Deep Ellum was Dallas's original jazz and blues district in the 1920s and is once again its creative heart — 30+ live-music venues, dozens of murals, breweries, and some of the best barbecue in Texas. It sits directly east of downtown with its own DART Green Line station.
The apartment boom here is recent: most communities are 2016 or newer, ranging from true warehouse lofts to amenity-rich mid-rises. The East Quarter development is knitting the neighborhood into downtown with new towers and restaurants.
Deep Ellum is perfect for renters who want energy and character without Uptown pricing. Baylor University Medical Center is walkable, making it a favorite for nurses and residents. We'll steer you toward the quieter blocks if you want the vibe without the late-night noise.
Deep Ellum one-bedrooms run $1,400-$2,200 and two-bedrooms $2,000-$2,800 — roughly 15% less than Uptown for comparable new construction.
The Main/Elm/Commerce core is lively until 2am on weekends. Communities a few blocks toward Baylor, Exposition Park or the East Quarter are noticeably quieter — we know which buildings and which sides face away from the venues.
Yes, several newer communities sit within a 5-10 minute walk of Baylor Scott & White, and the Baylor DART station is adjacent. Deep Ellum is one of the most popular areas for hospital staff.
Downtown is a 5-minute walk or one DART Green Line stop. Uptown is a 5-minute drive or a short rideshare; the Katy Trail extension is also planned to connect the neighborhoods.
Yes. Deep Ellum is one of our core service areas. Our licensed agents tour Deep Ellum communities weekly, know current specials, and our service is 100% free to renters — plus every client receives an Exclusive Move-In Rebate.

Deep Ellum mixes converted warehouse lofts with exposed brick and concrete, newer mid-rises along Commerce, Main and Canton Streets, and a few high-rises on the edge toward Downtown. Studios and lofts are common, and many buildings have ground-floor retail, murals and live-work spaces.
One-bedrooms typically run $1,500-$2,200 and two-bedrooms $2,100-$3,000, with converted lofts at the higher end for the character. Newer mid-rises with rooftop pools land around $1,800-$2,400 before lease-up specials.
Yes. The Deep Ellum and Baylor University Medical Center DART Green Line stations sit in the neighborhood, Downtown is a 10-minute walk, and the Santa Fe Trail starts here and runs to White Rock Lake. Groceries are the gap — the nearest full-size stores are in Downtown and East Dallas, though several buildings have small markets.
Blocks along Elm, Main and Commerce between Good-Latimer and Hall are the live-music core and stay lively into the early morning on weekends. Buildings on the east side near Exposition Park, along Canton Street or toward the Baylor campus are noticeably quieter. We will tell you block by block which buildings face the venues.
New mid-rises along Canton and Commerce run four to eight weeks free during lease-up, and loft buildings often waive admin fees or offer reduced deposits. Specials shift weekly; we confirm the day you tour, and every client receives our Exclusive Move-In Rebate.
Newer mid-rises include gated garages at $50-$100 a month (some include the first space). Loft conversions vary — a few have surface lots, others rely on nearby paid lots. Street parking is metered and competitive on weekend nights, so we always confirm your parking situation before you sign.
Downtown Dallas is a 10-minute walk or one DART stop. Baylor University Medical Center is inside the neighborhood on its east edge. Fair Park is 5 minutes by car or two Green Line stops. Uptown is a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride via the Katy Trail connector.
Most buildings accept dogs and cats with $300-$500 deposits and $25-$40 monthly pet rent; loft conversions sometimes have weight limits. The Santa Fe Trail and Exposition Park green spaces are the dog-walking spots, and newer buildings include dog runs and wash stations.
Rent figures are asking rents observed by our agents and change weekly. DFW Apartment Locators complies with the Fair Housing Act and TREC rules; we describe housing, amenities and locations only, never who lives in an area.
