Protected as a conservation district, few neighborhoods have preserved their original charm as well. The distinctive 1920s Tudor cottages that predominate in this little area just south of White Rock Lake lend it a distinct identity. That character, plus access to Lakewood Elementary, have made it a magnet for young families.
This corner of Dallas came to be in the 1920s, as American soldiers returned from World War I with new perspectives on life — and architecture.
From small block parties to the annual Home Tour, Art in the Park, Chili Cook-off, Halloween, and Christmas celebrations, the neighborhood’s residents know how to have fun.
The big city lights are minutes away, but when you’re reading a book in the shade of a 100-year-old oak, the big city can seem light years distant.
The cut-stone architectural embellishments found in Dallas — chimneys, arches, and facades — are truly a Texas accent to an otherwise European style.
