Oak Cliff - Dallas, TX Area Guide

A vast suburban neighborhood with an eclectic vibe

Diverse Historic Suburban Convenient Eclectic

Oak Cliff is a sprawling neighborhood located just southwest of Downtown Dallas. Formerly an independent city, Oak Cliff was annexed by Dallas in 1901. Oak Cliff maintains a sense of historic charm to this day, offering an array of well-preserved houses available for rent in addition to a variety of apartments, condos, and townhomes.

Although the neighborhood is largely suburban and residential, with lush landscaping and vast stretches of green space, the northeastern portion of Oak Cliff features an eclectic Main Street vibe. Northeastern Oak Cliff boasts a bevy of restaurants, shops, bars, and more in vintage storefronts strewn along West Jefferson Boulevard and West Davis Street. Direct access to Interstates 20, 30, and 35E connects Oak Cliff to all that the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has to offer.
