What are the best neighborhoods to buy a home in Dallas?

Dallas has many neighborhoods and districts that can be broken down into three main regions: East Dallas, South Dallas and Central Dallas. Uptown is another popular area of the city.

East Dallas

East Dallas is home to Deep Ellum, a fashionable and popular arts and entertainment district. The Lakewood neighborhood — which hosts the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens — can also be found here.

Notably, the region has many Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired, prairie-style homes.

South Dallas

This part of the city has a more diverse population and is popular with a wide variety of homebuyers, boasting different types of properties. Neighborhoods such as Cedars (popular among artists and musicians), Oak Cliff and the Bishop Arts District (famous for its shopping opportunities) can all be found here.

Central Dallas

Downtown Dallas, along with Oak Lawn and uptown, is the beating heart of the city, buzzing with entertainment options.

The upscale neighborhood is known for its exciting bar and restaurant scene and is mostly popular among young professionals.
