Neighborhood
Our home is located in a historic area near downtown Dallas that’s full of character and culture. This community is meaningful to our family—our patriarch, Dr. William Knox Flowers, lived here more than 77 years ago, and Parkland’s Bluitt-Flowers Health Clinic carries on his legacy today. The neighborhood has an authentic Dallas feel: a mix of longtime residents, new and older homes and easy access to everything in the city. Guests often share that they are pleasantly surprised by how peaceful the street is and how comfortable they feel once they arrive. What guests love most: • The convenience — just 3 miles from Downtown, Deep Ellum, Fair Park, and the Convention Center • The calm residential vibe paired with quick access to restaurants, music, and attractions • The privacy and security of the home, including smart locks, great lighting, and gated parking • The sense of history and community that gives the area its unique charm While the neighborhood reflects Dallas’ growth and diversity, guests consistently tell us the location works perfectly for exploring the city and relaxing at the end of the day.
