East Dallas offers rural living near big-city amenities

Set into rolling hills near White Rock Lake and with residential streets shaded by tall oak trees, Lochwood feel miles away from city life. Around the corner sits a long stretch of greenbelt, as well as the winding Dixon Branch Creek for fishing on the weekends. But this neighborhood is within 6 miles of several large shopping malls, a diverse and growing food scene and lively entertainment districts in East Dallas. It's also close to well-rated schools. “With White Rock Lake nearby and Martha Turner Reilly Elementary School just around the corner, it’s easy to see why this spot is a local favorite,” says Juli Black, Senior Vice President with the real estate firm Allie Beth Allman & Associates.

Nature-shrouded one-story homes between parks and ponds

Many houses were built between the 1950s and 1960s, and have been updated and renovated with new windows, roofs and other modern touches. Lots here are spacious, giving residents plenty of room for landscaping or playing backyard football. Houses start at around $430,000 for 1,200- to 1,500-square-foot three-bedroom homes. Homes in the Wyrick Estates subdivision on the neighborhood’s northwestern edge are typically larger, Tudor-inspired builds from 2010 to the present, often with classic, arch-covered entryways, barn-style garage doors and cobblestone facades; prices range between $500,000 and $700,000.
