Prestonwood

• Neighborhood in Dallas, TX

Current Resident: I've lived in Prestonwood since birth and currently attend high school in the area. The public schools in this neighborhood are of very good quality; they're the reason that my parents chose to live in this neighborhood. Beyond that, it strikes me as a standard middle class Texas neighborhood.

Lake Highlands

• Neighborhood in Dallas, TX

Current Resident: Dallas' hidden gem. Great well established neighborhood within Dallas. A lot of young families moving into the area. Active neighborhoods. Many new commercial developments and great restaurants. Great location for work, school, shopping, and dinning. Houses were built in the late 70's. So, you have bigger and more functional floor plans than Lakewood or M Streets.

Greenway Parks

• Neighborhood in Dallas, TX
• 2

Niche User: I think it is a great place to raise a family and grow up, but it is not the most diverse or interesting. It is a fairly affluent area, but very nearby there are very underprivileged areas and it seems that a good number of people try to give back to those areas, which creates goodwill between fellow Dallasites. I would definitely live here again, I love Texas and I love Dallas- it will always be my home. I think it is one of the most family-friendly places in the country and it will continue to be like that. Other parts of Dallas are fun for young people, but I haven't experienced that part as much. I think Dallas will grow and continue to be a great place to live.
