Uptown Dallas Homes and Condos

What makes it distinctive

Uptown in short

Uptown is a dense, mixed-use neighborhood in the City of Dallas just north of downtown, across Woodall Rodgers Freeway and Klyde Warren Park. Most homes are condos in mid-rise and high-rise buildings, plus townhomes and a few historic houses. Restaurants and shops along McKinney Avenue are within walking distance of many blocks. It is served by Dallas ISD and sits next to the Dallas North Tollway.

Where Uptown is

Uptown starts at Woodall Rodgers Freeway and Klyde Warren Park on the south and runs north along McKinney Avenue, with Central Expressway, US 75, on the east and Turtle Creek and Oak Lawn toward the west. The McKinney Avenue trolley runs through it, and the Katy Trail crosses its western side.

Homes and streets

Most Uptown homes are condos, from mid-rise buildings to towers, along with townhomes on side streets. A few older houses remain, especially in the State Thomas area. Buying a condo means reviewing the association's documents, budget and rules as carefully as the unit.

Uptown is lively, with restaurants, bars and offices close to homes. If a quiet street is your priority, look at side streets away from McKinney Avenue, or at single-family areas such as Preston Hollow.
