Oak Lawn Dallas, TX

Oak Lawn strikes the perfect balance between hip and sophisticated.

Trendy Mass Transit Community

Where Uptown makes a splash with its hip restaurants, cool hangouts, trendy boutiques, and walkability and Highland Park exudes wealth and quiet sophistication, there's a Dallas neighborhood that strikes the perfect balance between the two: Oak Lawn. This fun-loving neighborhood is best known for its events, in particular its annual Halloween party and its Pride Parade. Cedar Springs Road is lined with shops, restaurants, and nightclubs and the beautiful Turtle Creek provides a tree-filled path for walking and jogging. You'll find a wide variety of housing in Oak Lawn, from high-rise apartments and condos to luxury townhomes and charming duplexes -- some in renovated historic mansions. And while Oak Lawn is separated from Uptown by Turtle Creek, many Oak Lawn residents still claim parts of Uptown as their own. In addition to the Turtle Creek Parkway Park, residents of Oak Lawn enjoy the 46-acre Reverchon Park, which has access to the Katy Trail as well as a playground and a recreation center. Robert E. Lee Park, located along the creek, provides access to the Turtle Creek Trail and is home to Arlington Hall and a statue of Robert E. Lee.
