Rivers, ponds and lakes gleam under the warm Texas sun in Koreatown. From strolls in the park to grabbing lunch in Koreatown — amidst the industrial landscape, the area combines several neighborhoods and districts, enveloped by manufacturing and next to the Dallas Love Field airport — providing both travel convenience and occasional noise. Offering access to Dallas' Medical District, home to the UT Southwestern Medical Center, Koreatown is a cultural hub with Downtown Dallas at its doorstep. "Koreatown isn't a residential district; it's commercial," says Charlotte Case, a Realtor with Re/Max Town & Country. "The proximity to the airport and highways is a big draw; it's where people can not only live but get to work downtown."
Koreatown residents are always out and about walking at Trinity Skyline Trail.
Just south of Koreatown, there are numerous local and chain restaurants.
