Hollywood Heights: Trees galore + eclectic architecture in East Dallas

There are so many great places to live in Dallas that having an expert by your side helps. The neighborhood guide presented by Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty gives you insider access from the agents living and working there and provides you with in-depth information about your potential new community.

“I’ve lived in this area for 16 years,” says Real Estate Agent Catherine Lee. “The convenience and charm brought me to Hollywood Heights. This part of Dallas has a small town feel to it, but you have all the amenities of a big city just minutes away.”

Conveniently located near downtown, White Rock Lake, Lower Greenville and more great restaurants than you can count, Hollywood Heights is known for its charm and unique East Dallas architecture.

“The winding streets are lined with large oak, maple and pecan trees that are home to many species of birds, including the barred owl, which you often hear,” says Lee. “Hollywood Heights is off the beaten path, tucked away near the Lakewood Country Club. But if you leave the neighborhood, you’re close to everything.”

Lee offered some of her personal favorites about Hollywood Heights life. Here is her guide to the area:

Where can you eat and drink

Sa Sa sushi, My kitchen for Mambo taxis, Scalinis to see the locals and enjoy good food, and Times ten cellars never disappoints, “says Lee.

Where to play

White Rock Lake has so many activities for the whole family from running and walking to biking to taking your dogs on the 15-mile trail, “she says.” It’s fun to watch the sailboats and high school students rowing. The sunsets from White Rock Lake are beautiful and make you feel like you are far away from the city. “

the Dallas Arboretum has something for everyone and is open all year round, with the exception of a few bank holidays. There are seasonal exhibits, private venues, concerts, cooking classes, and much more. “My favorite times to visit are spring to see the flowers blooming and fall, when nearly 90,000 pumpkins are on display,” says Lee.

Where to live

“Hollywood Heights has some of the most charming homes in Dallas,” says Lee. “These include Tudor cottages, Dilbeck houses, Art Deco, French and Spanish eclectic, Craftsman and Monterrey styles. Many houses still have their original lead and stained glass windows and doors. “

The neighborhood is also for the coveted Lakewood Elementary Zone with many great private schools close by.
