About

It was created after a two-year effort to preserve the architectural integrity, and thus the value of the homes. Many of the area homes were built in the Tudor style before World War II. Lindsley Park is in the neighborhood and it is close to White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden and the popular Lakewood neighborhood.

The residents are zoned to Lakewood Elementary, [2] J. L. Long Middle School, [3] and Woodrow Wilson High School. [4]

Other area schools include the K-8 school Eduardo Mata Montessori School, also a DISD school, and the Lindsley Park Community School, a charter elementary school operated by Lumin Education. [5]
