StreetAdvisor: Reviews for Dallas, Texas, United States

Harry Hines Boulevard

02/06/2008 17:42:29 -07:00

. Harry Hines Blvd is colloquially referred to by some as a prostitution haven, but I suspect this is exaggerated by locals. It is the home of UT Southwestern medical school and Parkland Hospital, which is where they took Kennedy after he was shot. Maybe hookers lost his brain. Seriously though,alth...

Go see Bachman Lake

02/06/2008 17:39:48 -07:00

Northwest Highway is also known as Loop 12, although nobody in Dallas calls it that(also, it's not actually a loop, which may have something to do with it.) On the west side of NW Highway is Bachman Lake, which is a really lovely spot. You can walk or jog the entire perimeter of it to get some sceni...

Webb Chapel road

02/06/2008 17:36:37 -07:00

Webb Chapel goes North-South, and it's a little rough on the south side("webb chapel extension") around the three thousand block, where there are row after row of apartment complexes. On the northside around the intersection with LBJ you'll find “Two Guys From Italy” one of Dallas's best affordable...

.Royal Lane near I-35

02/06/2008 17:33:19 -07:00

.Royal Lane near I-35 is mostly not much to look at, but it has a lot of computer wholesalers and other IT businesses , as well a lot of interesting hole-in-the wall Chinese restaurants. Much of Royal on the west side near the Bush turnpike is still undeveloped, until you get to Hackberry Country Cl...

Young Street is a good street to know

02/06/2008 17:30:36 -07:00

Young Street is a good street to know if you want to go downtown, because it has a lot of day parking lots, as well as the Dallas Public Library and the oddly shaped city hall just across from it. Also, if you get hungry for inexpensive fare, Young St has a McDonald's and a Subway!

Yes, Dallas has a Lovers Lane

02/06/2008 17:27:59 -07:00

Yes, Dallas has a Lover's Lane, er, Lovers Lane. Its best known intersection is Inwood and Lovers, where you'll find the historic Inwood theater( including the swanky art-deco Inwood bar inside the lobby), which has been an Art House theater for at least 25 years now. There's also a great Turkish re...

Mockingbird Lane-Dallas's real main street

02/06/2008 17:25:06 -07:00

Mockingbird Lane is probably the premier “main drag” running through midtown Dallas, and a veritable restaurant row. Lemmon Avenue, which intersects Mockingbird across from Love Field, is probably a close second, but Mockingbird has more restaurants and hotels and motels, and it passes through the D...

Lemmon Avenue- (a) main street for mid-town Dallas

02/06/2008 17:22:15 -07:00

Dallas has a Main Street, but Lemmon Avenue, possibly tied with Mockingbird Lane, probably has more of a claim to being Dallas’s “main drag” far more than Main Street proper does. The downtown section includes a lot of older, medium-sized businesses, mixed in with newer ones that represent a part o...

Preston Road (North Dallas)

02/06/2008 17:15:17 -07:00

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 nort...

Good on north, bad on south.

30/05/2008 15:37:17 -07:00

I used to take Belt Line to Montford to work for 6 months so I drive on Montford at least 5 times a week. There is a big difference in its road condition and looks as you drive from Addison into Dallas.

The street is very decent and clean looking when it's on the Addison side as there are shops...

Takes you anywhere you want to go

28/05/2008 22:55:18 -07:00

If you are looking to go anywhere in Dallas, this is the street you may want to take. And it is fairly decent, and at times can be an enjoyable ride. That is unless you come on the wrong time, and if you do, you'd probably get to your destination faster by walking as this road can go from clear to b...

Great street to visit

28/05/2008 22:40:11 -07:00

This is an amazing place to come, and there is something for everyone. They have a mall that is really nice, and I'd say one of the best you could expect to find in any state. Best of all is that aside from the shops you expect to find in malls, This mall has really high end shops where you can find...

Party Street of Dallas!

