Apartment complexes in Cedar Crest: ranked picks
Cedar Crest sits close to Downtown and Bishop Arts with quick highway access, but it's a neighborhood where block-by-block conditions vary a lot, so the complex you pick matters as much as the price. The rankings below come from our methodology, weighing rating, review volume, recency, and sentiment together rather than star rating alone.
Expect a mix of older garden-style complexes and newer builds near the DART Morrell Station. Several properties here lean on strong leasing staff to offset rougher edges like security gaps, pest issues, or construction noise from nearby downtown projects, so it's worth reading what current residents say about maintenance and safety before touring.
