Oaklawn/Uptown/Downtown/Knox Park

Welcome to the heart of the city of Dallas. Starting with our Downtown Business District and running north to the border of Highland Park, with Central Expressway on the east and Love Field Airport on the west.

Uptown, State Thomas, Oaklawn and Knox Park afford its residencts a vibrant urban lifestyle. Housing ranges from high rise condos with breathtaking views of Turtle Creek, Downtown and North Dallas to smaller condos and multi-storied townhomes, some with roof top decks. The close proximity to the downtown business district, Baylor Hospital and Southwest Medical Center adds to the appeal. Trendy restaurants, night life and shopping are within walking distance. The meandering Turtle Creek runs a lazy path through the neighborhoods creating lush tree-shaded grounds to relax and enjoy outdoor life. The Katy Trail, a 3 mile jog and bike trail, allows residents to also enjoy an active lifestyle. There are so many special features and amenities to this area.

The American Airlines Center houses the Dallas Maverick basketball team, Dallas Stars hockey team and Dallas Desperados football team. The arena also offers a fabulous venue for concerts and many other events.

Victory Plaza, adjacent to the AA Center, has a Times Square feel and has the largest and greatest number of digital bill boards within the United States. It is filled with trendy eateries and high-end shopping.

The West End gives visitors a taste of Dallas with long standing restaurants like Sonny Bryant’s BBQ, Dick’s Last Resort, Cadillac Bar, Gator’s Croc and Rock, On The Boarder and Spaghetti Warehouse to name a few. Renovated buildings have given way to loft living, allowing Dallas to keep a sense of history mixed in with the new additions to our skyline.

The arts district is the crowning jewel to the downtown district. The Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Collection of Asian Art, Meyerson Symphony Center, Winspear Opera House and the Wyly Theater for the Performing Arts all attract hundreds of thousands of arts patrons to this area. At the northeast entrance to this area is the One Arts Plaza condominium and office tower, adding a new dimension to our Dallas skyline.

State Thomas contains a mixture of Victorian homes and newer condo/townhome communities adjacent to Uptown and in the shadow of the trendy ZaZa Hotel, Crescent Court Hotel and Ritz Carlton Hotel and Condo Building. This area is one of Dallas’ most vibrant and dynamic areas and one not to miss even if it is just to enjoy the amenities.
