For many years the Oaklawn area of Dallas represented the closest thing to urban living offered in Dallas, with apartments and condominiums situated next to single-family residences. Retail and residential have co-existed in this pocket neighborhood on the fringes of downtown Dallas for many years, and have maintained their values through many market trends. Situated along historic Turtle Creek, Oaklawn's blend of ethnicity and urban living attracts both upscale buyers for elegant high-rises along Turtle Creek, and buyers for many affordable garden condominiums and townhomes available in the area. Perry Heights, an exclusively residential area within Oaklawn developed in the 1920's and 30's, conveys the neighborhood feel of the era and is within walking distance of urban activity.

Turtle Creek is one of the most prestigious areas of Dallas, located just north of Downtown and adjacent to Highland Park. The area is best known for the city's most luxurious high-rise living and magnificent mansions of the rich and famous. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright once referred to Turtle Creek Blvd. as one of the most beautiful boulevards in the country.

Boasting the finest restaurants, antique shops, art galleries, chic boutiques and five-star hotels, this area is the heartbeat of the Dallas Arts and cultural scene. Within a stroll from the trolley cars and bustling activity on McKinney Avenue, you will discover the residential neighborhood of Uptown Dallas/State Thomas. Designed to resemble the Brownstones of Boston and the elegance of Park Avenue, this is Dallas urban living at its best.