30/05/2008 14:40:51 -07:00

Like the previous reviewer stated, this street is mainly for young people to hang out on weekends. I used to frequent this part of town a lot because there are just so much to do.

I would suggest not driving there because parking is a pain in the butt and a lot of people park in front of houses...

Quiet street in a buzzing area

30/05/2008 14:26:14 -07:00

I used to live at the Douglas Park Apartment Complex about 10 years ago and I really miss living there. The street itself isn't the prettiest or the most active, but the streets surrounding it like Lemmon Ave and Cedar Springs are packed with party goers and fun seekers every weekend. About 10-15 ye...

ideal for families

28/05/2008 23:05:01 -07:00

this street is ideal for those with families as it is away from the heavy noise and traffic of the city. You can feel safe when your children are outside playing because there are not too many cars that go up and down the street and they generally keep to the speed limit as a courtesy to the residen...

A good place to get some sleep

28/05/2008 23:00:14 -07:00

This street is nice, and the homes are really nice. It is a great place to be if you have had enough of the real city life and you just want to relax and have some peace and quiet. However, it is very boring here and unless you have a lot of things at home to sustain yourself, or you just don't care...

Surprisingly very nice

28/05/2008 22:30:16 -07:00

Most places with apartment complexes are not considered to be areas where people want to live just for the traffic and the fact that people move in and out frequently and you never know who you have in your neighborhood. This is an exception becuase there are many long term residents and they are al...

Fun for the family

28/05/2008 22:19:09 -07:00

Most places you go, you either find something for yourself, or your kids, but it is hard to find a place that has fun for the whole family, This street has things that attract all people, young, old, male, female and you don't have to have a ton of money to enjoy what this street has to offer.

More nature in Dallas

28/05/2008 22:04:33 -07:00

this is a street that people who love being outdoors but don't want to live a hundred miles from the city should live. It is so peaceful and beautiful and is really a great place to raise children. there is a lot to do if you have an imagination and a love for being outdoors, instead of locked up in...

A bit of nature

28/05/2008 22:00:26 -07:00

Living here, you would forget that you are in dallas and think you are in a forrest or something. This place is so beautiful and for what you get, prices for homes is reasonable. This is ideal for families as there is so many things you can do outdoors. It is safe, neighborly, and it is just overall...

decent but average

28/05/2008 21:56:54 -07:00

This street is an ok street with a little bit of shopping. You wont find much originality here because the shopping is inside of a mall, and the stores and places to eat are standard in pretty much all malls in America. It is a way to beat the heat, but I don't recommend it if you want a feel for wh...

a fun little street

28/05/2008 21:53:36 -07:00

at times this street can seem boring and kind of plain. There aren't bars and nightclubs all over the place, and the people who frequent this area seem quite tame. That is the best part of it though. it is a great street without all of the madness. Best of all, they have a farmer's market that you c...

You Must Go!

27/05/2008 15:26:57 -07:00

Located on Dallas Parkway is the Galleria Mall. There are some of the greatest stores here including Versace. Also there is this HUGE indoor ice skating rink that you must see. Everything about this place is a must. The shopping is great, food wonderful, and ice skating is so much fun. They offer in...

Good Road to Take Through Dallas

27/05/2008 15:20:24 -07:00

Interstate 45 is a great road to take from south Dallas up to 75 which continues to North Texas. The road is in decent shape. Traffic can be outrageous if you are on 45 at the wrong times of the day. There are also a lot of exits as you are going through the city that you can take to access a lot th...

Pretty rough road!

27/05/2008 15:15:54 -07:00

Marilla Street is a rough road. It has a lot businesses located on it. It also has a lot of patch work done to the pavement so no part of it is level with the rest which makes for a rough, bumpy ride. It has great sidewalks though which you could enjoy and lots of pretty trees lining the road and si...

