Oak Lawn

The Oaklawn neighborhood is part of the greater Uptown area just north of downtown Dallas. It is roughly bounded by the North Dallas Tollway on the West, Oaklawn Avenue on the east, Maple on the south and Hawthorne to the North. Most of Oaklawn is part of a Planned Development District known as the Oak Lawn Special Purpose District. An active committee comprised of developers and residents guides redevelopment in the area.

One of the most dense neighborhoods in Dallas, Oaklawn is host to a great many upscale residents living in townhomes and condominiums. While a few single family homes remain, the majority of the area is multi-family use. Smaller and older condos begin around $100,000 while newer townhomes will typically run in the range of $400,000.

Great independently owned shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities abound in Oaklawn. There are very few chain stores or franchised restaurants located in Oaklawn. Adjacent to Oaklawn are Reverchon Park and Lee Park, both of which have entertained Oaklawn residents for many years. The Katy Trail is nearby as well. The area is served by Dallas ISD.
