Uptown Dallas

When locals think of McKinney Avenue they immediately think of Uptown Dallas. McKinney Avenue is a highly desirable address for both businesses and residents. The historic street winds through several prominent areas of Uptown such as West Village, Turtle Creek, Oak Lawn, and State Thomas. Residents and professionals who are in the area can easily catch the McKinney Avenue Trolley which winds through all of the trendiest Uptown neighborhoods. The area's popularity has attracted numerous hotels on the street for tourists who want to experience a piece of downtown Dallas.

Uptown neighborhood is an area located in the north portion of downtown Dallas. The neighborhood is an upscale portion of the city that is full of restaurants, shopping, bars, and spas but it was not originally intended to be an upper-class area of the city. The Uptown neighborhood was originally home to the disenfranchised people in Dallas. Hispanic immigrants and freed African American slaves first established the neighborhood and named Uptown "Little Mexico" and "Freedmen's Town". The African and Hispanic historical roots of the area have been erased with the exception of a massive grave site called Freedman's Cemetery that is buried under an expressway. The area is bordered by Central Expressway, Turtle Creek Boulevard, and Blackburn Street.

Today, the Uptown neighborhood is one of the most upscale and walkable areas in the city of Dallas. A dramatic overhaul in the urban planning of the area has transformed it into an urban oasis of numerous entertainment establishments that is set in gorgeous architecture. The transformation took thirty years. Uptown is divided into three areas; State Thomas, West Village, and Knox Park. The Uptown neighborhood is also considered to be part of the Oak Lawn community. Uptown is now considered one of the most desirable places to live in Dallas.
