Lush · Secluded · Jogger- and Pet-Friendly

Close to everything, yet quiet and secluded, this picturesque Dallas neighborhood runs alongside a natural creek by the same name. Oak Lawn and Uptown border this established, tree-lined community, affording residents easy access to amenities, restaurants, and bars, as well as two premier entrance points to the Katy Trail. The Turtle Creek neighborhood is one of the most scenic in the city and ideal for dog walking and jogging along the creek.

You’ll often see people enjoying time outdoors in the many lush parks, including Reverchon Park and Recreational Center, a 46-acre park along Turtle Creek with ball courts, fields, a playground, and recreational facilities. Additionally, Turtle Creek is widely known for architecturally significant estates, as well as luxurious mid-to-high-rise condos and apartments with private, gated entrances.

The area attracts ambitious, high-powered professionals as well as singles, couples, and families alike. Big businesses like the historic five-star Rosewood Mansion On Turtle Creek also call this neighborhood home.

Neighborhood Life

Turtle Creek’s unique mix of upscale dwellings and picturesque greenspace creates a quiet, stately, and high-end vibe. Towering trees, azalea-lined streets, and private, gated condominiums and apartment buildings generate a posh and exclusive atmosphere that attracts residents who desire ultimate privacy without sacrificing on luxury or location.

If you are searching for a green escape, but still want to live just a mile from downtown, Turtle Creek is worth a look.

Local Hangouts

Every local and visitor alike must dine alfresco and sample haute cuisine at the historic Rosewood Mansion in Turtle Creek.

Things to know

In reality, Turtle Creek is the unofficial nickname for Oak Lawn, and is, in fact, located in the Oak Lawn district. However, it occupies its own niche with its own distinct character. The neighborhood offers miles of scenic trails and spans all the way from north of Curtis Park down to the Trinity River.

Stone bridges, walkways, and tidy sidewalks with impressive creek views shape this neighborhood’s character, and all the parks are easy to get to and free for anyone to enjoy. Expect to find birds, blooming flowers, and lush trees everywhere, further contributing to its storybook feel.

Chris was so on it and very receptive to my feedback. There were specific things I wanted all in one place and somehow he managed to find it. It's amazing that he was able to do all this remotely, definitely saved me a lot of stress and hassle. Thank you Chris!

Before being helped by AptAmigo I spent close to 40 hours looking for the right apartment and barely found anything that I was satisfied with. I told Chris what I was looking for and he lined up tours for apartments the very next day. I had so many great options, my problem changed from "is there even a place here I want to live?" to "I don't know which one to choose!". All thanks to Chris and AptAmigo!

Brandi H. Did a wonderful job helping me locate my next apartment. She answered all my questions and was very responsive. She provided a solid list of apartments that met my criteria and made my search for a new pad less stressful. I like how the list she provided detailed which apartments were having specials.
