There is hardly anything to complain about the village apartments considering the value that you get for the price you pay for your stay. The management has never been rude or not-helpful to me for all the time I've shown up at their office with problems or service requests, they have their own patrol service going for rounds in the premises which you can call to pick you up if you feel unsafe to go out at night.
It's very serene neighborhood with lots of greenery, well maintained lawns, ponds, swimming pools and regular social events conducted by the management to which they invite all the residents to. It's also very close to many major grocery stores with bus services going there(Tom Thumb, Central market, Krogers and Walmart to name a few). The only drawback being that the apartments are quite "unfurnished" compared to other rental properties in an American scenario. But hey, why complain when you pay almost half the rent(or even lesser) compared to other options out there?
Also all my service requests have been promptly attented to so far whether I made them online or at their office. One thing I really appreciate about them is that they make you free duplicate keys to your apartment if you ever end up losing yours.
It's a couple of miles away from SMU, which is not that far but a bit away from the university, but you have that covered too as the free bus service of SMU runs through the village.
One more tip for international renters, keep enough money to pay one month of rental money as a refundable deposit apart from the rent that you'll have to pay, since they ask for it from renters who do not have a credit history in united states(after running a credit check on your name). Which is fair considering they do not have any other information on us to trust us.

My experience in the neighborhood has been great! There are people of all ages! It is a walk-able neighborhood which I enjoy!

My driving commute to school is only 10 minutes.

The Village as a community is very connected and there are many ways to become involved

I feel ok. We've had a few posted incidents though so I can't say it's perfect.

Sometimes there is a neighbor playing guitar till midnight.
