West Dallas
Once the city’s industrial backbone, West Dallas has emerged as its most exciting frontier for modern urban living. Defined by the iconic silhouette of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, this region is a bold tapestry of heritage and high-end innovation. In the heart of Trinity Groves, a world-class culinary and entertainment scene serves as the backyard for residents of sleek new high-rises and contemporary estates. Just beyond the glow of the skyline, established neighborhoods like La Bajada are being reimagined with ‘transitional modern’ architecture that prioritizes vertical views and clean lines. With the massive expansion of the Trinity River Park system and unparalleled proximity to the Design District and Downtown, West Dallas offers a lifestyle of raw energy and infinite potential. It is the destination for those who want to be at the center of the city’s next great chapter, where every street corner offers a new perspective on the Dallas horizon.
