Over the years, the neighborhoods North of Northwest Highway have become known as Preston Hollow. It’s the area of the city known for grand estate homes, large shade trees and winding roads. Dallas finest architects have left and continue to leave their mark here with sprawling ranch houses, elegant chateaus, and Texas regionalist designs. The North Dallas Tollway intersects the area from Midway road to the west, Central Expressway to the east and Forest Lane to the north and provides easy access to downtown and far north Dallas. Many are drawn here because of the elite private schools and the active neighborhood associations. Northpark Center was built in 1965 by Raymond D. Nasher and remains one of the top-five retail destinations in the nation. Northpark is currently undergoing an expansion and renovation and will host new tenants such as Nordstrom, Ted Baker of London and Apple Computer. Just east of Central Expressway, plans have just been unveiled for Park Lane Place, a planned urban community which features loft living alongside upscale shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Preston Center, Preston Royal and the Galleria are also wonderful shopping venues in the area. Golf lovers can play their way north on one of the many great golf courses including Preston Hollow Country Club, Preston Trails (the only all male golf course in the city), Bent Tree and Stonebriar Country Club.
