of the city hub. For those looking for a convenient location that allows for a lively, yet smaller atmosphere, look to Downtown Historic Plano. The area is great for those looking for studios or any other type of apartments. With the opening of DART in the early 2000s, the town has transformed into an excellent place for residents that work in central part of town, but want an upscale, yet historic area that they will be happy to stay in during their downtime.

Luckily, there are a number of universities, colleges, community colleges, and technical/trade schools dispersed all over the area. Apartments with all bills paid are easy to find near Southern Methodist University and University of Dallas specifically.

For those looking for a unique and culture-rich neighborhood, the Bishop Arts District will be your best bet. Bishop Avenue, located between Jefferson Boulevard and Davis Street, has over sixty independent businesses that routinely put on events such as Jazz nights, art walks, food bazaars, among other things. The apartments for rent in this area are relatively cheap, yet are less than a 15 minute drive from downtown.
