Established neighborhood near Kiest Park
Locals might not expect to find forested parks and midcentury architecture just 7 miles south of Downtown Dallas, but that's why Oak Park Estates is booming. "Over the last 10 to 15 years, people have rediscovered this part of the city. We've seen a major resurgence in renovations and new families moving in,” says James Fairchild, Associate Broker of the Fairchild Group at Ebby Halliday Realtors and longtime resident of Oak Park Estates. The neighborhood features rolling hills and mature trees just south of Kiest Park and minutes from Route 67. “Getting downtown takes maybe 15 minutes max, and this area provides stability. Some of my clients say they have neighbors that have been there for 30 to 40 years,” says Albany Shaw, a Realtor with Compass who grew up in Oak Cliff.

Ranch-style homes sit on tree-lined streets
Oak Park Estates has approximately 875 homes developed in two phases. The northern half of the neighborhood above Five Mile Creek was developed in 1955 by Vernon and James Smith, while Fred Partleton added the southern portion in the 1960s. Both sections feature an eclectic collection of ranch-style homes with quarter-acre lots, elements of midcentury modern design and attached carports or garages. “A lot of these older homes have been well-maintained. Some are still in their original conditions, and homebuyers can come in and add their own personal touches,” Shaw says. Prices range from about $335,000 for a three-bedroom home to $495,000 for a recently remodeled four-bedroom home. Homebuyers will also find new construction scattered throughout the neighborhood, with contemporary custom-built homes starting at around $580,000. According to the CAP Index, the neighborhood has an overall Crime Score of 7.
Most homes in Oak Park Estates are older homes that have been updated with modern amenities.
