Casa Linda
Casa Linda Estates is situated to the south and east of White Rock Lake and to the south of Garland Road. The neighborhood features half acre and larger, tree-lined estates along winding roads, with the country charm of Forest Hills and massive oak and pecan trees., The area was originally known as Ola and Reinhardt prior to redevelopment as Casa Linda. Dallas annexed Reinhardt in 1948. Casa Linda Estates was effectively built out by the early 1950s, by Carl Brown, though a few vacant lots remained until the early 1960s. The architectural styles of the homes vary. Some excellent examples of Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture can be found in the area. The area is heavily treed, and most homes display well-kept and in some cases elaborate landscaping.
Casa Linda properties range from the starter homes to sprawling estates. This area surrounds Casa Linda Shopping Center which is the site of the well-known Casa Linda Theater. The Casa Linda Theatre was the second theater in the United States to be built as an integrated part of a shopping center, a novel idea at the time. In addition, Casa Linda Estates is close enough to White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum to enjoy all they have to offer. Casa Linda Estates has a Neighborhood Association, Crime Watch, and Quarterly Newsletter.
