Big city living in one of Dallas' oldest nieghborhoods
Panoramic views of the Dallas skyline draw homebuyers to The Cedars, but its lively and artistic community is why they choose to stay. In the epicenter of Downtown Dallas, The Cedars neighborhood is known for its assortment of activities, from spending the day drinking with buddies at breweries to seeing hand-made work at contemporary art galleries. This southside Dallas locale earned its name in the 1800s for the cedars that once decorated this prairie-turned-industrial park filled with high-rise condos and lofts. "I love living here. It's a great location, next to so many highways," says Emily Thompson, a Global Real Estate Advisor with Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty and a life-long resident of Dallas and The Cedars for nearly three years. "It's community-oriented and filled with great music venues, artists and eclectic people who love city life."
