Uptown Dallas is directly north ("up") and north east of downtown.  The neighborhood's latest growth began in the 1990's with apartment developers being granted the rights to build in the Uptown district.  Run down, older areas were replaced with new, shining residences, promoting growth.  From this point, the trendy Uptown Dallas truly has grown into what is perhaps the most desirable area in Dallas for professionals.  

Mckinney Avenue is the main street that defines Uptown Dallas .  A trolley runs through Mckinney Avenue and connects to downtown, which is also connected via the DART system.  Mckinney Avenue is replete with hundreds of chic shops and restaurants, many with patio dining, to give an almost European feel.   Typically, the closer an apartment is to Mckinney Avenue , the more desirable the apartment is.  

Areas of Uptown that are either directly connected to McKinney Avenue or close by include:

 

West Village - Currently perhaps the hottest area of Uptown is West Village.  The West Village area has delightful shops and restaurants within a new and modern shopping center.  The shopping is trendy and delightful, and it just seems like there is no "bad" store there.  Ann Taylor Loft, the Paul Frank store, Tommy Bahama, and The Yap are just some of the eclectic choices here.  Several restaurants (such as Cru, Mi Cocina, Tom Tom's Asian Cuisine, etc.) to choose from.  And, even catch a movie at the Magnolia Theater.   There are many wonderful apartments in and near by this amazing center!  West Village is waiting for you!

State Thomas - The State Thomas area is an area bordering West Village and Mckinney Avenue .  It is a beautiful area full of sidewalks with brick pavings, trees, parks and breeze filled streets to stroll, designed to resemble the Brownstones of Boston.  This is a very pet friendly area, with a park nearby.  The area also contains restaurants and shops to walk to, and is within 2 blocks of both West Village and McKinney Avenue .  It is the preferred place to live for many Uptown residents, due to the many townhomes and sleek yet relaxed feel. 

                            

Oak Lawn / Turtle Creek - Oak Lawn is an area that is basically centered around Cedar Springs Avenue .  Oak Lawn is a wealthier section of Dallas, filled with unique shops, restaurants and nightclubs (and often very trendy ones).  Turtle Creek is a particularly affluent area of Oak Lawn that runs alongside Turtle CreekTurtle Creek is also known for an eclectic mix of single family homes and condos and apartments.
