Oak Lawn Neighborhood Guide
Welcome to Fabulous Oak Lawn
Oak Lawn is located just north of Victory Park and nestled between Turtle Creek and the Dallas North Tollway. Just minutes north of Downtown, Oak Lawn provides more affordable living options than the neighboring Uptown.
About Oak Lawn
Between tonier Highland Park to the north and flashier Uptown to the south, Oak Lawn has long been the center of Dallas’ gay community. The neighborhood bars and clubs still draw big crowds each weekend, as does the annual Dallas Pride parade down Cedar Springs Road. But there are plenty of quieter streets of charming old duplexes, plus luxury living along Turtle Creek.
This is the video tour from The Prosper Neighborhood Guide. The Oak Lawn Video Will be published in the near Future!
