Uptown, Texas
Allie Beth Allman & Associates
Uptown is a sensational urban magnet with an eclectic comfortable lifestyle in the heart of one of Dallas’s trendiest neighborhoods. Within walkable distance from some of Dallas's most popular shopping, dining and entertainment venues, it is a community that takes convenience to an entirely new level. McKinney Avenue is the area’s most active thoroughfares, host to a diversity of popular restaurants, boutiques and retail and nightlife hotspots. With a home in the Uptown area, residents find that they have the best parking spot in town.
The area boasts many of the best restaurants in Dallas including Fearing’s and Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille and much more in the adjacent Harwood District. Uptown features new apartment complexes, high-rise residences and condominium communities, as well as single-family homes infused with the popular contemporary modern architectural style. It’s also an easy walk – or jog – to the Katy Trail, American Airlines Center in Victory Park, Klyde Warren Park and the Arts District, home to 68-acres of top entertainment venues featuring everything from pop and rock, to dance, classical music and Broadway’s best on any given night of the week.
But it’s not just all shopping and cuisine in Uptown; the area is chock full of young working professionals with a taste for urban living who value walkability in the heart of the city. Upscale condominiums, posh high-rise residences and beautiful new apartments dot the real estate landscape near Turtle Creek Boulevard, Knox Street, and McKinney Avenue. However, steps away from busy streets and vibrant nightlife destinations, there are single-family homes, perfect for established families and young couples ready to expand.
Residents can hop aboard the McKinney Trolley for a nostalgic tour of the neighborhood and an easy way to get from place to place. More traditional public transportation is available via the DART Cityplace/Uptown Station. Between the two, many residents say that they rarely need to use their vehicles. For travelers, both D/FW International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport are located just a short distance away, convenient and easily accessible. Popular neighborhoods in the Uptown area include West Village, McKinney Avenue, Knox-Henderson and State-Thomas.
