Oak Lawn

…suburban skin, city soul

It may look suburban, with its lush, well-manicured lawns, tall Oaks and Tudor duplexes, but the eminently walkable Oak Lawn 'hood offers more than your typical suburb.

Comparable to San Francisco’s Castro, this area's not only a magnet for chic night owls—partly due to its proximity to Dallas' Design District—but is also known as a center for GLBT nightlife and entertainment. The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Dallas Theater Center is also located here.

Housing is as diverse as the unique shops and eclectic population, so whether you opt for a progressive high-rise apartment complex like the 42-story Cityplace Tower, or you prefer the classic single-family home near one of Turtle Creek's man-made waterfalls, Oak Lawn welcomes all.

Who needs the city when a suburb can be like this?
