Downtown Dallas


Downtown Dallas drops you straight into the dazzling center of it all. Gleaming high-rises and chic converted lofts overlook the buzzing Main Street District and the neon-lit AT&T Discovery District. Klyde Warren Park is the city's green living room, with food trucks, live music, and games all week long. Toast the skyline from Reunion Tower, hunt for treasures at the Dallas Farmers Market, and gallery-hop the world-class Arts District. Catch a show at the Majestic Theatre or a game at nearby arenas. DART rail and buses make a car completely optional. For renters who want culture, energy, and glamour at their doorstep, downtown is electric.
