| Neighborhoods and Communities |
—Deep Ellum
It is no coincidence that this tight-knit warehouse district has developed into an arty part of town. Deep Ellum has its roots in the 1920s jazz and blues scene and before that it had the moniker “Freedman’s town” because of the black community that settled there after the Civil War. Today the previously seedy area located in the east corridor of Downtown Dallas is rich in eclectic entertainment as influxes of diverse professionals settle in the trendy lofts and turn an evening outing into a way of life.
—Downtown
Bounded by northern I-45, I-35E, I-30 and the Woodall Rodger Freeway, the area that encircles Downtown Dallas is also called the Central Business District. After a brief slump in the 1990s, Downtown has emerged regenerated and reinvigorated, ready to do business and welcome residents. Older historic buildings are being renovated as urban lofts, which are often occupied by the young professional or the empty-nesters.
—Greenville Avenue
Located east of University Park and Highland Park, the Greenville Avenue locale is split into two parts, Lower Greenville Avenue on the south and Upper Greenville Avenue to the north. Centrally located between both Lower and Upper Greenville Avenue is the Dallas Area Transit Station ready to shuttle you off to almost any part of the city. Many nightlife, dining, and shopping selections can be reached within walking distance.
—Lake Highlands
Located in the northeast portion of the city, Lake Highlands is a cozy and mostly residential neighborhood with a rolling terrain. Lake Highlands receives Dallas city services but enjoys many perks of being positioned on the perimeter such as easy access to White Rock Lake and admission to Richardson Independent School District.
—Lakewood
Lakewood has a wide variety of housing options for young professionals and new families in the market for a starter home or apartment as well as early 1900s homes of varied architectural styles for higher income inhabitants. About 2,900 people reside in Lakewood, which partly nestles up to White Rock Lake and is home to the Lakewood Country Club.
—M-Streets
This old East Dallas subdivision is named for the collection of streets beginning with the letter “m”– McCommas Boulevard, Morningside Drive, Mercedes Avenue, Merimac Avenue and Monticello Avenue. Fluctuation in the area has created a diverse range of people, housing and lifestyles which means there is something for everyone. You will find trendy retail stores and amazing Tudor style homes.
—Knox-Henderson
Near Southern Methodist University, the Knox-Henderson area is named for the streets which cross Central Expressway just north of Downtown Dallas. The boutiques and restaurants are hip, trendy, charming and cater to the urbanities that live in the refurbished townhomes and condos.
—Oak Cliff
The beauty of Oak Cliff is due in part to being a more established neighborhood which has mature trees to shade the streets, and a conservation league to maintain the areas splendor. Oak Cliff is approximately 200 square miles and only 9 short miles from Downtown Dallas.
—Oak Lawn
Perhaps one of the earliest Dallas areas to create a mixed-use space, Oak Lawn is home to apartments, condos and single-family residences which coexist next to retailers and eateries. Home to the Dallas Theatre Center, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, many artists live and work in the area.
—Park Cities
This upscale neighborhood, comprised of Highland Park and University Park, was designed by the same landscape architect who laid out Beverly Hills, California. With its posh homes, chic retailers, and extravagant dining options, Park Cities is renowned as a very desirable place to live. Highland Park ISD serves the students of this area and is a top-ranked public school.
—Preston Hollow
Once incorporated as its own town, Preston Hollow is now an established 60 plus year old neighborhood of Dallas. The woods and hollows which is its namesake, lends to large lots and a rural feeling within the grand estates. This very exclusive community is desirable to the wealthy and influential, just ask the couple who moved here a few years ago, former President and First Lady, George and Laura Bush.
—Turtle Creek
The beautiful winding road that is Turtle Creek Boulevard has become one of Dallas’ crown jewels and the corridor as a whole offers striking homes, lavish high-rises, and lush green space. Most notably, the area includes The Mansion on Turtle Creek, a five-start iconic Dallas hotel. With an endorsement from Frank Lloyd Wright as “one of the most beautiful boulevards in the country” it is no wonder why civic pride has continued to maintain the integrity of the area.
—Uptown/West Village
A combination of historic homes and newly constructed high-rise properties gives Uptown a very stylish and unique aesthetic. This pedestrian friendly neighborhood has scores of art galleries and restaurants as well as notable hotels like The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. A vintage trolley along McKinney Avenue is provided for use at no charge. At the north end of Uptown is West Village, a residential/retail development with high-rise units for sale or lease.
