It’s no secret Texas has seen record growth over the past decade, adding 12.6% to the total population since the 2010 census, according to Forbes.

Texas, especially Dallas, can attribute much of its population growth to a booming job market.

Many people looking to relocate to Dallas may be wondering which area they should move to.

  • Which area is best for kids?
  • Which is best for night life?
  • Which areas are most affordable?

In this article, we outline various neighborhoods to fit every lifestyle.

Best Neighborhoods in Dallas for Young Professionals

young professionals guide to moving

1. Uptown Dallas

Centered around McKinney Avenue, Uptown is located north of downtown and is the perfect place for young professionals to call home.

This urban area is known for its active night life scene and features a variety of cocktail lounges, night clubs and sports bars.

If you’re looking for a trendy vibe, West Village is the place to be. Shops and cafes line the street, above which you can find lofts and urban apartments.

Perhaps one of the best parts of Uptown is the trolley that runs from north to south, down McKinney Avenue.

2. Bishop Arts District

Located south of downtown Dallas, Bishop Arts District is a vibrant neighborhood featuring galleries, restaurants and shops.

This area is perfect for singles and young professionals who enjoy an active social life. Living in Bishop Arts District is affordable and is within walking distance to downtown.

If you’re looking for a fun weekend activity, check out Bishop Arts Festival, or spend the day tasting at Bishop Cider Co.

3. Knox-Henderson

Located northeast of downtown Dallas, Knox-Henderson is a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with a cozy vibe. Like most areas near downtown, Knox-Henderson is home to one-of-a-kind restaurants, vintage shops and a bustling night scene.

The urban area has convenient access to Katy Trail for outdoor activities and U.S. Highway 75 for the downtown commute.

Tips for Helping Your Family Adjust to the Big Move

Best Family Neighborhoods in Dallas

1. North Dallas

Perhaps the fastest growing area in the metroplex, and for good reason. McKinney, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Fairview and Prosper are the major cities in this area, each one unique.

Although there has been significant growth in this area over the years, you’ll find each city is a perfect blend of small-town feel meets exciting urban growth.

These cities are quiet, full of community parks and hiking trails, and home to highly rated school districts.

However, it’s also easy to find boutique shopping and restaurants in Downtown McKinney and fun nightlife in Legacy West.

2. Coppell

Founded in 1890, this northwest Dallas suburb is a wonderful place to raise a family. Relatively small and with a low crime rate, Coppell’s residents are encouraged by the Coppell City Council to be involved in making decisions for their community.

This is especially important if you are passionate about influencing what happens in your neighborhood.

Having won the Best Places to Live in Dallas award several years in a row, Coppell attracts residents with amenities like hiking trails and parks, recreation programs and the Living Well in Coppell program.

3. Highland Park

Highly affluent and located north of downtown Dallas, Highland Park has beautiful homes, upscale shopping and a variety of fine dining options.

The neighborhood is also home to community pools and parks, perfect for outdoor family activities. Looking for an excellent opportunity for your children?

Highland Park ISD is a top-rated education system dedicated to the success of its students. The city is also committed to the safety of its residents.

In fact, Highland Park Public Safety Department will perform house checks for any residents out of town for an extended period.
