Where Kessler Park is
The core of Kessler Park sits between I-30 on the north and Colorado Boulevard on the south, with Beckley Avenue to the east and Stevens Park Golf Course to the west. Next door, around the golf course, is Stevens Park, a neighborhood from the same era. The conservation district covers ten separate developments built between 1923 and 1979, and part of the area is also on the National Register of Historic Places as the Kessler Park Historic District.
Houses and streets
Coombs Creek and its bluffs shape the streets, so lots follow the hills and many are larger and more irregular than on a grid. Houses run from 1920s and 1930s period styles to mid-century homes from later developments.
Because it is a conservation district, exterior changes and new construction usually need city review. Read the district's ordinance before planning work. With hills and creeks, check the flood maps and drainage for any lot near the water, and give older homes a careful foundation inspection.
Schools: which district and how to check
Kessler Park is served by Dallas ISD. Enter the exact address in Dallas ISD's school lookup to see the assigned campuses, and confirm the district on the property's DCAD record.
Getting around
I-30 runs along the north side. Downtown is across the Trinity River to the northeast, reached by Beckley Avenue, Zang Boulevard and the viaducts into downtown. The Bishop Arts District, with restaurants and shops, is nearby in North Oak Cliff, and the Dallas Streetcar runs between Bishop Arts and downtown. Drive times depend on the hour and the route.
