This wonderful Dallas neighborhood is adjacent to Highland Park and a few minutes from downtown Dallas and the vibrant Arts District.
Greenbelts based on "English Commons" tradition Gorgeous 1920's Tudor
Greenway Parks also has a rich and prestigious history. In 1925, F.N. Drane acquired the land to establish Greenway Parks. David Williams, a highly regarded architect, was retained by the developers to lay out the plan based on the "English Commons" tradition of clustering houses around a series of open private parkways (greenbelts/greenways) and feature the first pedestrian-oriented community in Dallas. The first homes were built in Greenway Parks in 1925 and featured a wide variety of architectural styles including Colonial Revival, English Tudor, Mediterranean, Mission Revival and French Renaissance.
Many of Dallas' well-known families have resided in Greenway Parks. This neighborhood has been home to Ross Perot, Henry S. Miller, John Stemmons and Clint Murchison (former owner and founder of the Dallas Cowboy Football Team.) Many of Dallas' most well regarded architects have designed homes in Greenway Parks. O'Neil Ford, Howard Meyer, Bud Ogelsby, Charles Dilbeck, Hal Thompson, Foshee and Cheek, George Marble and John Aston Perkins among others have some of their finest work represented in this prestigious neighborhood.
Greenway Parks has received many accolades including D Magazine's"Best Neighborhoods" Award, the Texas Society of Architects "Best Residential District" Award and in 2003 Greenway Parks became a City of Dallas Conservation District.
