Far North Dallas balances suburban calm with big-city access. With the Dallas North Tollway, President George Bush Turnpike, and US‑75 close by, commuting to Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Addison, or Carrollton is straightforward. The area spans established streets and newer enclaves on the edges of Dallas County and Collin County, offering everything from single‑family homes to sleek apartments and townhomes.
Weekends are easy to fill outdoors. Runners and cyclists trace the north–south corridor of the Preston Ridge Trail, while kids’ classes, pickleball, and fitness programs pack the Fretz Recreation Center. Shaded fields and tennis courts at Campbell Green Park keep neighborhood leagues busy, and just to the south, Galleria Dallas supplies destination shopping, dining, and seasonal ice skating.
Education options are a standout. Portions of the community are served by Dallas ISD’s George H. W. Bush Elementary School and by Plano ISD campuses such as Rose Haggar Elementary, Frankford Middle School, and Plano West Senior High School. Families appreciate the choice of public programs alongside nearby private and specialty schools, plus convenient libraries, healthcare, and after‑school activities.
