A peaceful suburb only 7 miles from downtown Dallas
Located 7 miles east of downtown Dallas, Buckner Terrace was once a part of farmland owned by the Buckner Orphanage. After selling part of the land in 1959, it was divided into industrial and residential areas, and by 1965, the neighborhood had been officially formed. Residents live southeast of White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, providing access to a variety of outdoor recreation. And while this cozy suburb is close to big-city life, its diverse community has an identity all its own, uniting over traditions, community projects and safety initiatives.
Only 7 miles on interstate 30 connect Buckner Terrace to downtown Dallas.
Buckner Terrace is a vibrant diverse community just quick drive from DFW.

Homes under $600,000 close to parks, schools and a lake
Lined with magnolia, oak and pecan trees, the 2,800 development has some of the most affordable homes compared to the rest of Dallas. Featured in PaperCity in 2023 as one of Dallas’ hottest neighborhoods, newcomers will find ranch-style homes, two-story custom brick homes and contemporary newer homes from $310,000 to $520,000. And once people are in, they tend to stay long term. “My most recent clients had been in their home for 30 years. The house hadn’t been renovated in 15 years, but it sold very quickly,” says Karis Jones, a Realtor for Heart & Home Realtors, serving the area for over 15 years. Most homes in Buckner Terrace were built between 1960 and 1990, but in the spring of 2021, the housing development Tennison Village added over 230 single-family homes to the neighborhood. The subdivision features a community pool and clubhouse and offers three —and four-bedroom homes starting at $400,000. Two gated communities, The Enclave of Grove Hill and The Enclave of Wooded Creek, offering custom-built homes, were also added to the neighborhood in 2017. Most homes are over 2,000 square feet, and lot sizes, another appeal of the community, start at 8,000 square feet but can span up to an acre, perfect for entertaining or gardening. Residents also enjoy multi-car garages, plenty of shade and proximity to White Rock Lake, several schools and two parks, depending on what section of the neighborhood they live in.
In Bucker Terrace, you may run across a few cottage style ranch homes dating back tot he 1800's.

Large parks, a lake and a botanical garden nearby
The neighborhood’s 8-acre Everglade Park has been a favorite since it opened in 1968. The park offers a pool, trails, a basketball court and a butterfly garden. In 2023, the neighborhood association installed a sculpture entitled “Harmony,” which encapsulates growth, hope and the community environment, displaying yellow butterflies. And at Lakeland Hills Park, residents can play rugby, shred pavement at its skatepark or let the kids play. Buckner Terrace is 3 miles from White Rock Lake, a popular summer spot for boating and fishing. The surrounding White Rock Lake Park offers a 9-mile hiking and biking trail, a dog park and the Bath House Cultural Center. Residents can also hop next door to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden to escape into nature within the city. With 19 named gardens, the 66-acre garden is home to over 2,000 azalea varieties and other floral displays.
The Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden spans 66-acres on the SE edge of White Rock Lake.

Residents are 5 miles from one of the area’s biggest venues for entertainment. Every September, over 2 million people flock to the State Fair of Texas held at Fair Park throughout October. A tradition for over 130 years, the fair is known for its pig races, Fletcher’s corny dogs, a full auto show and Big Tex, a 38-foot-tall sculpture that debuted in 1952 and is now a cultural cowboy icon. "Everyone goes for the fried food and Ferris Wheel and to see the animals,” Jones says. The historic 277-acre park also offers five museums, including the African American Museum, 10 entertainment venues and hosts events year-round from yoga to art in the park and rodeos.
