The Neighborhood
Preston Hollow is Dallas's address for those who've arrived. Sprawling north from the Park Cities to the LBJ Freeway, this established neighborhood offers what few Dallas areas can match: significant acreage, mature landscaping, and genuine privacy—all within 15 minutes of downtown.
The neighborhood developed primarily in the 1940s and 1950s, giving the trees decades to grow into the towering canopies that now shade winding streets. Properties here range from "comfortable estate" to "genuinely extraordinary"—you'll find 1-acre lots alongside 10-acre compounds with staff quarters and full security.
Notable residents past and present include former President George W. Bush, whose primary residence sits on a quiet Preston Hollow street, as well as Mark Cuban, Ross Perot Jr., and numerous Fortune 500 executives who value the combination of prestige and discretion this neighborhood provides.
