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.

Located in South Dallas, I found this lovely historic home to be a unique blend of the traditional and contempory. As I stepped inside, the beautifully restored architecture took me back in time. In addition, the decor was fully responsive to our needs as corporate remote workers, while still feeling warm and inviting. It provided an array of amenities like a spacious backyard, fully equipped kitchen, unique second floor balcony, state of the art wifi, business conference settings and a spacious living area. The location was perfect for us to easily access downtown and an event I attended at Fair Park. My experience was a mix of unforgettable comfort and convenience.

This beauty of a home was just as described. Located In “Sunny” South Dallas this home is located near the highway that can take you to the Downtown Dallas area and beyond. With the original wood floors and wood paneling it gives it a very charming feel. Adding in the baby just sets it off.
