"Preston Road (North Dallas)"

Preston road goes all the way from north of the loop(LBJ-635) to downtown, where it becomes Oaklawn, but most Dallasites think of Preston as a street in North Dallas because of Valley View Mall’s location, on Preston and LBJ, as well as because of the Prestonwood Country Club just a bit farther north.

(Also, people who don’t like to use the tollway to get to the Galleria will often go north on Preston then hang a left on Alpha, often stopping at Valley View first.

South of the loop a lot of Preston is residential. It’s regarded as a very desirable neighborhood, being centrally located but still (a little) less expensive than the Park Cities downtown-- although some stretches are catching up.

"Great place to shop and Alternative to the Tollroad"

Preston Road runs through Highland and University Park and is one of the premier places to shop in Dallas besides Northpark Mall. Preston Center is located at Preston Road and Northwest Highway and has lots of shops and restaurants. Preston runs parallel to the Dallas North Tollroad and is an excellent way to go if you don't have a tolltag or want to avoid paying the tolls. The streets parrallel to Preston are generally residential and are valued quite highly - one of the main neighborhoods is Preston Hollow.