Your typical Interstate

27/05/2008 15:07:03 -07:00

Interstate 30 is just your typical interstate. During rush hour the traffic is horrible. If there is an accident blocking the road you could wait for several hours. The road could use some new pavement and some of the potholes are bad. This is one of your main roads coming into and going out of Dall...

Very Nice Place

27/05/2008 14:59:56 -07:00

Commerce Street is where the Dallas Grande Hotel is located. It is a wonderful place to stay if you are going to visit Dallas. There is so much to do within walking distance. There are stores, eateries, and lots of other things. The road is in good shape but the traffic can become very congested at...

Great place for the family!

27/05/2008 14:33:42 -07:00

North Market Street is where "The West End District" is located. There is so much to do here, including shopping, eating, playing, and just having fun. If you visit here, which is a must, you need to go visit Wild Bills Western Store. They have some of the coolest things in that store including hand...

This is in the Business District

27/05/2008 14:25:54 -07:00

Akard Street is where the Dallas City Hall is located and the Convention Center can be accessed from here. The road is in great shape and traffic can be congested at times, especially when things are going on at the Convention Center. Overall this is a great road to use to travel through Dallas.

Great place to shop and Alternative to the Tollroad

27/05/2008 12:46:58 -07:00

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 excell...

Ideal place to start and raise a family

27/05/2008 12:28:38 -07:00

A friend of mine lives on Hanover - it is a beautiful neighborhood with large houses. It is situated in University Heights located in University Park and costs a pretty penny but is certainly worth it. Many families play in their front yards and young couples walk along the tree-lined sidewalks. It'...

Highland Park and University Park main artery

27/05/2008 12:24:07 -07:00

Hillcrest Avenue runs along the beautiful Southern Methodist University as well as through Highland Park and University Park which happen to be two of the premier places to live in Dallas, Texas. There is a great mix of restaurants, spas, dry cleaners, and retail along Hillcrest opposite SMU. Along...

Great place to hear music and get a tattoo

27/05/2008 12:13:10 -07:00

Main street is not a place to live but is a great place to hear some good local music and get a tattoo. Main Street is part of Deep Ellum which is known for being a place where you keep your purse close and your eyes open and has a dark, dirty, genuine atmosphere. There's a great mix of art gallerie...

Perfect place to go out

27/05/2008 12:07:19 -07:00

Lower Greenville is a great place to go out. There are loads of dive bars, restaurants, pubs, and music venues including the Granana Theatre.There are great consignment and resale shops (Buffalo Exchange) along lower Greenville. Its usually where I recommend young people and college students from ou...

Great, upscale place to live

27/05/2008 12:00:39 -07:00

Cole Avenue is part of the Uptown Dallas district and has lovely upscale lofts, apartments, and townhomes. It's pretty much occupied by young professionals and young couples. There's nearby access to the Katy Trail which is a great place to walk, run, or bike after work or on the weekends. There's a...

Montfort is an Excellent Conduit from There to Anywhere Else

27/05/2008 11:26:14 -07:00

I've often found Montfort Drive to be an excellent alternative to The Dallas North Tollway or Preston Rd. when travelling through North Dallas. Montfort's appeal is limited, of course, to length in relation to your own travel needs. But, when living in North Dallas near Addison I found this drive in...

Great place to raise a family.

27/05/2008 10:43:07 -07:00

A friend of mine lives here and I have spent a great deal of time on this street. This is a wonderful place for young families - it runs right through Snider Plaza which has an array of upscale restaurants (Penne Pomodoro, Felissa's, and Amore's), down-home restaurants (Kuby's and Peggy Sue's BBQ) a...

Nice place to retire

27/05/2008 10:33:09 -07:00

I lived in the Wilshire House Apartments at 6151 E Mockingbird Lane in 2007. It wasn't restricted in terms of applicants, but it was practically a retirement village - I was in college at the time. As I moved out it seemed as if the tenants were becoming a bit more varied; younger families, other co...

A police nightmare!

