 | Dallas Areas to Avoid / Crime Reviews | 21 - 30 of 33 |  |
I read a something on here saying Oak Cliff was a nice surprise, and I need to point out something, the writter who said this was close and around Bishops arts district which alot of white or calcasion people go and they come from North Dallas. Outside of Bishops maybe 5 or 6 miles back into Oak Cliff is what some people call ghetto where I live, the drug dealing goes on and on even if you lock your car you can come back without rims. There is gang activity/violence in this area, and I have been robbed 4 times and have be assulted 3 by gangs. Leave a Comment

I was in Dallas in Feb. 09. After reading of all the DANGERS in south Dallas, I had to check it out. I think these warnings are written by small town people who have never been to a big city that has actual ghettos. The areas that are so dangerous appear to be your average working class neighborhoods. There are more minorities in the southern sector of the city. I think they are associating skin color with crime and danger. I am a white geeky male and I had no problems in south Dallas. Oak Cliff was actually a pleasant surprise. The English tudor homes are beautiful, and the Bishops Arts District was very nice also.
If you guys (those who post the DANGERS of south Dallas) want to see real ghettos, try the Detroit area.
I never really saw anything that is bad as these guys posted. I was also suprised at how clean Dallas is. Have a lovely! Leave a Comment

If I could give anyone moving to Dallas a tip, just don't live in an apartment. This is an extremely dangerous city and apartments are the most dangerous part, especially at night. Also don't joke yourself into thinking your in a good area, apartments are like little islands of hell and as soon as you step onto that property, the demographics drastically change. If you wan't the urban experience, move to New York, Dallas is just not the city for that, you will be around lots of crime and thug lowlifes, trust me on this move to the suburbs.

If you go to South Dallas and you stand out at all you might find yourself shot or carjacked or raped. Even the folks in South Dallas keep their eyes peeled because things go down so fast in S. Dallas. You have lots of gangs and lots of drugs there. West Dallas has some cool parts and good off the beaten track restaurants but again, it's a heavy crime area. If you look like you can't handle yourself in a fight etc, you might get taken and I have seen it happen right out on the street in the broad daylight.
Lastly, the Dallas Police Dept. Look people, Dallas is a deep southern city, this means just like New Orleans and other deep southern cities they do things a bit differently. They may take some freedoms with your so-called rights if you will. Yes sir and no sir are the only answers I would advise, any other answers may get you arrested for little or nothing or worse, have seen it happen. So know where you're at and mind the law.

South of Fair Park/Downtown is one of the most dangerous areas in the city, though there are pockets that are fantastic. For the average tourist, I would suggest avoiding it entirely just to be safe. Leave a Comment

Watch your front and back when leaving on south east side. They approached on front of sidewalk at parking lot face to face staring heavily. I had 2 elderly females, 1 middle age male and a middle age female with a child. They walked past, then turned around and followed. Lucky the car was close. I went to the passengers right side, bent down like to get something off the tire and at the same time reached in my sock. It saved our lives, 5 feet behind us. I looked up at of the perps when in the sock, huge eyes staring at me and they took off. Very scary. Beware and good luck. Leave a Comment

Western Park in Southwest Oak Cliff is TRUELY the wrong side of the tracks. It is across some railroad tracks that rarely run, but is very loud. Every block has a gang, like the 4000 blocks for example. Their name is the 4000 Blokk O.Gs. It is the 2nd worst area in Dallas. It is predominantly Latino. Stay out of South Dallas, also. It is a predominantly African-American neighborhood, and is the worst place in Dallas. West Dallas, also, it is 3rd on the list. Highland Park isn't dangerous but, the police harass and use foul language towards minorities. A very racist area. Leave a Comment

When in Downtown at night, be aware of your surroundings. It's a great place, but can be dangerous.

look this is the real scoop bump all that other stuff. do not go thru south dallas period. be careful in west dallas all through rupert circle, westmoreland , hampton , singleton, bernal and any other place in west dallas. and right across the trinity in the north west behind st paul hospital is a area called arlington park a little neighboorhood but dont wander around there anytime. its dangerous there are a lot of youngsters that dont care about anything. webb chapel is another place like that dont go. oak lawn has some crime but not as bad as arlington park or webb chapel trust me. oak cliff dont go there nothing but hoodlums. east dallas is nortorius for blood gang activity i wouldnt even live there. downtown is the place where all the fun is and youll have a great time especally around the deep ellum area that area is great for nightlife. and north dallas is pretty tranquil nothing much happends out there thats about it
