Greenland Hills Real Estate
The M Streets: 1920s Tudors on a tree-lined grid
Why Greenland Hills?
Greenland Hills, better known as the M Streets for its McCommas, Monticello, and Merrimac streets, is a historic East Dallas neighborhood of 1920s and 30s Tudor Revival cottages built on a former dairy farm. Protected as a conservation district, it pairs some of Dallas's most charming architecture with mature trees and an easy walk to Lower Greenville dining, Central Market, and Mockingbird Station. It is the rare neighborhood that looks like a postcard and still trades briskly.
What you should know

- Glencoe Park, roughly 14 acres at the neighborhood's edge, has a playground, tennis, a rugby field, and a picnic area.
- Central Market at Lovers Lane sits right at the neighborhood's edge, a magnet for prepared foods and weekend people-watching.
