Southwest Dallas


Southwest Dallas trades pavement for lakes, hills, and open sky. Mountain Creek Lake glitters at its edge, perfect for paddling and sunset drives. Hike nine miles of trails through the 633-acre, Audubon-run Cedar Ridge Preserve, a slice of Hill Country twenty minutes from downtown. Joe Pool Lake and the Dallas Zoo sit just minutes away. I-20 and Loop 12 keep downtown and Fort Worth within easy reach. Green, spacious, and value-packed, it's a nature lover's corner of the city. For renters who want outdoor adventure and room to spread out, Southwest Dallas is a wide-open escape.
