Dallas Neighborhood Guide

Love Field

Photo By Leah Clausen

This Northwest Dallas neighborhood takes its name from, and is home to, the city’s airport—which is both a blessing and a challenge to residents. In recent years some formerly troubled corners of the community have seen new investment as the value of real estate conveniently located near downtown, as Love Field is, has soared.

Locals Complain

The Cole Manor motel is right on the edge of the neighborhood. And resident organizations have been trying to get the building removed.
