about this community?
 For many
years the Oaklawn area of Dallas represented the closest thing to urban living
offered in Dallas, with apartments and condominiums situated next to single-family
residences. Retail and residential have co-existed in this pocket neighborhood
on the fringes of downtown Dallas for many years, and have maintained their values
through many market trends. Situated along historic Turtle Creek, Oaklawn's blend
of ethnicity and urban living attracts both upscale buyers for elegant high-rises
along Turtle Creek, and buyers for many affordable garden condominiums and townhomes
available in the area. Perry Heights, an exclusively residential area within Oaklawn
developed in the 1920's and 30's, conveys the neighborhood feel of the era and
is within walking distance of urban activity.
