Farmland was neatly subdivided in the 1910s and 1920s to create a few of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. The M Streets (also known as Greenland Hills) and Vickery Place have established conservation districts to preserve the tidy Tudors and Craftsman cottages that give the area its signature historic charm. While an easy six-mile commute to downtown, the Forest Hills and Casa Linda neighborhoods maintain a countryside feel with large lot sizes and mature trees. The sense of community among residents is a hallmark of the neighborhood and its location nestled along the southern end of White Rock Lake attracts many new residents each year.

AROUND THE BLOCK

One of Dallas’s first neighborhoods is still one of the most desired.

Interest in this humble, hilly neighborhood has spiked in recent years. Its streets lined with cozy, well-crafted homes appeal to young professionals, new and established families, and empty nesters alike who also want the added benefits of being close to downtown and surrounded by the city’s major thoroughfares.

THE LIFESTYLE

Hospitable, hyperlocal, and relaxed. It’s not just the homes with high-gabled roofs and front-porch swings that are quaint. Here you’ll find neighbors who know your name and friendly faces at the local haunts you’ll frequent along nearby Greenville Avenue. 

UNEXPECTED APPEAL

Architectural continuity and old-growth trees. In the late nineties, locals dismayed by the demolition of older homes began pushing to have the Greenland Hills and Vickery Place neighborhoods designated as conservation districts. Between the classic structures and century-old oak and pecan trees that have been preserved, the shady streets still exude a cohesive graciousness. 

THE MARKET

Early twentieth-century cottages lined up in charming conservation districts. If you appreciate Prairie, Craftsman, or Tudor-style homes, chances are high that these preservation-minded neighborhoods will have a tree-lined lot of your dreams. 

YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH

Sidewalk strolls and front-porch conversations. Laid out in an orderly grid, the area’s homes face well-maintained sidewalks ideal for leisurely strolls. Broad porches enhance the neighborhood’s friendly, unhurried vibe.
