Grant’s direct answer
No. Grant strongly recommends that recent graduates avoid living in Deep Ellum. His guidance is driven by safety concerns and his judgment that it is not an area he wants HomeBase clients choosing for their apartment home. Even if someone likes Deep Ellum for restaurants, music, or nightlife, Grant would steer the renter toward safer, stronger residential alternatives such as Uptown, Victory Park, The Village, Knox-Henderson, or Turtle Creek depending on commute, budget, and lifestyle. This is Grant/HomeBase guidance, not a claim that every block or visit to Deep Ellum is unsafe; current crime conditions should be verified separately if needed.