18/05/2008 00:37:08 -07:00

North Garrett Street really is a police officer's nightmare. Gang activity goes unchecked in this neighborhood, along with drug use and prostitution on many street corners and back alleyways. Residents of this street are always having to look over their shoulders and rightfully adds more locks to th...

Bad street, not to be trusted.

18/05/2008 00:27:29 -07:00

Like other streets nearby San Jacinto Street has plenty of dangerous aspects. Large groups of rough looking young men making threatening gestures to traffic is all together too common. Drug deals and prostitution can be witnesses at all times of day here. And the police force seems either unable or...

Horrible, horrible street!

18/05/2008 00:07:45 -07:00

North Harwood Street, a dangerous street among many other dangerous streets around the Dallas area. Police cars can always be seen on the street afer being called for domestic violence or drug related arrests. 34 Gang and gang-like groups are constantly a treat of bodily harm on and near North Harwo...

Blink and You May Miss Verde Valley Lane.

27/05/2008 10:14:39 -07:00

Verde Valley is a small stretch of Dallas, Texas blacktop wending its quiet way past the gated condominium communities that bump up against a wooden sign announcing the fact that another step will bring you onto the coveted lawns of Addison. I've often heard the word 'Addison' spoken of in hushed,...

Wonderful place to live as a young professional

27/05/2008 10:06:47 -07:00

I love driving home everyday, the streets are lined with flowers and people with their dogs and children getting out and getting some fresh air. There are always great events happening in the Village Country Club, live music and entertainment are not hard to find. Most the people living here are you...

Southpoint Drive-The Illusion of Suburbia Within City Walls

27/05/2008 08:16:04 -07:00

Southpoint Drive, Dallas, Texas, is a cut-rate substitute for an already second-rate dream. This area presents the visitor with a cheap 'study' into semi-suburbanite psychology. I only assume that illusion is one which a homeowner can live with.
Southpoint is one of several short, curved virtual-cl...

Major Road, close to everything

26/05/2008 09:16:37 -07:00

I lived on Arapaho Rd. in Dallas TX for over a year. Some of the nice things about living on a busy street are the transportation possibilities. Being so close to the major hub that is Dallas makes places easier to get to. The safety of the neighborhood is good depending where you are at. The int...

Very nice street in quiet neighborhood.

18/05/2008 00:54:36 -07:00

The residents of Glencoe Street are lucky enough to not only live in a beautiful neighborhood, but also a wonderfully quiet one. Major highways nearby allows for easy access to shopping, dining, and much, much more. Large older trees here supply plenty of shade for those who like the outdoors on nic...

Loud and dangerous street.

17/05/2008 23:06:09 -07:00

Live Oak Street itself is pretty loud and dangerous. Poorly lit, this street is not really safe for women or children, if anyone. Drugs and loud questionable activities make this a very poor choice when looking for a new place to call home. This street offers cheaper housing but is not worth it afte...

Older neighborhood with nice clean streets.

17/05/2008 22:29:02 -07:00

Kings Highway is located in North Oak Cliff, which is built on gentle, rolling hills. Beautiful older homes line the streets, adding character and class to the neighborhood. And because it's located outside the center of Dallas, the residents here have real privacy without the ever present intrusion...

Nice and Historic!

17/05/2008 22:13:36 -07:00

North Winnetka Avenue has more than its share of old homes. History buffs will truely love taking a relaxing drive along this street! Located far enough away from the hussle and bussle on the downtown area but still close enough for easy shopping, entertainment, and culture of Dallas. North Winnetka...

Quiet street, great for retirees.

17/05/2008 21:56:40 -07:00

Merrimac Avenue is another great street among many in this part of Dallas. Like its neighboring streets, Merrimac has lots of older trees offering ample shade for the residents. Large, classy brick homes on sprawling grassy lawns are plentiful and very few children along this street makes it extreme...

Wonderful old neighborhood!

