Elmwood

Elmwood is a unique and picturesque neighborhood in the north Oak Cliff section of Dallas that has the claim to fame of having been the main street section used in the movie Born on the 4th of July. A quaint and homey neighborhood that is only minutes from Downtown Dallas, Elmwood features tasteful and stylish homes on large plots that are meticulously landscaped.

The centerpiece of the neighborhood is Elmwood Park. The park runs alongside Cedar Creek on the northern edge of the neighborhood and has a large number of mature oak, elm, pecan, and hackberry trees that are home to a variety of birds and other wildlife. There is play equipment for children and plenty of open spaces for jogging, dog walking, or sports. Two DART rail stations serve the neighborhood making it easy and cheap to commute to any part of the city.

Elmwood is also close to the Bishop Arts District, a small and eclectic shopping and entertainment center where you can hear some of the best jazz and blues talent in a city legendary for turning out greats such as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Nora Jones.

Elmwood is a great place to live while enjoying some of the very best in shopping and music Dallas has to offer.
