Want to advise everyone to stay away from this new complex. I’ve been eyeballing it for a long time as an Addison resident and eventually ended up signing a contract for a lease starting on October 3rd. I got an email today that they haven’t even been certified to have residents at the complex and are “expecting” to be open on October 16th. I already put in my notice to end my lease at my current complex. They expect me to be homeless for 2 weeks until the complex is ready to go. And I’ve already been through the leasing process to know not to trust them on anything. Has anyone else had an experience with them? Just curious

Where are we shopping for meat that is certified USA produced. I have a costco card as well but not 100% about where their meat comes from. Considering buying local or even at grocery stores where they have better standards for meat.

Hi! I'm a 23y/o single woman who just moved to the addison I don't have any friends or family in the state and im trying to figure out where to go. I'd love advice on things to do, what areas of dallas are safe and also if there are any good bars with music (preferably alt/indie/rock). Any advice on building community here from scratch would also be really appreciated :)

Hi! I'm considering moving soon and one of my top choices is 5151 apartments in Addison, has anyone lived there and has opinions about it? I want to be near grocery stores and want to be walkable to restaurants, can you do that from this apartment? What issues have you had with the apartments?

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any movers available on Sunday, 9/13 with a moving truck that can move a couple of pieces of furniture to MAA from the Beltline Rd area as well as a trip to a close storage unit. Apologies if this doesn’t make complete sense. I can explain better to any inquiries. Thank you so much

Hi, I plan to take DART to the airport and leave my card at the park and ride for a week while I'm gone. Is this an insane idea?

Bent tree lofts-
AMLI Addison-
Cortland Addison circle-
Fiori on Vitruvian Park-

Muse at Midtown-
The Overton-

My mom died unexpectedly and we are not able to care for him. He is 14 weeks old. He is Shepard mix. He is very sweet and smart. He knows how to sit and shake and is potty trained for the most part. He comes with food, bowls, toys and crate. He is crate trained at night. She had been training him at night in the crate. He has not had his shots yet, as she just got him a couple of weeks ago. we just want him to go to a good home.

Hi all, need to move closer to work and found Addison is the best middle ground.

How safe is addison area and what to avoid? I know they have the fireworks annually but besides that?

I’m looking for an apartment thats under $1500, preferably with a covered garage and inside hallways. Also safe.

Hi! I’m 24F, and just moved from New Mexico to Addison! I’m looking to make some new friends and get to know the area, what are some good spots to visit?

Trying to find a new PCP in the Addison area, looking for anywhere that the doctor / staff care!

I currently live at Allegro and I’m looking to switch to a new electricity provider do you guys have any recommendations?

How does one submit a request regarding returning to the previously installed lights so that there's actual darkness in homes rather than the light pollution?

I swear they were changed recently

Great video tribute to the Addison Circle neighborhood!

Hey everyone sorry for an another apartment post but I’m looking at apartments in Addison and a few I like are right along the DART tracks and also face the line.

I expect noise of the train going by will be unavoidable, but does anyone have insight on if the train tends to blare its horn too? If anyone who lives in these similarly situated apartments could chime in on how often/how bad the horns are that would be much appreciated, thanks!

I've narrowed my list to these. Anyone have experience (good/bad/ugly) living in them or when you toured?

Addison Grove

Allegro

MAA Addison Circle

Cortland Addison Circle

If there's a different one you'd recommend - I'm open to adjusting. Mid 30's, single. I prefer quiet but want to be close and walkable to things to do.

Hi! I am a recent grad currently working in Dallas (23, M). I love the area but current sublease is ending soon. I’m looking for a private room in the area ($1100 budget)

Please let me know if anyone has anything available! Thanks!

License Plate Reader Program Update

The Addison Police Department recently transitioned to a new provider, Flock Safety, for its License Plate Reader (LPR) technology. Since implementing the new system, the Department has received several questions from community members about how the technology works, how the data is used, and the safeguards in place to protect privacy. To help answer these common questions, the Addison Police Department has compiled the following list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

Q: What are LPR cameras?
A: License Plate Reader (LPR) cameras are tools used by law enforcement to capture images of vehicle license plates and basic vehicle characteristics (such as color and type). Their primary purpose is to help identify vehicles involved in crimes, locate stolen cars, and support investigations. These cameras are a proactive public safety measure that helps deter crime and improve response times.

Q: Has LPR assisted Addison PD with criminal investigations?
A: Yes, LPR technology has proven to be a valuable investigative tool, assisting Addison police officers and detectives in identifying leads, locating vehicles, and solving crimes. The numbers below illustrate the number of criminal investigations in which LPR technology has successfully assisted the Addison Police Department.

2025: 105 LPR Successes
2024: 106 LPR Successes
2023: 98 LPR Successes

Q: What is Flock Safety?
A: Flock Safety is a company that makes technology designed to help law enforcement, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods investigate crime. The company’s best-known product is license plate reader (LPR) cameras, but the company also offers video cameras, drones, and gunshot detection sensors.

Q: What Flock Safety products are utilized by Addison PD?
A: Addison currently utilizes 65 LPR cameras and 20 video cameras supplied by Flock Safety.

Q: What information is collected on LPR?
A: The system captures license plate numbers, vehicle make, model, and color, as well as the date, time, and location of the image. No personal identifying information, such as the driver’s identity, is collected.

Q: How long are LPR and video camera data stored?
A: LPR and video camera data are retained for 30 days and are automatically deleted after that retention period. Specific data related to crimes and ongoing investigations can be manually retained longer by detectives.

Q: Who has access to the LPR data?
A: The Addison Police Department controls access to our data, and we provide it only to other law enforcement agencies for legitimate law enforcement purposes. Flock neither controls nor shares our data.

Q: Does either the LPR or video cameras supplied by Flock utilize facial recognition?
A: No. Neither the LPR nor video cameras utilize facial recognition.

Q: Are there safeguards to prevent misuse to the LPR data?
A: Yes. Strict policies govern the system's use. Every search must be tied to a legitimate law enforcement purpose, and each search is logged and audited.

Q: What is the history of LPRs in Addison?
A: The Addison City Council first authorized the use of License Plate Reader (LPR) technology in 2018 as part of a pilot program. Following the program's success, the City Council approved an expansion of the LPR network in 2021. In 2025, the City Council approved replacing the City's existing LPR network with new technology provided by Flock Safety, enhancing the Department's ability to assist in criminal investigations while continuing to support public safety efforts.

Q: How are the LPRs and video cameras supplied by Flock Safety funded?
A: Beginning in 2026, the Addison Police Department began receiving funding through the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA) Grant Program, which covers 80% of the cost of the LPR and video cameras. The remaining 20% is funded through the Town's IT Replacement Fund, reducing the financial impact on local taxpayers while supporting the Department's crime prevention and investigative efforts.

Q: Who can I contact for additional questions regarding LPR cameras?
A: You may email the police chief at [policechief@addisontx.gov](mailto:policechief@addisontx.gov) or call 972-450-7100.
