Here is a reply that I sent to a different parent on the same subject:

My daughter has lived off campus for 3 years, and here are a few observations:
University Trails (10th & W) is a bit pricey, but the apartments are safe and clean.
University Fountains (Mac Davis & V) is definitely a thumbs down. The security gates are often non-functioning, and this leads to auto break-ins. I have heard of 3 so far this semester. I have also heard that the office staff is quite unaccommodating/unhelpful. I recommend staying away.
Raiders Walk (3rd & Boston) has a good staff, and it is secure, but the apartments are older. Stay away from building 7 due to the frequent sewer backups. Of the 6 football weekends that I came to visit this past Fall, there were sewage backups on 5 of them. This Spring, the backups have been less frequent.

In general, as you move North from 10th Street, you get into seedier areas. The same goes for moving East from University. All 3 of the apartments I referenced above are 99.9% student tenants.

The campus area apartments are (mostly) all on the shuttle bus lines, so it makes having access to a car less imperative than living in a house off campus.

I hope that this helps.
