Lochwood | Northeast Dallas
Known for its lush greenery and large lot sizes, Lochwood sits just northeast of White Rock Lake. The short commute to the city while still maintaining privacy and a slower laid back lifestyle makes Lochwood a ideal neighborhood, combining the best of both worlds. Its close proximity to Lower Grenville and the M Streets allows for the progressive culture to trickle into the tight knit community. The crime rate is dramatically lower than its surrounding neighbors which is always a good thing, safety first.
Lochwood homes are reminiscent of the 1950's and 1970's and new homes being built with sleek contemporary lines and eye catching architecture. Notably an up and coming neighborhood, the cost of homes in the area are very appealing to younger families establishing themselves.
There is never a shortage of things to do. Just a few blocks away you can choose from the many activities White Rock Lake has to offer. If your looking for more of an active nightlife, Grenville Ave. is just around the way, while having easy access to Uptown Dallas.
