I have lived in Oak Lawn/Turtle Creek most of my adult life. An interesting mix of people live here. We have great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, parks, restaurants and are close to everything — Uptown, Downtown, North Dallas, all the major freeways.
I lived in Oak Lawn from 1992-2018 I am a Realtor who is very active in the area. We loved our past neighborhood of Oak Lawn Heights. We had awesome neighbors. I think this area is a great value!
Parking leaves something to be desired, but there are so many easily accessible places in this area, you never need to leave your neighborhood. The patrons and service industry professionals are all friendly and welcoming. Safe beautiful quiet neighborhoods with tree lined streets. A bustling exciting night life is just around the corner.
