North Dallas


North Dallas is the leafy, established good life north of the city core. Preston Royal Village and Preston Center keep boutiques, bakeries, and favorites like Houston's and Sevy's close to home. World-class NorthPark Center is a quick drive for shopping, dining, and a museum-grade art collection. The Tollway and Central Expressway make commuting anywhere a breeze. Quiet, tree-lined streets and top schools draw professionals and families alike. Parks and country clubs add green, gracious space. For renters who want space, prestige, and easy access to everything, North Dallas is a comfortable, classic choice.
