Which Village Dallas communities should a recent Aggie grad consider first?

Quick answer

Grant Bynum’s preferred five are Westside, Dakota, Northbridge, Upper East Side and The Drey. Westside is his value starting point; Dakota combines value with gated access and some garage options; Northbridge is a strong overall balance near the central Village activity; Upper East Side is more upscale and socially connected; and The Drey, built in 2021, is the premium modern option at the heart of the newer Village experience. Current rents can change by unit, lease term and move-in date, so the best choice should be based on live availability rather than the community name alone.
