Oak Lawn is one of the best places to live in Dallas for a plethora of reasons. Primarily, it’s an area with a lot going on in the heart of Dallas. There are tons of brand new apartments & you’re right by Uptown but the cost of living is a bit more manageable. This area is great for pet owners due to its proximity to Katy Trial & local parks. You’ll also find a thriving nightlife & tons of great restaurants and bars to enjoy. With easy access to multiple highways getting around is a breeze if you have a car but can be a little difficult to get around without one.
