Hillcrest Oaks offers a quiet residential setting with easy access to the Metroplex
The Irving community of Hillcrest Oaks, located about 12 miles from downtown Dallas, is relatively secluded neighborhood that borders the Arts District while also offering easy access to the attractions and amenities of the nearby Metroplex. “It’s an ideal location for anyone needing access to the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metro area in an established neighborhood with a suburban feel,” says Casey Smith of Texcel Real Estate. Smith says she lives nearby because south Irving is less crowded than other parts of the city. “It’s nice to be in a quieter space away from the development.”
There are many unique homes in Hillcrest Oaks.

An established neighborhood where families are raised
The community features a collection of midcentury ranch-style homes built in the 1960s. Mature oaks and other native greenery shade sidewalks and front spacious yards in this attractive, walkable setting. “It’s one of the more established neighborhoods,” Smith says. “There are not a lot of rentals. It’s a lot of people who have lived there for a long time and raised their kids.” Smith describes the homes as “well-built and well-maintained.” With Texas winters and electric bills in mind, many homes are designed with brick and stone. Backyards are large enough for pools, which provide a convenient respite from the hot, humid Texas summers. Prices typically range from the low $300,000s to the mid-$400,000s.

Texas 183 connects residents to two airports, I-35
Texas 183, known locally as West Airport Freeway, provides a direct route to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport just 6 miles west of the neighborhood. The freeway also provides access to Love Field, a smaller commercial airport about 9 miles away. To the east, the freeway connects to Interstate 35. Downtown Dallas is 13 miles away via I-35. Closer to home, DART buses serve the community. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Irving is just across the freeway. “That’s why it’s such a desirable location and prices are a little higher, because you can get to everything so quickly,” Smith says. “That’s a HUGE perk for traveling within the Metroplex.”
The bus runs along several roads in Hillcrest Oaks.
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center campus is located just minutes from Hillcrest Oaks.
