Like the other dudes have been saying: Addison is super nice, Plano, Irving...University Park is
but probably out of your price range...Don't get me wrong, 75219 is a very nice, upscale zip code...but it's filled with fakkits

whats the rate for a apt for university park? I can go up if its worth it. im tryna stack bread so thats y i settled at 1200. I could realistically do 1600 and still live comfortably.
i heard plano was outside of the city. And again im lookin to stay in the city

1600 might get you a 1BR. Keyword "might"
You should check out Greenville Ave, too. That area is full of bars and restaurants and whatnot

Uptown is a nice clean spot though. Don't know if I could live there but the women I saw that day were
. Might have to check out the bar scene tomorrow 
I've been doing more research online and it seems like most of the black people are in the suburbs, Addison, Plano, etc.

hit me up on a pm. i'll come pick you up and i'll show you some apartments around the city
Just found out I wont be out there til like August-September timeframe. But i'll keep that in mind
Have you looked at North Oak Cliff? It is an area that is being gentrified and has a lot of unique restaurants. I say that because when most people say or hear Oak Cliff they automatically think the hood. Also check out the medical district by Parkland and Children's hospital off of Medical District Drive and Maple Avenue. They just built a new Kroger on the corner there and it is close to all the major highways.....75,Tollway, 30, and 35. Addison is 10-15 mins away, Uptown is 5, Mckinney is about 30. I used to live in that area. Now in Mckinney....can't wait to get back in that area and out these damn burbs...
If you are working near Lancaster, no way I would live in Addison. That would be like an hour commute on a decent day. If you want a house, don't be afraid of the southern burbs like Lancaster, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, or even Grand Prairie. Even Mesquite and Garland. Those places mentioned are called the "black burbs" by some. You'll never see people recommend them on a site like City-Data because they think anything south of Plano is poor and ghetto even though the wealthiest parts of the city are south of Plano.
Based on what you said I would recommend:
Uptown - closest we have to something East Coast. 1200 would be decent for rent. Lots of nightlife you can walk to. Has a subway stop and a streetcar that runs through. Womenz of all races everywhere. Katy Trail(elevated running trail) runs right through there. American Airlines Center is right next to it. Downtown is right next to it. Best Hotels are next to it in Turtle Creek(ritzy high rise and mansion area), Highland Park is next to it. Knox-Henderson is next to it(another nightlife area). Less for your money though. Always new projects going up to keep the prices at bay.
- downtown(some decent places that would surprise most that even live in Dallas), You could get more for your money downtown. Not as nice as Uptown, but lots of new renovations. Close to Uptown and lots of clubs and venues on Main and Elm as well as the West End. Really slept on by most in our area.
Knox/Henderson - This area is just north of Uptown, so its a little more chill. Lots of nightlife though. Way underrated by those that don't know Dallas. This is the area around Knox Street which is west of Central Expressway and Henderson St(same street but changes name east of Central Expressway) Cheaper than Uptown and a little more neighborhoody. Lots of townhomes and apartments. Lots of restaurants and little clubs. And Henderson runs right into Lower Greenville which is a similar place.
- Old East Dallas/Lakewood - Another area that's often overlooked. This is where I live. Nice mix of hood, middle class and wealthy all in the same area. Pretty chill area. Lots of young people in the older, renovated apartment complexes to the east and newer complexes to the west. The Lakewood neighborhood is in the center of this and is where lower Greenville and Knox-Henderson meet, so lots of nightlife, diversity and is more quiet than the others. Easy to get to the other parts of town to.
- North Oak Cliff - . Its always been kinda hood with a wealthy area sitting in the middle. Now the parts close to the wealthy area are gentrifying and apartments are starting to go up. Some decent neighborhood type nightlife. Similar to Knox-Henderson but across the river from downtown and smaller. Look near Methodist Hospital or Bishop Arts where most of the development
- The Village - If you are younger and don't mind something a little more suburban, The Village is a big area of apartment complexes north and west of SMU. Very few black people there, but its a great location and you could live like a king. Close to NorthPark(biggest, most popular mall here), Upper Greenville(suburban nightlife area), and 10 minutes from those other areas mentioned. Only downside is students like to live there too. But probably the best daily sightseeing unless you live in the West Village area of Uptown.
- Farmers Market/Deep Ellum - This area is often forgotten, but is right next to downtown. Deep Ellum is not great these days, but its not bad. Most people live in the northern part of this area or to the south in the Farmers Market. Lots of apartments. Lots of young people. Close to everything.
Long yes, but probably worth a read since you don't know the area. Just avoid the Nawf(northeast Dallas mainly around Skillman and Audelia Rds) South Oak Cliff (Dallas nearest the DeSoto/Lancaster/Cedar Hill)and South Dallas which is the area just south of downtown and east Dallas).