17/05/2008 21:42:39 -07:00

Older homes dominate this street, all with their own manicured lawns, and shaded yards and sidewalks. The residents here enjoy a bit of a reprieve from their hectic lives when they come home to this peaceful setting, Yet they are still close enough to all the shopping and entertainment they could ev...

Great residential street.

17/05/2008 21:27:20 -07:00

Monticello Avenue is located just off North Central Expressway, giving residents quick access to downtown Dallas, the city's colleges, abundant shopping, and entertainment. This street is lined with comfortable yet upscale homes, manicured lawns, and shaded sidewalks. The residents of this neighborh...

Dallas Downtown Park

17/05/2008 05:30:14 -07:00

This is very close to the Giggs Park which is located very near to the Dallas Downtown area. A bit far from the congestion of the downtown, you can enjoy this place and take some rest. It is relatively peaceful and nice to be around. Stay at the western edge of the park as it is away from the nearby...

A great view of the lake

17/05/2008 05:24:34 -07:00

The mountain creek lake bridge provides an awesome view of the expanse of the mountain creek lake. If you drive around the place, make sure to drive through the bridge, you will enjoy it. While moving towards east, you will notice a huge part of the lake on your left. A relatively smaller portion of...

A Noisy Neighborhood

17/05/2008 05:19:25 -07:00

This living area is really close to the Dallas Love Field airport. Anyone living in the place has an advantage in the sense that they do not have to rush for the domestic flights as the airport is nearby. However, living here comes with its cons. This is a very noisy place because of planes coming i...

Few centers of interest

17/05/2008 00:37:32 -07:00

I have visited Drive F several times. It connects Drive A in the south and has tennis courts on the right. There is a huge parking lot on the left. The street is very clean and green and gives a pleasant fresh feeling to its visitors.There is a McDermott Library, International Students Services Offi...

One of the greeen streets

17/05/2008 00:28:01 -07:00

Drive G is another beautiful, quiet and a place with harmony. It connects to Drive A in the South. When you enter drive G from south and move towards north, there are some tennis courts on the left. These are for the use by University of Texas at Dallas's Students and their families. On the right th...

what a place to live

17/05/2008 00:22:12 -07:00

i have lived at this place for about few months but this place is veryyy comfortable , quiet and peaceful. The life is so calmful that i didnt even notice that days and months pass by without any hassle. There is housing apartments on both sides of the road for University of Texas at dallas. I just...

WELCOME TO THE CREEK

07/05/2008 07:22:37 -07:00

Marsh creek was the second place we moved to after relocating to Dallas.
located at 18749 marsh lane in north Dallas this street was really nice,with about four complexes surrounded by a network of creeks this place had a really serene beauty to it.
Every body would meet at the park in the middle...

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

07/05/2008 07:13:13 -07:00

Just after hurricane Katrina we were relocated to Dallas,north Dallas to be exact,to the park apartments on Rosemeade parkway,man those folks were really nice to us, they Throwed us a pool party ,gave use food and clothes and just overall opened there arms to use ,but i came to learn they weren't ju...

Farmers Market in Harwood Street

01/05/2008 23:08:57 -07:00

We've been shopping at the Farmer's Market for so many years and love it. It has improved every year. You can talk to the farmers who actually grew the produce you're buying, although not every seller grew what he's sellling. And you can taste just about everything. There are also plants for sale an...

Stay away at night

01/05/2008 23:03:28 -07:00

there are sooo many korean stores in this area. most of the businesses were closed, seeing it was a sunday. the whole place was dead quiet. most likely, more than 10 plazas in this area.
there's no chinatown in dallas, but the asian population here is huge.
this place is quite neat.has booths much...

Just an OK Place

01/05/2008 22:58:22 -07:00

A lots of Parks will be found but i had a chance to go to fair Park.Fair Park is a fine place to go if you have a reason to be going there- such as a concert or the State Fair. I can't say I'd just go wander around there for the heck of it. It's really not a very nice neighborhood surrounding it. Ho...

