HomeBase’s quick answer
Start with Southern Uptown and Victory Park. Houlihan Lokey’s Dallas office is at The Link at Uptown, 2601 Olive Street, Suite 2500, Dallas, TX 75201. Those two neighborhoods give you the clearest comparison between a short walk to work and the kind of evenings you want. Add Turtle Creek for a quieter setting or Knox for Katy Trail access and neighborhood restaurants.

The Link at Uptown sits where Uptown, Victory Park, and Downtown meet. Use 2601 Olive Street, Suite 2500 when testing a commute. If your role takes you to clients, map those trips separately. Houlihan Lokey’s office directory · The Link at Uptown
Which Dallas neighborhoods should you tour?
| Neighborhood | Why start here | What to test |
|---|---|---|
| Southern Uptown | An easy office walk with coffee, dining, and errands nearby | Walk the exact route from the unit after work and check the street noise |
| Victory Park | High-rise apartments, a walk to work, and arena events nearby | Check parking access on a game night and how late the nearby places you use stay open |
| Turtle Creek | Tree-lined streets and a quieter home base | Test the office route and see which grocery and dinner trips you can make on foot |
| Knox | Katy Trail access and a neighborhood routine with restaurants and shops | Try the trip to Olive Street at your actual work hours |
| The Village | A residential community to compare if you plan to drive | Price the all-in rent, parking, and time in the car together |
If you expect frequent office days or late evenings, prioritize a route you would be comfortable taking regularly. If you can be flexible about office days, compare the extra travel time with the apartment, outdoor space, and social routine you get in exchange.
How do you compare apartments for a busy workweek?
Ask the property to quote the actual unit and lease term. Compare base rent, parking, required monthly fees, utilities, concessions, and move-in charges. Verify when a concession applies and what you will pay during a regular month.
At the tour, check the light and sound in the unit, desk space, package pickup hours, elevator access, and the route between the garage and your apartment. If you plan to use rail, test the station walk and late-day service before you rely on it. If you drive to clients, include parking and tolls in your budget.
What should a one-day Dallas apartment tour look like?
- Start at The Link. Tour two Southern Uptown apartments and walk the route to Olive Street.
- Compare Victory Park. Walk to the office from the second area, then check the garage entrance and event traffic.
- Try one lifestyle alternative. Choose Turtle Creek for a calmer evening or Knox for the trail and neighborhood dining.
- Get a written quote. Confirm the actual unit, move-in date, recurring charges, and parking. If you’re moving remotely, ask for a live walkthrough of the unit and building entrance.

The Village’s frequent community events make social activity unusually accessible for a newcomer. Uptown and Victory Park are closer to work and still offer strong young-professional environments.
