The Neighborhood
Bluffview is the neighborhood Dallas insiders don't want you to know about. Tucked just west of the Park Cities, this quiet enclave of winding streets and towering trees offers something increasingly rare in Dallas: genuine character and community at prices that won't make your eyes water.
The neighborhood was developed in the 1940s and 1950s, and many original homes remain— lovingly maintained ranches, charming Cape Cods, and mid-century moderns that architects still study. The lots are generous, the trees are massive, and the streets are quiet enough that kids still play outside after school.
Bluffview Elementary consistently ranks among the top schools in Dallas ISD, giving families an excellent public school option without the Park Cities price tag.
