Brief History – Upper Greenville / SMU Area
The Upper Greenville/North Dallas corridor grew rapidly in the mid-20th century as Dallas expanded north along US-75. What started as a suburban edge of the city became a major residential and retail hub, especially after large shopping centers and multi-story apartment communities began filling in the land around Greenville Avenue and NorthPark Center.
With SMU nearby, the area has always had a strong student and young-professional presence, but recent years have brought more mixed-use developments, modern apartments, and upgraded amenities. Today, Upper Greenville blends older, established neighborhoods with newer, urban-style communities, giving second-chance renters access to a well-connected, in-demand part of Dallas that used to be out of reach if you had rental history issues.
