NORTHWOOD HILLS:
A Haven of Charm and Style in the Heart of Dallas
Northwood Hills may just be Dallas’ best kept secret, with so much character you’ll feel you’re in a carefree neighborhood of days long ago. Located along both sides of Hillcrest just north of LBJ, this high-end neighborhood with a small-town feel was developed from the 1950s through the ‘80s, and offers a wide variety of home ages and styles.
A drive along the curving streets of this quiet, distinctive neighborhood of 1125 single family homes reveals large lots shaded by massive oak, magnolia and elm trees. With an average lot size of one-half acre and the average home price at $625,000, this unique area has always attracted top professionals, executives, and their families. Its convenient location is a quick business commute within North Dallas, and rests mainly inside the “Exemplary” Richardson Independent School District - one of the highest rated in Texas.
Less than three miles and only minutes away are the great dining options of Addison’s Restaurant Row and shopping at The Galleria, Valley View Center, Hillcrest Village and Spring Creek Shopping Center. Excellent golf courses, prestigious private schools and renowned hospitals such as Medical City Dallas and Baylor Surgical Center are easily accessible and close by.
“Northwood Hills is an affluent but unpretentious neighborhood. Residents know each other, kids play together…it has a very gracious, personal style. From the beginning, it was designed to blend comfortable family living with the hills, creeks and other natural features that were already here, and the result is beautiful and welcoming. There’s nothing cookie-cutter about it,” says Rebel Webster, president of the voluntary homeowners association that provides a private security patrol, neighborhood beautification and community activities.
Another big fan of Northwood Hills says:
“Northwood Hills is one of the best kept secrets in Dallas real estate. You get huge lots, trees, and beautifully updated/maintained family homes brimming with style. The location is a hair north of LBJ, and Hillcrest makes travel a breeze. You also get Richardson Schools. My brother-in-law lived in Northwood Hills, where he educated four children; three went to Ivy League colleges.” -- Candy Evans, one of the nation’s leading real estate reporters, bloggers and consultants.
