Uptown

The densest, most walkable corner of Dallas — and the one you can genuinely live in without a car.

01The market

Living in Uptown

Uptown runs north from downtown along McKinney Avenue and Cedar Springs, and it is the part of Dallas that behaves most like a city. Restaurants, offices and residences sit on the same blocks, the McKinney Avenue trolley still runs, and the Katy Trail cuts through the middle of it as a genuine daily route rather than a weekend one.

Housing is mostly vertical — high-rise and mid-rise condominiums, with townhomes and a pocket of restored Victorian-era houses in State-Thomas. Buildings vary considerably in age, service level and construction quality, so due diligence on the building matters at least as much as due diligence on the unit.

It suits buyers who want to lock the door and leave, or who want to be able to walk to dinner. It is not where you come for land.
