Living in Deep Ellum

If you’ve been to a concert in Dallas, chances are you’ve been to Deep Ellum! And listen, we might be biased since our office resides here, but just east of Downtown is where it’s at! Deep Ellum is known for its vibrant nightlife, good eats, and live music scene. With several music venues in this neighborhood, we’d bet money on your favorite “small” artist performing at The Factory or Dada before blowing up on TikTok. 

Deep Ellum’s residential scene is diverse from mid-rises to high-rises to those sick lofts you can see as you’re driving into the city from I-30. Renters looking for exposed brick/ductwork, concrete floors, and tons of character in their next apartments usually end up here! 

If a part of the city never slept, it would without a doubt go to Deep Ellum, whether you’re catching a show at The Comedy Club or bar-hopping from Elm Street to Good-Latimer. It’s also home to some of the best happy hour deals, which we’d like to gatekeep… but definitely check out Palma, Deep Sushi, and Hawkers. Other favorites that might not be the most popular spots but will for sure make it into your go-to lists are Oni Ramen, Culpepper Cattle Co., and Taqueria El Arquito. 

There’s also no need to call an Uber or a Lyft when the walk score here is a 76, making it one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city. Main and Elm street are not only packed with people and menus, but also second-hand thrift stores and murals around every corner.

Deep Ellum is unapologetically loud, if you’re into that type of edginess, while also having a notoriously frustrating parking situation. If you want to live in the city’s energy hub, crave easy access to cold brews and beers, and think a night out until 2 a.m. makes the best story, then Deep Ellum might just be your place.
