A variety of home styles still exist in Bluffview, although new development is rapidly replacing the original homes. Smaller homes under 2000 sqft and lots for development can be found for just under $400,000. New construction and estate homes, which typically start around 5000sqft, are readily available with prices ranging from $1M to $5M.

The neighborhood was originally developed in the 1920s by Stephenson and Drane, the same developers how had created Greenway Parks. The 215 acres of land, which was formerly a diary farm, was purchased for less than $60,000. The name is derived from the 60-foot bluff of Austin Chalk seen in Bachman Creek which runs through the neighborhood. Bluffview is one of the few areas in Dallas that feature hilly terrain. The original developers saw this and the abundance of mature trees as a selling feature and designed the neighborhood with winding streets and irregular lot shapes in order to preserve the trees and terrain. Bluffview was annexed into the city of Dallas in 1943.
