Neighborhood Guides

Dallas is a city of neighborhoods—and knowing the difference between them matters.

One street can feel entirely different from the next, and finding the right neighborhood is about much more than a ZIP code. After nearly two decades helping clients buy and sell across Dallas, I’ve learned that the right place is the one that fits the way you truly want to live. Explore a few of my favorite Dallas neighborhoods below.

Preston Hollow

An old section of Northern Dallas with winding boulevards and large lots surrounded by creeks and woods.

Lakewood

Expect bikers to wave to you from the streets as they get their daily ride in amongst the neighborhood’s abundant greenery.

Uptown

An upscale neighborhood where the sidewalks are filled with a diverse population of people working, playing, and exercising.

Bluffview

Founded in 1924 on the former Bluffview Dairy site, it is known for its cliffs overhanging the Bachman Branch and its various creeks.

University Park

University Park began as a cluster of homes surrounding Southern Methodist University and was founded in 1915.

Midway Hollow

Developed in 1945 by Clint Murchison, Sr. and Ebby Halliday, this is still home to those looking for more affordable housing next to Preston Hollow.

Highland Park

Established in 1889, Highland Park was once rated the most affluent city in Texas. John Armstrong named the town for its high land that overlooked Downtown Dallas.

Design District

Over the past 40 years, it has transformed from an industrial graveyard to a vibrant trade-focused urban neighborhood.

Devonshire

For those wanting walkability, this bustling neighborhood has endless options for travel by foot from grocery stores and restaurants to high-end shopping.

Plano

Known for its parks, shopping, and recreational facilities, as well as its high ranking school systems and dining experiences. Plano has consistently been considered a great place to live and work.

McKinney

Fields and farmland are harder to come by but McKinney is known for its world class master planned communities. Excellent schools with a small town feel.

North Dallas

North Dallas features bigger yards and homes. Children are able to attend the exemplary schools of Plano and Richardson. Home to the Galleria for shopping and restaurant row on Belt Line, one can immerse themselves in excellent shopping and dining.

Frisco

Future home of the PGA, and voted the best place to live in 2020, this City is growing rapidly. Gorgeous master-planned communities, Blue Ribbon schools, and miles of parks and trails make Frisco a perfect fit for many.

East Dallas

From historic Swiss Ave with grand homes built in the 1900s to the Tudors of the M Streets, East Dallas encompasses all ranges of prices and styles of homes.

Oak Cliff

As one of the oldest neighborhoods in Dallas, Oak Cliff is known for its charming craftsman, mid-century modern and contemporary style homes, rolling hills, and tree-lined streets.