A ton of Stores in Dallas

01/05/2008 21:40:50 -07:00

One of my fav places on Dallas Pkwy is Galleria. The Mall is huge, and even has an ice rink on the first floor. It has stores such as, Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Juicy Couture, Ruehl No. 925, Lucky Brand, Nordstrom, Macy's, and so on. They also have your basic stores such as the Gap, and...

Another Great Park in Dallas

01/05/2008 20:07:45 -07:00

South Griffin Street, where the Young Street cuts it, theres a beautiful and a huge park by the intersection. Very cool to see - it was a walk for us though. Dallas Convention Center is on the opposite side of the road. We parked down by the Book Depository & walked to the far side of the Convention...

And so the Dallas Blooms

01/05/2008 17:30:39 -07:00

We are always looking for things to do with our family in Dallas. If you are wondering somewhere in Garland , Dallas then Dallas Arboretum is waiting for you. Again and again we return to the best place for everyone in our family, the Dallas Arboretum. There is something for everyone there and they...

Great Mall in Dallas

01/05/2008 17:25:18 -07:00

If you visit the lovely city of Dallas for the first time, dont miss N Central Expy. i would recommend one of the places which I sought out after seeing it was NorthPark Center. It is pretty much standard as newer malls go, it looked like it had once been an old mall and was more recently redone....

Quiet and Green

29/04/2008 23:40:32 -07:00

It lies between the university parking lot and the on campus housing i.e., the apartment homes. Some good landscaping work has been done to make it look good. The street is not so long with a green patch all along which is quite soothing to the eyes. Its an every green patch which makes it much more...

Really Cheap Housing

29/04/2008 19:51:54 -07:00

McCallum apartments is a quite affordable living place. Although there are security problems on and off, but If you are vigilant enough you can always avoid getting into trouble. This apartment chain is home to lot of students who want to save some money living off campus. It is about 10 minutes dri...

Great neighborhood close to downtown Dallas, but with small town feel

11/02/2008 15:48:52 -08:00

6000 block of Anita is particularly great - get together for block parties, etc. Mix of young couples w/ and w/o kids, singles, retirees, and over-70 folks. Elementary school is 1 block away, but still very quiet. 3.5 miles to downtown, 30-45 min to DFW Airport, 20 min to Love Field. Everything...

Leafy, quiet, friendly, convenient

21/01/2008 18:51:53 -08:00

The street is very attractive with large trees and little traffic. There are a lot of people who walk with babies in strollers, kids, dogs, etc.

The street is mixed with young professional families with children, empty nesters, retirees, and a few singles. Homes are 1 to 1 1/2 stories and range...

Perfect place to raise a family while still staying close enough in to citylife

21/01/2008 09:07:05 -08:00

This street is tucked away and quiet, but easy to access and close to many Dallas attractions and hotspots. The parks, schools and neighbors make it a big plus. Additionally, the value per square foot is hard to find anywhere in the city of Dallas - its a real find!

thriving neighborhood, nightlife, restaurants, shops, trails

21/01/2008 08:15:58 -08:00

One way street surrounding parks, nightlife, good restaurants, retail stores and trails to workout. Elementary public school less than a block away.

THE MOST STABLE NEIGHBORHOOD IN DALLAS - AND WITHIN RICHARDSON ISD

19/01/2008 14:30:05 -08:00

http://www.billcherrybroker.com

This neighborhood comprising the 75238 Zip Code is Dallas' anomaly. Nice traditional and traditional ranch-style homes, most built in the 1980s, and with many of the original owners still here.

It's called Lake Highlands, and it's the place where many children...

A family focused neighborhood 15 minutes from downtown with big yards (1/2 acre or larger)

14/04/2007 09:37:59 -07:00

Originally built just before and after WWII, this neighborhood features yards up to 3 acres. Strong neighborhood association addresses common issues and residents are friendly. A few original owners still in the area but most houses have children ranging in age from 1 to 20.
