A unique suburb north of Dallas College
The soccer fields and science labs of Dallas College's Richland Campus anchor the southern side of Richardson’s Buckingham neighborhood, but the area to the north has plenty to offer both long-term residents and college students alike. Whether locals are looking for a unique new restaurant, an accessibly priced home or an easy, quick route into Dallas, they are likely to find it in Buckingham. The community benefits from the many perks of the surrounding city. Richardson offers employment opportunities at companies like State Farm and Raytheon, weekly concerts and shows at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and annual community events like the Cottonwood Art Festival and Wildflower Music Festival.

In-demand education at Richardson Schools
Residents of Buckingham are served by the highly-rated Richardson Independent School District. “The schools are a big draw here,” says Anne Westphal, a Realtor with Ebby Halliday Real Estate who has lived in Richardson for nearly 40 years. “We see a lot of people that move out of Dallas proper because as soon as people have kids, they want to move to a place where there are highly-rated schools." Richland Elementary scores a B on Niche, while Liberty Junior High School ranks a B-minus and Richardson High School scores an A rating. The high school is one of the oldest schools in the school district and has a specialized curriculum in science, law, and the arts. Dallas College Richland Campus is a prominent part of the neighborhood's southern border and is known for its programs in healthcare, engineering and manufacturing.
Richland Elementary is a local school popular with parents and students alike.

Fostering future athletes at ‘Sting’ and ‘Stars’
Buckingham has plenty of after-school recreation options for its young residents. The 7-acre Richland Park is directly next to Richland Elementary School on Park Bend Drive and offers a playground, tennis courts, a sand volleyball court and a baseball diamond. The Buckingham neighborhood also has two local sports facilities for young athletes. Sting Dallas Complex on Buckingham Road hosts soccer fields where their “little stingers” can train, while Richardson Stars Center, an ice hockey rink on Centennial Boulevard, offers youth lessons.

Daily train routes from Spring Valley Station
Commuters have nearby access to major thoroughfares like Highway 75, Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway and Interstate 635, which can all be used to travel the 15 miles into Dallas. Multiple Dallas Area Rapid Transit bus stops exist on major roads like Buckingham Road, Abram Road and West Spring Valley Road. Two daily train routes leave Spring Valley Station on Centennial Boulevard and head right into the heart of the city. “Most people commute into Dallas for work and we have the farthest north stop on the DART rail. Most of my friends that work downtown will get on the DART instead of grueling, nail-biting traffic for an hour,” Westphal says.
The 75 and 635 interchange connect drivers to the rest of Texas in mere moments.
DART trains connect Buckingham to the rest of Texas easily.

Stock up on groceries on the north side
Buckingham Road itself has many run-down shops and storage unit facilities, so most residents have to go to other sections of the neighborhood for everyday needs. The Kroger on Centennial Boulevard in the northeastern corridor of the neighborhood offers an easy errand run, but locals looking for more gourmet groceries can stop by Sara’s Market and Bakery on Sherman Street. This market offers the typical grocery fare, such as fresh produce, in addition to specialty goods like halal meat and house-baked pita bread. South Plano Road has a large selection of shopping for everything that can’t be found at the grocery store, from clothing to home goods.
Residents who find themselves on the north side of town can stop by Another Time & Place Grille on Abrams Road for Mediterranean cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients or Arwa Yemeni Coffee on Greenville Avenue for unique coffee, tea, and pastries. Across town, Bistro B on Walnut Avenue offers an extensive menu of nearly 500 Vietnamese favorites, from pho and spring rolls to milk tea and all-day breakfast.
The local Kroger is a popular choice for Buckingham residents getting their daily necessities.
