I love living here. 5 Mockingbird is a great location to campus. It takes me about 5-7 minutes to get to class everyday so I get to go home for lunch! My apartment is nice and recently renovated. The staff is great and I have not had any issues. I feel very safe at my apartment.

This apartment is cheap compared to other complexes close to SMU. But thats not because its some hidden gem. It is large and pretty old. It has been refurbished but still has some issues. As a result, lower rent. I take that trade off. It has most or maybe all of the amenities of other complexes and the staff is helpful. Overall what you see is what you get, an average rent for an average apartment. Its next to the dart station which is occasionally convenient but maybe attracts some unwanted individuals into the area. Being able to walk to Kroger is the best.

Great Apartment, near campus and easy access to SMU. Managers are easy to work with and living there is easy. Further from other students and off campus events than I would like.

The apartment is great, neighbors are great, the location is great. The management is not exactly responsive or helpful though. I wouldn't say that they're terrible, but they're not great.

The Phoenix is a very popular building for SMU students, but there is a surprising number of families and ethnic people here. I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't an SMU student just because it gets loud and people have parties and stuff. This one time, I was walking to a friend's on a different floor, I walked into the wrong apartment, but they invited me to hang out there for a while anyway. People here are either super friendly, or are super weird and I feel like they're going to murder me. It's sketchy, but everyone seems to be fine with it because it's close to SMU. Also there's a Kroger across the street so that's good.
