I will echo the "WHATEVER YOU DO, *DON'T* LIVE DOWNTOWN!!!!" sentiments. Too much crime, and way too scary!
There are a ton of nice places (and nice neighborhoods!) north of Dallas or in the surrounding area.
If you're not really sure what kind of neighborhood the apartment of your dreams is, I would recommend calling the Dallas PD and give them the street name or zip code the apartment is in and they can give you the crime stats within a 5-mile radius. (I think some PDs have that info on their website even).
