“Go with care. The Bellmar corridor offers convenient access to North Central Expressway and nearby shopping centers, but it has elevated rates of property crime and occasional violent incidents typical of dense multi-family pockets in this part of Dallas. Visitors should stay aware of their surroundings, particularly after dark, and keep vehicles secured.”
