Historic districts within sight of downtown
Why East Dallas?
East Dallas is less one neighborhood than a family of them: Junius Heights, Vickery Place, Munger Place, and the leafy blocks in between, developed as streetcar suburbs a century ago and preserved as some of Dallas's most intact historic districts. Craftsman bungalows, Prairie homes, and Tudor cottages line the streets, with Greenville Avenue dining, White Rock Lake, and downtown all minutes away. It is the address for buyers who want character you cannot rebuild.
What you should know
- Junius Heights is the largest collection of Arts and Crafts homes in the Southwest, a historic district platted in the 1906 streetcar land rush.
- Vickery Place, platted in 1911, pairs Prairie, Craftsman, and Tudor homes with tall pecan trees and an easy walk to Greenville Avenue.
- The nearby Swiss Avenue Historic District lines a boulevard of early-20th-century mansions, one of the city's most photographed streets.
